Intelara

A private AI chat workspace that keeps projects, threads, files, notes, and tools together, with your own OpenRouter key and a spend cap on every project.

The problem

If you use AI for real work, your chats pile up fast. A client project, a side project, and a research thread all end up in one long list, each needing different instructions and a different model. Your files live somewhere else, your notes somewhere else again, and with pay-as-you-go models it’s easy to lose track of what you’re spending.

What I’m building

Intelara is a private AI workspace that keeps all of that together. You sort your work into projects and threads. Each project has its own model, instructions, settings, and spend cap, and any chat can override them, branch off from an earlier message, or keep its own history.

You bring your own OpenRouter key, which is stored encrypted, and get the full range of models, with usage counted against the project’s cap. No key yet? A free tier runs on a shared free model, tuned for English, Urdu, and Arabic.

Your files and notes, right beside the chat

Upload files to a project’s knowledge base, and Intelara finds the right passages while you chat. It searches by meaning and by keyword, and shows exactly which sources it used. Notes sit in the same project, with tags and a link back to the chat they came from.

Tools that do things for you

Intelara connects to tools like GitHub, Linear, Notion, Supabase, Sentry, Stripe, Cloudflare, Upwork, Figma, and Vercel through MCP. You sign in to each one with OAuth, so no API keys get pasted around, and only secure remote servers are allowed. Tools attach to a whole project or a single chat, and can run on their own or ask before each call. Tools you aren’t using are left out, which keeps the model focused.

The everyday details

Replies stream in with proper formatting, maths, code highlighting, and right-to-left text. You can pin messages, search, use a command palette, save prompts to a library, attach files, and take a screenshot of any reply. Every user only ever sees their own projects, chats, notes, and files, and the database itself enforces that.

Where it stands

Intelara is live for testing at chat.intelara.ai. It’s built with Next.js 16, React 19, Supabase, and OpenRouter.
