EQUS X: personal AI with a private data store the user controls
A personal AI paired with a private data store the customer controls: the AI reads files only with per-file permission, and what it learns stays in the user's store, not on provider servers.
Why it matters
Inverts the personal-AI data bargain with granular file-by-file access, revocation at any time, no training on personal data, no ads or resale, free through end of 2026.
What you could build with it
A privacy-focused startup could build on the EQUS X trust-layer model to offer compliant AI assistants for regulated professionals, where client data must never leave the customer's control.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge. Priority access opened Oct 5 with general availability later in October; no hands-on reviews or independent security assessments yet.
