Open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own machine and works from chat apps
Self-hosted by design, so memories, skills, models, and data never leave infrastructure you control.
Operate the assistant from WhatsApp, Telegram, or another client you already use instead of a new dashboard.
The agent performs actions such as organizing inboxes, sending email, managing calendars, and handling check-ins.
Extend capabilities with skills and plugins and keep context that carries across conversations.
Open-source desktop AI that runs models locally on your own machine
Download and run open models such as Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma, and DeepSeek directly on your own machine, with chat data kept on device.
Optionally connect API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, and other providers to route requests to frontier models from the same interface.
Jan exposes a local server endpoint that follows the OpenAI API shape, so existing SDKs and tools can talk to your local models without code changes.
Create assistants with their own system instructions, model selection, and parameters, then reuse them across conversations.
