Why Professionals Are Switching from ChatGPT to Okara
If you're a lawyer, doctor, founder, analyst, researcher, or work with sensitive information, Okara is the best ChatGPT alternative designed for professionals who need privacy, control, and shared intelligence.
Privacy-First by Design
Most AI tools process or store your data in ways you can't control. Okara takes a fundamentally different approach:
Encrypted-at-rest chat & file storage
Your conversations, uploads, and workspace memory remain encrypted and safe.
Zero training on your data
Your prompts, documents, PDFs, and conversations never train the models.
Client-side key generation
Your private keys never leave your device.
Full data sovereignty
Your ideas remain yours, never repurposed, never harvested.
