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.
Every AI conversation, one open-source workspace
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, Groq, Ollama, OpenRouter and many more, then switch models inside a single conversation.
Build specialized agents that carry their own files, tools, reusable instructions and delegated subtasks with separate context.
Turn chat output into interactive apps, React or HTML pages and Mermaid diagrams, and execute code in multiple languages in an isolated sandbox.
Connect any tool or service through Model Context Protocol, and give any model live internet access with built-in search and reranking.
