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.

AI work partner that runs tasks on your local files and knowledge
Ground answers in documents stored on your own machine so the assistant works with your material instead of only public web content.
Set a goal and Ncurator plans the steps, then carries them out across files, the web and your knowledge base.
Read and edit DOCX, PDF, XLSX and PPTX files, with Preview and Review modes to check what changed.
Reuses cached input across repeated tasks so much of the prompt can be billed at a provider's discounted cache-hit rate.
