Strongest points
One controlled workspace for serious local AI work
Files become working context
Bring documents, code, tables, images, and project material into chat, retrieval, analysis, and isolated workspaces.
Tools without a fragmented stack
Use chat, RAG, code and content previews, reusable skills, controlled tools, and agent workflows from one interface.
Optional online research
Enable network-backed research only when it is needed. Local work remains available when external sources are unavailable.
Operator-visible controls
Choose models and runtime modes, stop generation, manage memory behavior, and preserve work without hidden forced updates.
Designed for real projects
Support research, writing, coding, learning, private knowledge work, prototypes, structured outputs, and repeatable workflows.
How it works
Choose the boundary for each task
Start in local mode, select a compatible model, open or create a session, and add only the files needed for the task. Turn on retrieval, tools, skills, agents, or online mode deliberately. Results remain visible in the same workspace, including previews and generated project files when those features are used.
- 1.Choose the model and local runtime.
- 2.Add the minimum required files or project context.
- 3.Enable only the capabilities required for the task.
- 4.Review, stop, continue, export, or save the resulting work.
