Capabilities

Everything an agent needs, in one install

Chat, tools, skills, MCP, and RAG -- composed into a single runtime you control.

Localhost-first runtime

A full AI agent server in one pip install. Your chats, files, and keys stay on your machine -- no mandatory cloud.

Bring your own models

Azure OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude), with mid-conversation multi-model switching and per-message reasoning effort.

Rich, readable chat

Streaming replies with Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, and collapsible reasoning.

Tools & Skills

Coding, weather, and image tools as native functions, plus portable file-based Skills loaded on demand -- with approval gating.

MCP & MCP Apps

Connect external tools over the Model Context Protocol, and render interactive UIs inside sandboxed iframes.

RAG over your docs

Ingest PDFs into a local ChromaDB vector store and let the agent answer with grounded, cited sources.

Voice & multimodal

Speak with Whisper transcription, hear replies with text-to-speech, and analyze images via drag-and-drop or URL.

Generate & edit images

Create and edit images inline with a Canvas mask editor -- powered by Azure OpenAI image models.

Identity & memory

A global agent identity and a durable user-preference memory -- the foundation of a built-in learning loop.

See it in action

A chat that renders everything

The same rendering quality that powers these docs powers the product.
