Aexa Launches AEXA VAULT:

A Fully Offline AI Assistant That Fits in Your Hand

The device-based AI assistant delivers voice conversation with a real-time lip-sync avatar — without ever connecting to the internet

Aexa Vault - 100% offline AI Assistant

Houston, TX — February 2025 — Aexa Aerospace, a Houston-based aerospace technology company, today announced the release of AEXA VAULT v1.0 “First Contact,” a fully offline AI assistant that operates entirely on a handheld device. Aexa Vault features a voice-interactive avatar with real-time lip-sync animation, delivering a face-to-face AI experience without requiring any cloud connectivity or internet access.

In an era where virtually every AI assistant sends user data to remote servers, professionals handling sensitive information — from proprietary business strategies to classified defense data — face an impossible choice: leverage AI or protect their privacy. Aexa Vault eliminates that tradeoff.

“Every time you talk to a cloud-based AI, someone else’s server is processing your most sensitive conversations,” said Dr. Fernando, Founder and CEO of Aexa Aerospace. “We built Aexa Vault because we believe the future of AI shouldn’t cost you your privacy. Your data should never have to leave the room.”

What Is Aexa Vault?

Aexa Vault is a complete AI assistant that runs on a single device smaller than a paperback book. Users interact with Aexa through natural voice conversation, and the system responds with synthesized speech through a visual avatar whose lips move in real time as she speaks. The entire experience — speech recognition, language processing, voice synthesis, and avatar animation — runs locally on the device with zero internet dependency.

No data is transmitted. No conversations are recorded on external servers. No subscriptions are required. Once set up, Aexa Vault operates in complete isolation from the internet.

Who Is Aexa Vault For?

Aexa Vault is designed for professionals and organizations that need AI capabilities without the security risks of cloud-based solutions:

Defense and aerospace teams operating in classified or air-gapped environments

Executives and business leaders who handle proprietary strategies and competitive intelligence

Healthcare professionals who need AI assistance without exposing patient data

Legal teams working with attorney-client privileged information

Field teams and remote operations in environments with limited or no connectivity

Privacy-conscious individuals who want AI assistance without surveillance

Key Capabilities

Voice-Interactive Avatar: A visual AI agent with real-time lip-sync animation that creates a natural, face-to-face conversation experience.

Complete Offline Operation: All processing occurs on-device. No internet connection is required or used during operation.

Natural Voice Conversation: Continuous hands-free voice mode allows users to have flowing conversations without pressing buttons.

Document Analysis: A built-in document mode enables users to upload and analyze documents with AI-powered retrieval.

Open Source: The complete Aexa Vault project is released as open-source software, enabling organizations to inspect, customize, and build upon the technology.

“We named the first release ‘First Contact’ because this is the first time people can have a genuine face-to-face conversation with an AI that lives entirely in their hands,” said Dr. Fernando. “The smartest conversations are the ones nobody else can hear.”
