Own your intelligence: a private AI assistant that runs entirely on your machine
Drop files, notes or sites into a workspace and every document becomes part of the agent's knowledge base without leaving your device.
Records, transcribes and summarizes any meeting locally, delivering action items, key decisions and full transcripts when the call ends.
Run bundled local models or connect cloud and API providers, and switch between them per workspace or take advantage of dynamic model selection.
Schedule recurring work and define custom agent skills so routine tasks run themselves.
The fast, private desktop chatbot for every major LLM
Works with GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama and other providers in a single desktop client, so you are not locked into one ecosystem.
Chat history, attachments and settings all stay on your hard drive and never leave your device, apart from the requests sent to your model provider.
Chat with PDFs, images, audio and text files, and render HTML, React components, charts and documents as live artifacts.
Connect Notion, Google Sheets, browsers and other tools through MCP so the AI can actually take actions rather than only answer questions.
