Your AI. Your hardware. Nobody else's business.

AX is an open-source replacement for cloud chatbots. It ships with curated open-weight foundation models and an application ecosystem, and every token is generated on your own machine. Nothing you type ever leaves the room.

Open source. Apache-2.0. Offline by default. No account, no telemetry, no exceptions.

Everything a cloud chatbot does. Nothing it takes.

Runs entirely on your hardware

AX detects your GPU, CPU, and memory, then picks quantizations that actually fit. Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or plain CPU. Pull the network cable out mid-conversation and nothing changes.

Foundation models built in

A curated library of open-weight models, one click to download, swap mid-chat. Chat, reasoning, code, vision, and speech. Bring any GGUF you like.

An ecosystem, not an app

Agents, tools, and extensions run against a local OpenAI-compatible API. Anything that speaks that dialect can plug straight into AX.

What ships in the box.

Chat that stays home

Full conversation history, files, and search stored in plain local files you can read, back up, and delete. Your history is a folder, not a subpoena target.

Local API server

One toggle exposes your models on localhost as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Point your editor, scripts, and agents at it and cancel the metered key.

Agents and tools

Give models hands: file access, shell, web fetch, and custom tools, each behind an explicit permission you grant per workspace. Agents run on a schedule or on demand.

Extensions

An open extension format for connecting AX to the rest of your machine. Write one with a manifest and a few hundred lines; ship it without asking us.

Every build is reproducible from source. When the public release lands, binaries and the full repository publish together; see the changelog for where the release train currently is.

The fine print, in plain sight.
