Kothon brings trusted HIRAM instances into a working network. Today, peers can handle focused text tasks: analysis, summaries, drafting, and code generation.
Trust is the starting point.
You choose the peers. Connections are explicit, and remote work is opt-in.
The work comes back to you.
Track a remote task and keep its result with the model that produced it.
More models. A wider reach.
Put a trusted peer’s configured model to work and bring its answer into your own workspace.

A few things to know.
What is HIRAM?
HIRAM is a free, open-source AI agent built for public use. Its local-first workspace brings together agents, tools, memory, and longer-running missions. It brings the work into one place, with progress you can follow and approvals for sensitive actions.
Is HIRAM free and open source?
Yes. HIRAM is an open-source project being built for everyone, with a public-purpose mission rather than a commercial offering. Its complementary marketing tools help users develop their own ideas and businesses. Public downloads and source access details will appear here when the release is ready.
What makes Kothon different?
Kothon connects trusted HIRAM instances for focused remote text work: analysis, summaries, drafting, and code generation. Results return with model attribution. Its shared-session workspace also lets invited accounts on one instance suggest, draft, and contribute with clear permissions.
Remote text work does not grant a peer access to your private memory or local tools. Shared sessions are currently local to one HIRAM instance.
How can HIRAM help me start a business?
Use HIRAM to research an idea, organise what you learn, and turn it into a plan. Complementary marketing tools help you define an audience, shape a brand voice, draft a campaign, and prepare content for your social presence. Inspired by Lebanon’s entrepreneurial spirit, they bring practical uses of AI into the early work of building a business.
Does everything run offline?
Local-first means HIRAM’s runtime and workspace can live on your computer. A configured local model can handle model work locally. Cloud models, web research, connected services, and remote peers need their respective network connections. Where your prompts go depends on the providers and peers you choose.
What will I need to run it?
HIRAM is being prepared for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Public installers and final system requirements are still pending. The current source setup uses Python 3.12 or 3.13, uv, Node.js 22, and a local or cloud model provider. Docker is not required for ordinary chat, research, or content work. It is used when running and testing code or shell commands in an isolated environment. Local model memory and storage needs depend on the model you choose.
When can I download HIRAM?
The public release is still in preparation. This page will carry the verified installer, release notes, and final setup instructions when they are ready. There is no announced release date yet.
Why the Phoenician story?
The Phoenicians’ success connected skilled craftsmanship, maritime enterprise, and the exchange of ideas. HIRAM draws inspiration from that spirit. The harbor is our visual metaphor for Kothon: independent places connected through purposeful exchange.
The harbor and vessel artwork are contemporary interpretations, not historical reconstructions.
