# Elah

> Elah is building Node, a personal AI device that lives with you, not in a data center. The AI inside Node is called Samantha. Node is designed to run on hardware you own, with no usage limits, no per-word metering and no subscription meter.

Elah is an early-stage company, currently in stealth. Node is in development and has not shipped. The "Meet Samantha" film on the website is a concept film made with an interface prototype and scripted responses.

## What Node is designed to do

- Run a personal AI on a device in your home or office, so conversations, files and memories stay there.
- Work without tokens, credits or a usage meter.
- Keep working when the internet is down.
- Remember what matters to you, with a memory you can see and edit.
- Create images, video and 3D with you, and run helper agents ("a crew") for background work.
- Offer private, on-site AI pilots for businesses.
