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.
Open-source, plugin-rich chat interface for every major AI model
Talk to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Groq and local Ollama models from one interface, switching providers within a single conversation.
Discover, clone and share agents with predefined prompts, tools and knowledge, so you are not building every workflow from scratch.
Upload documents and files so answers are grounded in your own content rather than the model's general memory.
Extend assistants with web search, image generation and API calls, and render generated code or documents in a live canvas.
