Open data infrastructure where people own and authorize the data behind AI
People collect data from services they already use through open-source connectors, and that data stays on their own device or encrypted storage they control.
A locally running access engine encrypts data and releases it only against a valid on-chain permission, with every read written to a reviewable access log.
Install @opendatalabs/vana-sdk to request user-approved data, read it from a Personal Server, and settle protocol fees from an app escrow balance.
Groups pool data for privacy-preserving compute jobs, so contributions can be used by AI without exposing raw records.

Automate work across thousands of apps — no code required
Connect thousands of apps with a visual editor, using both point-and-click logic and natural language to define each step.
Connect AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to your apps so they can read data and take real action.
Create AI assistants that answer questions and complete multi-step tasks across your connected systems.
Store structured data your workflows can read and update, keeping records in sync across tools.
