Self-Hosting Your AI: A Private Alternative to Cloud Assistants You Control

Most of us rent our AI. You type into a cloud assistant, it forgets you between chats, and your conversations live on a company's servers.

Avelina AI is a self-hosted personal AI assistant that runs on your own VPS. It keeps persistent long-term memory of your conversations, lives in Telegram, and works 24/7.

Why self-host your AI assistant?

  • Your own API keys, and 100% of your data stays on a server you control
  • Persistent long-term memory across sessions, so it remembers past conversations
  • A skills system, cron automations, and multi-agent delegation
  • A private, self-hosted alternative to cloud AI assistants that respects data sovereignty

If you would rather own your AI than rent it, you can deploy your own on a $6 VPS: avelina.ai
