What it does
Multi Model AI Chat
Access 36+ open source models including Qwen 3, DeepSeek R1, DeepSeek V3, Llama 4, Mistral, Kimi K2, MiniMax, and GLM. Switch between models mid conversation without losing context, so you can ask the same question to different models and compare answers.
Learn moreEnd to End Encryption
Every conversation is encrypted on your device before being sent to Okara's servers. Client side key generation, zero access encryption at rest, and all models self hosted on Okara's infrastructure (not routed to third party APIs). Your data is never used for training.
Learn moreUnified Memory
Context carries across different models and conversations. When you switch from Qwen to DeepSeek mid conversation, the new model picks up where the previous one left off.
Integrated Search Tools
Search the web, Reddit, X/Twitter, and YouTube directly from the chat. Results come back as cited summaries woven into the conversation, so you get sourced answers without leaving the chat interface.
Learn moreAI Image Generation
Generate images from text prompts using Stable Diffusion 3.5, Flux 2 Dev, and Qwen Image models. Available directly inside the chat.
Projects
Upload files (PDF, DOCX, CSV, XLSX, JSON, images), set custom instructions, and maintain context across multiple conversations. Useful for ongoing work where you want the AI to remember your documents and preferences.
AI Agents
Specialized agents that work autonomously. The SEO Agent runs site audits and tracks AI visibility. The Reddit Agent monitors keywords and generates comment suggestions. The AI CMO agent provides strategic marketing guidance and campaign planning.
Learn moreTeam Workspaces
Share chat threads, memory, and uploaded files with your team. Manage team members and collaborate on projects with a shared AI context.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Access to 36+ AI models in one place for one price, eliminating the need for multiple separate subscriptions
- End to end encryption on every conversation; Okara cannot read your messages, making it suitable for sensitive professional use
- Mid conversation model switching with unified memory, so you can compare answers from different models without starting over
- Integrated search across Web, Reddit, X, and YouTube with cited summaries, all within the chat interface
- All models are self hosted on Okara's servers, not routed through third party APIs, which gives them more control over privacy and uptime
- Team workspaces with shared memory and file uploads make it practical for collaborative professional use
Cons
- The free tier is very limited at just 5 credits (~50 messages), barely enough to evaluate the platform before committing to a paid plan
- All models are open source alternatives; you do not get access to proprietary models like GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.6, or Gemini, which are often ahead on certain tasks
- Credit based pricing can be hard to predict; a "credit" maps roughly to 10 messages, but actual usage varies by model and message length
- Relatively new platform (launched December 2025), so the product is still maturing and the long term track record is unproven
- The AI Agents (SEO, Reddit, AI CMO) are only available on the Max plan at $50/month, which is expensive for users who mainly want chat
- No voice mode, no video generation, and no native mobile app (web based only as of early 2026)
How to get started
Create your free account
Go to app.okara.ai and sign up for a free account. You get 5 credits (~50 messages) to try the platform without a credit card.
Choose a model and start chatting
Select any model from the model picker (try Qwen 3 or DeepSeek R1 as starting points). Type your question and send. Try switching models mid conversation to see how different models handle the same question.
Try search and image generation
Use the integrated search to ask questions that need current information. Results pull from Web, Reddit, X, and YouTube with citations. Try an image generation prompt using Stable Diffusion 3.5 or Flux 2 Dev.
Set up a Project for ongoing work
Create a Project, upload your documents (PDF, DOCX, CSV, XLSX), and set custom instructions. The AI will reference your files across multiple conversations, making it useful for research, writing, or analysis that spans multiple sessions.
