About Akiva & Friends

A living council of eight Torah sages you can talk with — each answering in his own voice, from real, cited sources, running entirely on local hardware.

What it is

Akiva & Friends is an interactive study companion. You can speak (or type) a question and a sage answers aloud — lip-syncing and emoting as he speaks. Ask a single sage one-on-one, or convene the whole council and hear each voice weigh in. Every answer is grounded in real Torah sources (Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash and the classical commentators); the sages are built to cite what they teach and to decline rather than invent.

How it works

Local by design

The entire experience — language, retrieval, voice, and vision — runs on hardware we own and operate. There are no third-party AI APIs, no cloud inference, no analytics, and no tracking cookies. Your conversation stays on your device (see our Privacy Policy).
