Press & Media — 2026
One developer. One vision. The first Australian AI platform that processes your data on Australian soil — competing directly with OpenAI, Google, and xAI.
Right now, every time an Australian business uses ChatGPT or Gemini, their most sensitive data leaves this country. Client lists. Financial projections. Legal strategies. All of it flowing through American servers under American law.
Nobody in Australia was building the alternative.
So Jake Opperman did. Alone. Against four of the most capitalised companies in human history.
Oppermind is Australia's first sovereign AI platform — a complete AI operating system with 37+ integrated tools, governed by Australian law. Not Silicon Valley's terms of service.
This is not a startup story. It's a declaration.
Oppermind is not a chatbot. It is a complete AI operating system — a unified platform that replaces the fragmented stack of tools businesses pay for separately. Every capability below is built-in, integrated, and governed by Australian law.
Jake Opperman is a software developer with over 17 years of experience across AI systems, cybersecurity, web architecture, and software engineering. He founded Oppermind Pty Ltd after identifying a gap no one else was filling: an Australian-built AI platform that kept data on Australian soil, under Australian law.
Building against OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, and Meta — each with tens of thousands of employees and billions in capital — Opperman's approach is deliberately contrarian. Every product in the Oppermind suite was designed, architected, and built by a single developer.
His technical work spans multi-agent AI systems with critic/operator/mentor frameworks, autonomous desktop agents with computer vision, real-time web intelligence architectures, and full-stack development across AI and cybersecurity domains.
He is based in Australia. He does not use a PR firm. He is available for interview, product demonstration, podcast recording, and technical briefing. He speaks plainly and has a story worth telling.
