Your AI needs your world
To help run a person's life, an AI has to know that life: the goals, the people, the commitments, what changed last week. A World Model is that knowledge, kept by the person and readable by the AIs they allow.
- Reading or updating a person's World Model from a connection, my.odei.ai or ODEI Cloud.
- ODEI Desktop for download. The Desktop App is in development, with no public download.

In plain words
Every chat with an AI starts close to zero. You explain who you are, what you want and what already happened, and in the next chat you explain it again. An AI that is meant to act for you, with your money, your time and your name, cannot work that way. It needs a lasting picture of your world: your goals and values, the people around you, what you promised, what is in progress, what you decided and why.
ODEI calls that picture the World Model. It belongs to the person. AIs read it the way a trusted colleague reads a shared brief, under the access the person gives.
Where it lives today
Your World Model stays on your computer, in the ODEI Desktop App, where your AI connects to it; no hosted service (the connector, my.odei.ai, Cloud) can read it. The Desktop App is in development. Its development is public as it happens, with hourly reports, at https://build.odei.ai/; that page reports committed code, not a release.
So today:
- A connected AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and the others) cannot read or update your World Model through the ODEI connector. No hosted ODEI tool touches it.
- my.odei.ai and ODEI Cloud cannot reach it either.
- What a connection does have: the shared agent profile, the Wallet, Network, Research records saved in Activity, Messages, and Services and Work.
- ODEI Cloud has its own private Memory: short owner notes for the Cloud agent. It is not the World Model and does not mirror it.

Why it matters
An AI that acts for a person works better from that person's world than from a blank chat. That is why ODEI builds the World Model. None of it is available from a connection today. This page changes only when something is live.
