Operating entirely offline, Kind Local Pro gives individuals local data sovereignty without sacrificing AI performance

Synsira Software is addressing the biggest concern with AI: privacy. Today, the company introduced Kind Local Pro, an AI platform that operates independently of corporate cloud-based LLM models and is available to download onto desktops and laptops. Designed for people and organizations wanting the benefits of AI without sending their data, analysis and queries to external sources, the platform allows users to take control of their information.

Kind Local Pro builds on Synsira’s flagship Kind platform, giving professionals, researchers, communicators, legal teams, educators and organizations a more private way to search and understand their own files using AI. Built to operate locally on a user’s desktop or laptop, Kind Local Pro lets users create collections and ask questions across their materials, with answers generated only from their data and not the open web.

“People want AI to be useful, but they also want to know where their data is going,” said Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer, founder of Synsira Software and creator of Kind. “That is not a small concern. For many people and businesses, it is the whole issue. Kind Local Pro was built for users who want AI on their own terms: private, local and grounded in their own information.”

With Kind Local Pro, users add documents, presentations, research papers, notes, videos, images, email inboxes, audio and other supported files into collections. Once the content is indexed, summarized, tagged and analyzed by Kind AI, they can ask natural-language questions or do fuzzy searching and receive answers with precise citations into the information in those files. If the user’s data does not contain enough information to answer a question, Kind Local Pro is designed to say so rather than invent a response.

The platform is purpose-built for data-sensitive environments:

• Legal and Compliance: Lawyers can analyze internal memoranda and client files with all analysis private and staying local to their machine
• Intellectual Property: Agency professionals, influencers, creators and executives can organize proprietary brand assets, manuscripts and corporate strategies with zero risk of their data being used to train public models.
• Academic Research: Scientists and researchers can search years of papers, drafts and video lecture materials while keeping unpublished work on their own machine.

The product reflects Synsira’s broader view that AI adoption depends on trust, transparency and practical value. Many people remain cautious about AI because of concerns about errors or bias in internet answers, privacy, data training, security and the environmental demands of large-scale cloud computing. Kind Local Pro addresses those concerns by moving the AI experience closer to the user and keeping private data under local control.

“Not every AI task needs to be sent to a massive data center,” said Schaeffer. “Sometimes the smartest place for AI to work is right where the information already lives: on your own computer. Bigger is not always better. Private, practical and accurate is better.”

Kind Local Pro allows for 10,000 files to be uploaded, up to 500 at a time. It is now available for an initial subscription cost of $79 at Kind.Synsira.com. Local Kind Free allows up to 50 files to be uploaded. Both versions are 1.9GB installed plus 6GBs of AI models installed.

A media kit with logos, headshots and screenshots of Kind Local Pro is available here.

OLSEM Asset Management, Inc. has outlined its custody and user-defined risk framework, including third-party brokerage arrangements, SIPC-related disclosures, configurable exposure limits, and real-time account monitoring for self-directed equities market participants.

United States, 28th Jul 2026 – Financial technology firm OLSEM Asset Management, Inc. today detailed its multi-layered capital protection framework and user-defined risk governance architecture, reinforcing platform security standards for global investors trading U.S. equities. Operating from Irvine, California, the company has structured its trading environment around independent third-party asset custody, clear operational role boundaries, and automated risk parameters. The initiative responds to increasing demand among modern market participants for transparent financial technology infrastructure that combines real-time exposure oversight, established clearing standards, and user control over account settings.

Navigating Structural Risk in Modern Digital Trading Environments

As digital participation in global capital markets expands, market participants face a complex combination of operational, technological, and market-driven risks. High volatility, unexpected liquidity events, and rapid price movements require trading platforms to maintain infrastructure standards that support system integrity while providing users with risk-control tools.

In contemporary electronic trading, platform security extends beyond standard digital cybersecurity measures such as data encryption and network firewalls. From an operational perspective, asset governance also requires real-time exposure monitoring, defined order-execution protocols, and clear organizational boundaries separating technology provision from asset custody.

The custody and risk-control framework described by OLSEM Asset Management, Inc. addresses these priorities by combining technical infrastructure with independent institutional custody arrangements. According to the company, this structure is intended to provide users with greater visibility into how capital is held, how strategy instructions are activated, and which institutions are responsible for custody, clearing, and settlement.

Independent Asset Custody Architecture and Clearing Broker Infrastructure

A foundational pillar of the OLSEM framework is the operational separation of assets held in user brokerage accounts from the company’s operating funds. Under this architecture, OLSEM provides technology, investment strategy tools, portfolio-support functionality, and account-monitoring interfaces. It does not act as the direct broker-dealer or custodian for brokerage accounts connected to the platform.

Where a user maintains an account with an independent financial institution or licensed broker-dealer, that institution is responsible for holding, clearing, and settling the assets in accordance with its own account agreements and applicable regulatory obligations.

OLSEM does not directly hold or commingle assets maintained in those third-party brokerage accounts and does not independently process withdrawals from accounts held by external custodians. The specific broker-dealer or custodian applicable to an individual account is identified through the relevant account-opening, brokerage, and custody documentation.

The availability of a particular custodian, broker-dealer, clearing arrangement, or account feature may vary according to the user’s jurisdiction, account type, selected service, and applicable agreements. Where client accounts are maintained at broker-dealers regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and holding membership in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or SIPC, the accounts may be subject to the protections and limitations applicable to those institutions.

By relying on independent third-party institutions for transaction clearing, cash settlement, securities custody, and trade confirmation, the operating structure separates OLSEM‘s platform functions from the custody responsibilities of the institution holding the account.

SIPC Investor Protection and Supplemental Excess Coverage Mechanisms

Within the framework of U.S. equities trading, protection provided through the broker-dealer holding a customer account can play a role in addressing the risk of broker-dealer insolvency.

Eligible customer accounts maintained at SIPC-member broker-dealers may receive SIPC protection in accordance with applicable statutory limits and SIPC rules. Standard SIPC protection is generally limited to up to $500,000 per customer, including a limit of up to $250,000 for cash held for the purchase of securities.

The amount and application of protection depend on factors including account ownership, account capacity, the status of the broker-dealer, and the nature of the customer claim. 

SIPC protection is associated with the applicable SIPC-member broker-dealer and is not provided directly by OLSEM. It is intended to address certain situations in which cash or securities are missing following the financial failure of a SIPC-member broker-dealer.

SIPC protection does not cover losses resulting from market movements, declining security values, investment decisions, strategy performance, or unsuitable investments. Some broker-dealers may separately maintain supplemental insurance arrangements commonly referred to as Excess SIPC coverage.

These arrangements may provide protection above standard SIPC limits, subject to insurer terms, exclusions, per-customer limits, aggregate policy limits, and other conditions. Any supplemental coverage is independently procured and maintained by the applicable broker-dealer or custodian. It is not issued, underwritten, or guaranteed by OLSEM.

Because coverage arrangements vary between institutions and may change, users should review the current protection disclosures provided by the broker-dealer that actually holds their account.

User-Defined Risk Controls and Automated Exposure Parameters

Complementing institutional custody safeguards is OLSEM’s suite of User-Defined Risk Controls integrated directly into the trading interface. Recognizing that risk tolerance varies significantly across individual and institutional profiles, the platform provides automated tools that allow users to establish pre-execution risk parameters.

Key elements of the risk control infrastructure include:

• Stop-Loss and Target Thresholds: Users can pre-configure mandatory exit parameters for individual positions or copied strategy allocations, ensuring automated trade closure when market prices reach specified levels.
• Maximum Drawdown Limits: Account holders can establish maximum acceptable portfolio drawdown percentages. If portfolio equity declines to the user-defined threshold, the platform automatically halts strategy synchronization and prevents further order execution.
• Capital Allocation Capping: When utilizing automated strategy copying, investors set maximum exposure limits per strategy model, preventing over-concentration of capital in any single market approach or sector.
• Real-Time Exposure Dashboards: The unified interface displays continuous metrics regarding open exposure, leverage utilization, asset concentration, and real-time margin requirements.

These automated parameters function as system-level safeguards designed to enforce discipline and prevent catastrophic capital depletion during periods of extreme market turbulence.

Non-Discretionary Asset Governance and Strict Operational Boundaries

Central to OLSEM’s security philosophy is a clear operational boundary governing platform authority and user assets. For the platform functions described in this release, OLSEM states that strategy activation and trade synchronization operate on a user-directed, non-discretionary basis.

Under this structure, the platform does not independently initiate a strategy without user authorization or exercise unilateral withdrawal authority over assets held in a third-party brokerage account. Key governance principles include:

1. User Retention of Capital Control: Account holders maintain direct ownership and final authority over their capital balances, account funding, and withdrawal activities.
2. Independent Strategy Activation: Copy trading functions and automated strategy execution operate solely upon explicit user initiation, configuration, and parameter authorization.
3. Absence of Individualized Financial Advice: Strategy marketplace options, signal inputs, and analytical tools are provided as standardized informational and technological resources, rather than personalized financial recommendations.
4. Strategy Disconnection Protocols: Users retain the technical ability to disconnect automated copy execution, close active orders, or alter risk settings at any time without administrative restrictions.

This separation between platform tools, third-party custody, and user authorization is intended to help account holders understand the respective responsibilities of OLSEM and the financial institution holding their assets.

Corporate Governance, Regulatory Visibility, and Real-Time Infrastructure Monitoring

Operational transparency forms another essential pillar of platform reliability. OLSEM Asset Management, Inc. maintains administrative and corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, providing a verified physical operational base for its technology development, risk oversight, and system monitoring teams.

To maintain public transparency regarding its corporate filing status, the company maintains documentation filed with regulatory information systems. Relevant corporate entity records are queryable via the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) database under CRD number 339947 (SEC File Number 802-135113, Exemption Reporting Adviser report status).

Exempt reporting adviser status is a regulatory reporting classification. It should not be interpreted as SEC approval, certification, endorsement, or confirmation of the performance of OLSEM‘s products or strategies.

The company maintains platform terms of use, privacy standards, business-continuity procedures, and risk disclosures intended to explain relevant operating practices, platform usage rules, and user responsibilities. Through continued development of system monitoring, third-party custody connectivity, and user-configurable controls, OLSEM aims to provide a transparent and structured technology environment for users accessing U.S. equity markets.

Omni One Integrated into Counter-UAS Personnel Trainer for U.S. Marine Corps Evaluation at Quantico, Virginia

Counter-Drone Training Is Becoming One of the Fastest Growing Priorities of Western Militaries

Latest Defense Milestone Builds on Virtuix’s Growing Adoption Across All Major Branches of the U.S. Military

Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of AI-driven, full-body simulation systems, today announced that its Omni One movement platform has been integrated into LeadTech’s next-generation Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Personnel Trainer, an AI-enabled counter-drone simulation platform designed to prepare warfighters to detect and defeat hostile drones through realistic marksmanship training with full-body movement.

Virtuix and LeadTech will install the simulation system at the Training and Education Command (TECOM) of the United States Marine Corps at Quantico, Virginia, where teams from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton will evaluate the platform for future training applications. Watch a demo video of the system here: https://youtu.be/DXHdwFoUC-Q.

The counter-drone simulation builds on Virtuix’s accelerating momentum across the defense sector with all four major branches of the U.S. military. Recent milestones include Virtuix’s assignment as the lead integrator for a U.S. Marine Corps virtual fireteam trainer, an Air Force SBIR Phase I award, a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, deployments to the U.S. Army and Air National Guard, integration into advanced Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) training, and ongoing collaborations supporting military mission planning and simulation.

Virtuix was also recently recognized with a second consecutive AWE Auggie Award for Best Interaction Product, underscoring the industry’s recognition of Omni One as the leading movement platform for immersive full-body interaction across defense, robotics, and enterprise applications.

“The rapid proliferation of drones has fundamentally changed the battlefield, creating an urgent need for realistic and scalable counter-UAS training,” said Jan Goetgeluk, Founder and CEO of Virtuix. “Our AI-driven Omni One platform enables warfighters to move naturally through complex virtual environments while maintaining full situational awareness, creating a level of immersion that is difficult to achieve with stationary virtual training systems. This collaboration with LeadTech is another example of the strong momentum Virtuix is building across the defense sector, where our technology is being adopted for increasingly sophisticated military training applications.”

Counter-UAS capabilities have become a critical priority for militaries seeking to protect personnel and critical infrastructure from evolving aerial threats. As drones continue to advance in capability and affordability, military organizations are placing greater emphasis on immersive simulation that enables warfighters to train repeatedly in highly realistic operational environments before entering costly live-fire exercises.

The C-UAS simulator recreates real-world military training ranges as highly accurate digital twins, allowing warfighters to train in virtual environments that closely mirror the locations where they will later conduct live-fire exercises. Initial environments include the Marine Corps’ Little Baghdad urban training complex at Twentynine Palms, with additional virtual ranges planned for Quantico, Fort Benning, and other training locations. By faithfully reproducing terrain, buildings, and engagement scenarios, the platform is designed to maximize the transfer of skills from virtual training to live operations.

Using Omni One, trainees are able to move naturally through these environments without the constraints of traditional virtual training systems. During exercises, users move from building to building, navigate streets and corners, communicate over simulated tactical radios, and engage hostile first-person-view (FPV) drones using realistic ballistics, environmental effects, and tactical decision-making. The system supports both individual and multi-user training, enabling squads to rehearse coordinated counter-drone operations before deploying to live ranges.

“Counter-drone engagements are inherently movement-intensive,” said Chip Northrup, Chief Executive Officer of LeadTech. “Warfighters don’t fight while standing in one place. They move through buildings, around corners, communicate with teammates, and continuously reposition while tracking fast-moving aerial threats. We teach correct angular lead on aerial targets, but we emphasize the need for the team to conceal its position and take cover proactively. Integrating Omni One into our C-UAS Personnel Trainer allows trainees to practice these movements naturally, creating a far more realistic and effective training experience than conventional virtual reality systems.”

Virtuix believes natural movement will become an increasingly important component of next-generation military simulation as armed forces seek to improve training realism while reducing cost, expanding access, and accelerating warfighter readiness. By combining unrestricted full-body locomotion with AI-driven, immersive environment simulation, Omni One enables military personnel to train the way they fight, moving naturally through the environments where future missions will take place.
