The Intelligence Delivery Network (IDN) is the idea at the core of webAI: instead of relying on a centralized cloud for AI, every device running the app becomes a node in a shared network of intelligence.

​
How it works

1

Your device creates intelligence locally

When you set up Oasis, configure personas, index your files, or build workflows, you’re creating something valuable — on your machine, owned by you.
2

You can share that intelligence with others

Approved contacts and space members can query your persona directly. Their question comes in, your device processes it locally, and only the answer goes back. Your data never leaves.
3

The network grows with its users

Every person who runs the app adds a node. The more nodes, the more solutions are discoverable and available — without any central server collecting, indexing, or monetizing what people build.

​
Why it matters

Today, AI is a service you rent from the cloud. A few companies own the servers, set the prices, and see the traffic. The IDN flips that model:
  • You own your intelligence. The models, the data, the context — all on your device.
  • You choose what to share and with whom. Sharing is opt-in, per-contact, and per-persona.
  • The network is just a protocol. It connects you without extracting value from what flows through it.
Think of it as the difference between posting your work on a platform that owns it, and sharing it directly with people who need it — on your terms.

Where the IDN surfaces today

The IDN is still early in the product. Today it surfaces through:
FeatureHow it connects to the IDN
Distributed searchSearch extends to peers you’re connected with, surfacing files and content from other devices
webAI effectLet approved contacts query your persona — their question is processed on your device, and only the answer is sent back
spacesThe underlying infrastructure that connects devices directly without a central server
As the platform matures, the IDN becomes the fabric that ties it all together.
