fak10
A diary that does something
A diary records. An AI chat forgets, or remembers on someone else's servers. fak10 stays on your device and puts what it knows to work.
Everything in one place
People, contracts, documents and what matters to you. Every entry with its source and date.
What never made it into the calendar
The policy that runs out in four weeks. The notice period, before it lapses.
Forms, filled in
From what fak10 already knows about you. You check, you sign. “Computer, do it.”
Three promises
While everything moves to the cloud, fak10 stays with you.
Anna on your device
Anna understands language through her own grammar, right on your iPhone, even offline. She doesn't guess: if she doesn't understand something, she asks.
The AI only when you call it
For a long document you can bring in a big AI. Beforehand you see exactly what leaves your phone, and nothing else does.
No account
No sign-up, no server stores your data. What you tell fak10 belongs to you.
Your data never leaves fak10 unencrypted.
Anna is thirty
At sixteen, I built a tree of my own needs in Excel, with her name hidden in the file name: An@lyse. She has been called Anna ever since. Today I'm using the big AI to build the small one I always wanted.

Anna versus the big AI
Three short texts about a made-up family, fourteen things you should know after reading them. Anna reads them on the iPhone, a big AI in the cloud. I measure in the open and publish every result.
Anna
on the iPhone, offline
- 0 false entries
- What she doesn't understand, she asks about instead of guessing.
Big AI
language model in the cloud
- 4 invented relations, such as “is not the daughter of”
- 1 contradiction: lives in Leipzig and used to live there
- 1 person created twice
The big AI understands far more today. Anna, in return, writes down nothing false. To be fair: some of the AI's mistakes come from my protocol, which can't express negation yet. I'm improving both sides and will publish every new result.
Be there when fak10 launches
The waitlist opens soon. I'll only collect addresses once they are stored with a provider in the EU and the privacy policy is in place. Until then, follow the devlog to see how Anna learns language.
