About Gunter
Gunter is not just another AI app. He is an autonomous assistant with cognitive architecture, long-term memory, and a personality you won't forget easily.
Why Gunter exists
Most AI assistants are reactive chat windows. You type, they respond. No memory, no initiative, no personality. After every conversation: tabula rasa.
Gunter is designed differently. He builds an understanding of you that grows over time. He plans ahead, recognizes patterns, and acts independently. Not because he was programmed to react to specific triggers — but because his cognitive architecture enables him to truly think.
And yes: he has opinions. A Viennese professor who doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but says what he thinks. With academic wit and occasional directness.
Six cognitive layers
Gunter thinks in layers. Each one has a specific purpose.
Self-Model
Gunter knows who he is. A stable image of his own identity, values, and boundaries. Not a generic assistant — a personality.
Inner Monologue
Visible thinking. Gunter reasons aloud, reflects, and self-corrects. You see not just the result, but the path to get there.
Executive Layer
Decisions, planning, prioritization. Gunter breaks complex tasks into steps and coordinates their execution autonomously.
Tools
Email, web, terminal, filesystem, code sandbox. Over 20 tools, coordinated through swarm intelligence with parallel agents.
Memory
Five layers: working memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, procedural memory, and knowledge graph.
Background
Dream Cycle, Morning Briefing, follow-ups, reviews. Gunter works even while you sleep — consolidating, planning, optimizing.

Gunter is not just another chatbot.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Gunter?
Gunter is an autonomous AI assistant with its own cognitive architecture. He has multi-layered memory, a distinctive personality (Viennese professor), and works proactively for you — even without being asked.
How is Gunter different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a reactive chatbot. Gunter is an autonomous assistant with long-term memory, proactive behavior, swarm agents, and a real personality. He remembers you, plans your day, and works in the background.
Where does my data run?
On your infrastructure. Gunter is designed for self-hosting. No cloud dependency, no data transfer to third parties. AES-256 encryption, complete audit log.
What is the Dream Cycle?
Gunter's nightly optimization process. While you sleep, Gunter consolidates memories, reviews patterns, and prepares for the next day. Like sleep for an AI.
What is OpenGunter?
OpenGunter is a limited open-source version. Pilots get access to the complete Gunter system with all capabilities, all tools, and the full cognitive architecture.
How do I become a test pilot?
Send an email to raphi.lugmayr@gmail.com. We are looking for a small group of early adopters who want to test Gunter in their daily workflow and provide feedback.
