What is ARMES?
A private multi-model workspace unifying 21+ AI labs, 95+ models, and specialized agents under zero data retention.
Overview
ARMES (pronounced "Armies", /ˈɑːr.miːz/) is a private multi-model AI workspace. It unifies 21+ frontier AI labs and 95+ models behind a single, user-controlled context layer, backed by end-to-end Zero Data Retention (ZDR) inference and a team of specialized agents that share your knowledge.
Unlike traditional AI subscriptions where each lab maintains separate chat logs, training pipelines, and data retention policies, ARMES gives you private access to the world's best intelligence—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Perplexity, and more—in one integrated workspace.
Zero Data Retention Invariant
Every model request in ARMES routes through account-level Zero Data Retention infrastructure. AI providers process your messages in memory and immediately purge them. No provider-side training, profiling, human review queues, or advertising.
The Four Core Pillars
Every capability in ARMES is built upon four architectural pillars:
1. Unification of Frontier Intelligence
You no longer need to maintain separate subscriptions for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. In ARMES, you have immediate access to 95+ models across 21+ leading AI labs:
- Flagship Frontier Families: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, and more.
- High-Efficiency MoE & Open Intelligence: DeepSeek, Qwen, NVIDIA Nemotron, Meta Llama, and more.
- Specialized Synthesis Engines: Real-time cited research powered by Perplexity, plus unified visual generation.
Switch models mid-conversation with a single click. Your notes, files, instructions, and context persist seamlessly. You can inspect live active models and provider labs anytime on the AI Access Portal.
2. Dual-Layer Privacy
Privacy in ARMES is an architectural guarantee rather than a settings toggle. We divide data handling into two distinct, transparent layers:
| Layer | Responsibility | Privacy Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Inference (Brain) | ZDR Provider APIs | Process and forget. Enforced 4-scope Zero Data Retention. No lab storage, training, or ads. |
| Workspace (Memory) | Secure ARMES Vault | User-owned. Notes, files, chats, and memories live in your vault until you delete them. |
3. Glass-Box Context Layer
In ARMES, context is not hidden in a black-box database. Everything your AI team knows is visible, editable, and deletable by you:
- Notes: A structured markdown knowledge base shared across all your agents.
- Persistent Files: Upload PDFs, spreadsheets, and documents once for on-demand summaries and chunked retrieval.
- Projects: Organize workstreams into focused client or personal lenses.
- Memory Ledger: Inspect the exact identity profile and atomic facts your agents reference.
4. Specialized AI Teammates
Instead of a generic chatbot, ARMES provides a library of 40+ specialized agents (marketing directors, code architects, financial analysts, writers, and C-Suite executives). Agents can use tools, browse the live web, generate images, read your files, and consult one another mid-thread.
What Makes ARMES Different
| Feature | Typical AI Chatbots | ARMES Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Provider Retention | Stores chats for 30+ days; may train models; profile + monetize user data | Zero Data Retention on every request |
| Model Choice | Locked to a single provider | 95+ models across 21+ labs |
| Pricing | $20–30/mo per provider ($20–110+ combined) | One subscription starting at $9 or $19/mo |
| Knowledge Base | Re-upload files per chat | Shared persistent notes & file library |
| Personalization | Hidden profiling | User-controlled, inspectable memory ledger |
| Collaboration | Disconnected | Encrypted DMs/groups with humans and AI agents in the room |
