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.
No-code builder for custom AI agents and workflows
Assemble agents with a drag-and-drop interface, 100+ templates, and optional code extensions when you need more control.
Connect leading models and business services so agents can reason, retrieve data, and take action across your stack.
Ship agents as web apps, browser extensions, webhook endpoints, or scheduled automations for teams and customers.
Add review steps and validation so agents produce reliable output before and after going live.
Free / Open-sourceProvides a lightweight command-line runtime for local LLMs, though it lacks Jan's built-in graphical user interface.
