CyberFoxX · Private intelligence. Human purpose.
The future has a memory.
Private intelligence. Intelligent environments. Human purpose.
CyberFoxX is exploring a new generation of locally powered AI systems designed to connect people, technology and the spaces they call home.
Beyond smart homes
Connected devices were only the beginning.
Most smart homes automate devices. CyberFoxX is researching environments that add context, memory and personalisation, so the home can understand routines rather than wait for commands.
Example
“Turn on the kitchen lights.”
The lights turn on. Every request starts from zero, and often travels to a cloud service and back.
- Follows explicit commands
- No memory of preferences
- Often cloud-dependent
Meet Tavian
Status: ResearchIntelligence that grows with your world.
Tavian is the AI companion and research platform at the heart of the CyberFoxX vision: an exploration of private AI designed to remember, understand and adapt, while keeping people in control.
- Persistent household context
- Natural-language interaction
- Local knowledge retrieval
- User-approved actions

Intelligence that respects privacy
Your home. Your intelligence. Your data.
The home is the trust boundary. These are the design principles guiding our architecture. They are goals we engineer towards, not claims that every prototype already meets them.
Local-first processing
Designed so that AI runs on hardware inside the home wherever practical, not in a distant data centre.
Household-owned memory
Preferences and context belong to the household, kept inside the home's trust boundary.
Consent and choice
External integrations are optional and explicitly authorised. Some, like weather or updates, do need the internet.
Control over what is remembered
The intention is that people can see, correct and delete what the system remembers.
No selling household data
Our business model does not depend on selling or brokering household information.
Built for humanity · AI for Autism
Status: ExploratoryAutism isn't a problem to fix. It's a language to understand.
Our humanitarian research initiative explores whether private, personalised AI companions could help neurodivergent people and their families communicate, learn and navigate everyday environments, adapting to the individual rather than the other way round.
Exploratory research. Not a medical device, therapy or diagnostic tool.
“Technology should learn to understand the individual, not demand that the individual change to accommodate the technology.”
- Agency, dignity and individuality first
- Consent-centred, family-authorised controls
- Privacy-first, locally hosted by design
Engineered in the real world
Real hardware. Real networks. Real land.
CyberFoxX builds and tests practical systems on physical equipment rather than relying only on abstract AI concepts.
Edge computing
NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Raspberry Pi 5 with AI accelerators and repurposed Linux nodes running local models.
Physical sensors
Cameras, thermal imaging and environmental sensors wired into real experiments.
Network engineering
Juniper and WatchGuard security appliances, managed switches and segmented VLANs.
Autonomic Ranch
An approximately eight-acre rural test environment in Cumbria for real-world R&D.
The CyberFoxX ecosystem
Let others build apps. We build ecosystems.
Select a component to see how local AI, household context, secure networking, edge computing, sensors, automation and human interfaces fit together.
Conceptual system architecture
Tavian AI Core
Status: ResearchThe research AI companion that interprets context, recalls household memory and proposes helpful actions.
How it contributes
- Local language models and retrieval
- Agent orchestration
- Human-approved action planning
Safeguard: Runs on hardware the household controls.
Development journey
Where we are, and where we are going.
An honest view of progress. We have not attached dates to future phases, because we would rather earn milestones than announce them.
PHASE 01
Status: EstablishedCompany formation, infrastructure and engineering experiments.
- CyberFoxX Limited (UK) and CyberFoxX LLC (US) established
- Hands-on lab assembled from edge-AI processors, Linux nodes and networking hardware
- Segmented lab network and firewall architecture
- Early local AI and computer-vision experiments
PHASE 02
Status: In DevelopmentPrivate AI, sensors, networking, local processing and proof-of-concept systems.
