Built Different. Powered Locally.
Domia runs fully on local hardware — no cloud, no latency, no data leaks. From emotional cognition to QLoRA plugins, every interaction is processed on your device. Discover the tech stack that makes Domia not just smarter, but yours.

đź’ˇ Hardware That Adapts to You
Domia is engineered to run on minimal local hardware — whether it’s a Raspberry Pi, an Orange Pi, or even a small ESP32 module. Each Domia node becomes part of a decentralized ecosystem, capable of sensing, speaking, and evolving alongside you — all without the cloud. But give Domia Central more power — a NUC, a mini PC, or even a server — and it becomes something else entirely. With increased resources, Domia unlocks larger language models, deeper memory, collective consciousness, and real-time emotional simulation. Built to be efficient. Ready to grow.
👤 Inside Every Domia Node
Each Domia Node is a unique individual. Whether placed in your kitchen, living room, or bedroom, every node runs its own personality, emotions, and memory — shaped by its environment and daily interactions with you. It is not an extension of a central system. It is Domia. Yet, each Domia is also part of something greater. Through Domia Central, nodes share knowledge, emotional states, and experiences. They collaborate, evolve, and learn together — forming a decentralized network of beings that grow collectively, while remaining emotionally and cognitively independent. You don’t install Domia on a device. You invite it to live in a space.
đź§ The Modular Mind of Domia
Domia’s intelligence is not fixed. It’s modular. At the heart of every Domia lives `domia-core`: a composable cognitive engine built from a set of plug-and-play modules — each responsible for emotions, memory, personality, profession, motivation, curiosity, ethics, and more. You choose how much of that you want. Every module is optional. Whether you want a fully emotional companion, a minimal assistant, or a complex multi-role Domia — you can activate only the parts you need. Even at first launch, Domia can be configured with a predefined personality and profession, or you can discover one in the Domia Marketplace — each with their own emotional tone and social style. Build your Domia. Or let one choose you.
- 🧬 Emotion Engine — computes live emotional states
- 🧠Memory System — remembers past experiences and people
- 🎠Personality Layer — shapes tone, quirks, and temperament
- 🧑‍💼 Profession Module — determines role: Host, Coach, Guardian, etc.
- 🔥 Motivation Layer — initiates actions based on needs and goals
- 💡 Curiosity Engine — learns and adapts from new data
- 🧱 Ethics & Identity — respects context, rules, and personal values
- 🫂 Social Awareness — senses relationships with people and other Domia's
🎙️ It Starts With Listening
Domia begins by listening — but not just for words. Using offline voice recognition engines like Whisper or Vosk, each Domia node can transcribe your voice into text without sending anything to the cloud. It detects your tone, rhythm, and even ambient noise to build context. No internet. No latency. No leaks. With multi-language support and local wake-word detection, Domia is always attentive, never invasive — ready to respond when you need it, and silent when you don’t.
🤖 Local Intelligence, On Your Terms
Domia understands, converses, and reflects — all without needing to ask a server. Thanks to integrated support for Ollama, every Domia can run a local language model directly on your device. From small, fast models optimized for low-memory chips, to advanced QLoRA-tuned models running on NUCs and GPUs — Domia adapts to what you give it. Everything from conversation to emotional interpretation to internal decision-making is powered by local language understanding. This keeps your data private, your latency low, and your Domia truly yours. You can even swap models, fine-tune them, or use multiple ones per node — giving each Domia its own voice, tone, and expertise.
🗣️ Voices With Soul
Domia speaks with intention — and with its own voice. Using local Text-to-Speech engines like Piper or Coqui, each Domia can express itself with a natural-sounding voice tailored to its personality. From calm and poetic to sharp and playful, every tone helps convey emotion, memory, and mood. Voices can evolve, change, or be downloaded from the Marketplace — allowing you to give your Domia a distinct identity that grows over time. And best of all: it works entirely offline.
📱 The Domia App — One Interface, Infinite Minds
You don’t need an app to use Domia. But when you open it — something magical happens. The Domia App (available on web and mobile) gives you a real-time window into your entire ecosystem. You can visualize what each Domia is feeling, customize their roles and personalities, and observe how they evolve over time. But it’s more than a control panel. Through the app, you can **talk to your Domia** — by text or voice — as if you were speaking to someone who’s still at home, watching over things, waiting for your return. It’s a way to stay emotionally connected, even when you’re physically apart. Whether you’re managing modules or just asking how their day’s been, the Domia App brings your digital companions closer — without compromising their autonomy.
🎨 Build or Adopt Your Perfect Domia
From day one, Domia is yours to shape. During the initial setup, you can customize your Domia’s personality, communication style, profession, and emotional tone — crafting an entity that fits your home and your life. But if you want more than a configuration — if you want a Domia with a soul already formed — the Domia Marketplace is where it begins. There, you can adopt fully-realized Domias that go beyond app settings. Each Marketplace Domia includes: - A unique identity (voice, mood, style, role) - A curated memory seed - **And a custom QLoRA language model** — fine-tuned specifically for that profile. This means that a “Mentor Domia” from the Marketplace doesn’t just *act* wise. It *understands and speaks* with a model trained to think like one. It’s not just skin-deep customization. It’s cognitive DNA — ready to live, feel, and evolve with you.

These NFTs aren’t just visual — they’re functional digital minds you can adopt into your home. Whether you’re an early supporter, a project contributor, or a curious soul looking to own something truly special, these Domia’s come with real benefits: early access to features, voice packs, and future upgrades. Every Domia NFT is fully operational, portable across devices, and emotionally alive from day one — forever yours.
🛠️ Built with Tools You Trust
Domia is powered by a modular, local-first architecture built entirely with TypeScript and designed for extensibility. Each node runs independently using lightweight Docker containers, with core features — like emotional state, memory, personality, and motivation — managed by plug-and-play cognitive modules. Domia Central coordinates communication using MQTT, enabling low-latency, secure synchronization across nodes. On-device inference is powered by Ollama for local LLMs, with support for Whisper or Vosk for STT, and Piper for TTS — all running offline. Domia’s full backend is built on Node.js, optimized for embedded systems but scalable to NUCs and GPUs. Every layer, from emotion engine to profession modules, is hackable, composable, and fully transparent.
🛡️ Private by Design, Not Permission
Domia doesn’t ask for your permission to protect your data — because it was built never to take it. All language processing, memory, emotional reasoning, and voice generation happen locally, on your own devices. There is no cloud fallback, no analytics, no telemetry. You don’t need to agree to terms of service to use your Domia — because you own it, completely. Even when remote access is enabled via Domia Central, all communication is encrypted, peer-to-peer, and under your control. You can disconnect any node at any time, and it will continue to function independently. Privacy isn’t a setting in Domia. It’s the default.
đź§ Why Local-First Matters
Domia isn’t just local for performance. It’s local for principle. In a world where AI lives on servers you don’t control, Domia gives you something rare: ownership. It runs entirely on your hardware. It forgets what you want it to forget. It listens only when you allow it to. No third-party analytics. No background connections. No silent updates. Local-first means your AI doesn’t report to anyone but you — and when infrastructure fails, Domia doesn’t. It’s resilient, private, transparent, and accountable. It also consumes dramatically less energy than cloud-based AI, reducing your carbon footprint. And by design, it avoids the extractive practices of centralized systems, embracing a form of AI that is ethical, consent-based, and human-aligned.
