Saanora (Mark 1x)
Indie all-in-one AI desk for cited research, code, docs, memory and multi-person 'Rooms', with an open Mark 1x-9B model on Hugging Face and ModelScope; launched on Product Hunt.
Why it matters
One persistent workspace instead of scattered AI tabs, plus a genuinely open-weight 9B model for self-hosting, rare honesty from an indie launch.
What you could build with it
Clone the 'Rooms' pattern as a B2B2C embed: a shared AI desk inside CA and law-firm client portals where client and professional co-chat with cited research over the firm's own documents.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge. Launched September 23; the web app is free with no signup so hands-on verdicts may come soon, but no independent reviews, demos, or third-party builds were found yet.
