A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
