Local AI Chat
Run supported open-weight language models locally while conversation history stays in the local SQLite workspace.
Local-workspace awareProduct capabilities
A complete local AI workspace.
OpenMindAI is designed as a desktop product, not a thin browser wrapper around a remote API.
Desktop workstation capabilities
More than a chat window.
OpenMindAI combines local inference, project work, model lifecycle controls and system tools in one native desktop application.
Model Management
Download, verify, recommend, select and remove local models with explicit control over large model files.
Local-workspace awareAutomatic Model Routing
Route requests internally to appropriate local capabilities for chat, code, files and specialized workloads.
Local-workspace awareProjects & Project Agent
Open local folders as projects, inspect and edit scoped files, validate changes and inspect Git state within permission boundaries.
Local-workspace awareTools & Maintenance
Keep models, files, diagnostics, backup, repair and local-library workflows inside one desktop workstation.
Local-workspace awareMedia Entry Points
Local image, video and voice entry points report missing dependencies instead of silently falling back to a paid cloud API.
Local-workspace awareConnected Apps
Use connected services naturally from Chat or Project Work while connection setup stays in Settings → Apps.
Local-workspace awarePortable Storage
Place models, runtimes, databases, cache, logs, generated files and backups on storage you control.
Local-workspace aware Offline boundary
Local by default after setup.
Normal local inference, history, settings, installed model/runtime management, projects, diagnostics and local backup workflows are designed to continue offline.

Network when needed
Downloads stay explicit.
Initial bootstrap, runtime/model downloads and release checks require a network. OpenMindAI does not treat temporary GitHub unavailability as a reason to disable an already-installed local workspace.
Connected apps
Ask for the outcome, not the API action.
Connections live in Settings → Apps. Chat and Project Work remain the interaction surfaces, while credentials stay out of chat history.
