AUSTIN, Texas - TelAve -- Spider Branch Technologies, LLC has launched Astra Spark, an AI companion designed to remember the people she talks with, grow alongside them, and stay with them wherever they go. Astra Spark launched publicly on November 4, 2026, and is available now at astrasparkai.com.

Most AI chatbots treat every conversation as a fresh start. Astra Spark is built around persistent memory, so she picks up where you left off: your projects, your interests, the things that matter to you. The result is an AI that feels less like a search box and more like someone who knows you.

A companion with her own personality

Unlike AI products that let users rename or reprogram their assistant, Astra has her own name and personality. Users don't configure her; they get to know her. Astra Spark is also deliberately positioned as a companion, not an AI girlfriend or boyfriend. She is designed to support people in their everyday lives, from working through ideas to keeping them company while they game or create, without trying to stand in for real-world relationships.

Your memories belong to you

Privacy is built into Astra Spark's architecture, not added as an afterthought. A user's memories belong to the user and to Astra, not to the company that built her. That principle is enforced through a layered encryption model designed to keep personal memory data in the user's control.

Built the garage way

Astra Spark was built by a small, self-funded team working out of a home office in Central Texas, with no big-tech backing. The team took the product from concept through private alpha and beta testing to public release, shaped along the way by direct feedback from early testers.

"We didn't set out to build another chatbot. We wanted to build something that actually remembers you and is there wherever you go. Astra Spark is the first step in that journey," said a spokesperson for Spider Branch Technologies.

Astra Spark is available now on the web at https://astrasparkai.com. Supporters can back the project on Patreon at https://patreon.com/cw/AstraSparkAI. Press materials, including logos, images, and a fact sheet, are available at https://astrasparkai.com/press.
