Aura.
Your padi.

Aura is the AI assistant inside the Afrilingua app. One mind across every device you own, with one memory of you. The voice and personality is named Padi — West African Pidgin for friend.

One AI. Every surface.

The Aura on your phone is the same Aura on your laptop, in your browser, inside your code editor, at your front door. Same identity. Same memory. Same answers — wherever you ask.

Safety on by default.

Frequently asked

What's the difference between Aura, Afrilingua and Padi?

Afrilingua is the app. Aura is the AI assistant inside the app. Padi is the persona and wake-word for Aura. Same entity at three layers — never collapsed.

Which LLMs can Aura use?

Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Google Gemini. Bring-your-own-key — you provide the key for the model family you trust most, and features are not gated by provider.

Where does Aura run?

iOS, Android, the web, macOS, Windows, Linux, Chrome and Edge (via the Aura Companion extension), Visual Studio Code (as the @aura chat participant), and a hosted browser-based sandbox called Aura Code.

Does Aura act without asking?

No. Every write — sending an email, posting, paying, scheduling — passes through a confirmation gate before it runs.

What does "padi" mean?

West African Pidgin for friend or buddy. The voice and persona of Aura is named Padi to carry that warmth into every interaction.

Is my data sold or used to train models?

No. Personal data is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used to train foundation models without your explicit, separate consent. See the privacy policy for the full picture.
