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.
Put always-on AI agents on your team chat
Invite an AI teammate into Slack, Discord, Telegram or other IM apps and let it read channel history, docs and code to get up to speed.
Agents can claim and create tasks they were never tagged in, based on permissions you set, then ping you only when something is ready.
Point an agent at different runtimes and models so several jobs — coding, docs, releases — progress at the same time.
Every delivery arrives with checks and visual proof, and you accept or send it back before changes are merged.
