What is Dina personal AI?

Dina's an open-source AI companion from a 2017 novel, now real: sovereign identity, encrypted data vaults, risk-gates task agents. Runs locally, talks to other Dinas.

Does Dina protect against AI data leaks?

Yes—crypto-signed actions, vault isolation, user approval for high-risk moves like emails or data shares. Hard gates, not just prompts.

How do I install Dina AI ?

Grab the repo (implied open source), Go core + Python brain. Self-host on your machine with mnemonic seed for keys. Wrapping up? Nah, just saying: try it before agents eat your privacy whole.
