Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
AI sidebar and browser agent for reading, writing and research
A persistent panel that reads the page you are on and answers follow-ups with GPT, Claude or Gemini without copying content into another tab.
Summarise long articles, PDFs and YouTube videos, extract key points, and ask detailed questions about the source material.
Translate webpages, PDFs and images, compare bilingual output side by side, and have content read aloud for review on the move.
Delegate multi-step tasks across real websites — price comparison, form filling, research and inbox triage — using your existing logged-in sessions.
