What is Oyster?
Section titled “What is Oyster?”Oyster is a cybersecurity AI assistant made by Red Orca. It answers security engineering questions — how attacks work and how to detect and prevent them — and, with a free account, adds questions over your own files, Red Team planning inside a declared scope, the SOC Copilot investigation workbench, Security Intel and Findings. See About Oyster.
Is Oyster free?
Section titled “Is Oyster free?”Yes. Without an account you get one message a day. A free Red Orca account removes the daily message limit and opens the full workspace. Openweight editions that run on your own hardware are listed in the app but are not on sale yet.
Where is it?
Section titled “Where is it?”At redorca.ai. It moved there from redorca.tech/oyster on 30 October 2026; see Moving from redorca.tech.
Are my conversations used for training?
Section titled “Are my conversations used for training?”Anonymous conversations are never stored on our servers and never used for training. Conversations in a free account are stored in that account and used to improve Oyster’s AI — that is the condition of the free account. Withdrawing in Settings stops it and also ends chat access. See Data and privacy.
Can Oyster attack or scan a system?
Section titled “Can Oyster attack or scan a system?”No. For every account, Oyster explains and plans; it does not scan, probe or run tools. Red Team plans are only written for targets inside the scope you declare, and you are responsible for having authorization to test them. See Safety and approvals.
What can I upload?
Section titled “What can I upload?”Documents (PDF, Word, text and code), folders, images and video, plus notes you type. With a free account: up to 20 uploads a day, 50 MB per document and 500 MB in total, in a private workspace only you can see. Answers about your files cite the passages they used. See Upload and organise files.
Does Oyster send my data to another AI company?
Section titled “Does Oyster send my data to another AI company?”No. Oyster’s models run on infrastructure Red Orca operates in the EU, and your conversations are not sent to a third-party AI provider.
Why is the answer slow?
Section titled “Why is the answer slow?”Oyster runs on Red Orca’s own hardware, and each account gets one answer at a time. Larger models and higher depths take longer. When many people are asking, you get a place in line.
Can I use it on my phone?
Section titled “Can I use it on my phone?”Yes, in the browser, or installed to your home screen. See Install Oyster as an app.
Do I need a new account for Oyster?
Section titled “Do I need a new account for Oyster?”No. One Red Orca account signs you in to Oyster, Dolphin and Shark. Sign in once on redorca.ai even if you are already signed in on redorca.tech.
How is Oyster related to Dolphin and Shark?
Section titled “How is Oyster related to Dolphin and Shark?”They are Red Orca’s three agents and share one account and one sign-in. Dolphin makes outbound sales calls and sends email, Shark keeps a team’s organizational memory, and Oyster helps with security work.
How do I delete my data?
Section titled “How do I delete my data?”In Settings: delete single conversations and files, Delete my memories, or Delete my account to erase everything. See Data and privacy.
