Full feature list
Everything your business needs, in one private workspace
Four groups of features, all running on your own machine by default. No hidden background calls, no feature that reaches the internet unless you turn it on.
Chat, AI Roles, and a prompt library
The everyday tools for getting work done with local AI, without losing your best prompts.
Chat
Talk to your local models
Chat with local AI models directly on your machine, with streaming replies and model switching, without sending your conversation anywhere by default.
AI Roles
Reusable roles, not agents
Switch into a role such as researcher, writer, planner, or coder in one click. Each role is a ready-made persona and prompt setup you choose to use, not an autonomous agent acting on its own.
Prompt Library
Keep your best prompts
Save, organize, and version the prompts that work, so you reuse them across chats and projects instead of retyping them every time.
Projects, chats, and workspace instructions
Keep related work together instead of scattered across a dozen open tabs.
Projects
One place per job
Group related chats, prompts, research, and knowledge together, so work for one client or task stays organized in a single project.
Chats
Searchable history
Every conversation is saved and searchable. Rename, export, or revisit any chat whenever you need it again.
Workspace Instructions
Standing guidance
Set instructions once for a project and they apply automatically to the normal chats inside it, so you do not repeat context every time.
Optional web search, deep research, and knowledge
Local by default. Reach further only when you choose to.
Optional Web Search
Off until you enable it
Turn on a search provider when you want the AI to pull in current information from the web. It stays off until you enable it, so nothing leaves your machine by accident.
Deep Research
Evidence-grounded reports
A multi-step research mode that gathers sources, checks them against each other, and returns a report with citations you can verify. Included with Pro.
Knowledge base
Your files, your reference
Add your own files and links to a private knowledge base the AI can draw from while answering, kept local to your machine.
Image generation and local models
Run open models on your own hardware, and add cloud tools only if you want to.
Image Generation
Local, private images
Generate images locally with a compatible image-model setup. Free includes up to 5 images a day, Pro removes the limit.
Local Models
Nothing leaves the machine
Run open local models on your own computer. A local chat or image job does not need to leave your device to work.
Optional Cloud Tools
You decide what connects
Connect a cloud model or web tool when you want extra reach. These stay off until you turn them on, so you control what, if anything, leaves your machine.
