- - -{entry.data.description}
- - {entry.data.version && ( - New release Jan App v{entry.data.version} - )} -- Jan is an open source ChatGPT-alternative that runs 100% offline. -
- --Jan is moving from a local AI application to a complete full-stack AI solution that you can self-host. This includes models, -applications, and tools that delights users and help them solve their problems. -
- -## What We're Building - -**Jan Factory (or Agent)** = Jan Models + Jan Application + Jan Tools - -Unlike other AI assistants that do specific tasks with one model or have many models with a myriad of solutions, Jan provides: -- Its own specialised models that are optimised at specific tasks like web-search, creative writing, and translation -- Applications that work across all of your devices in an integrated way -- Tools that actually get things done - -## Two Modes, One Experience - -### Local (Incognito) Mode - -Run AI models entirely on your device, giving you complete privacy with no internet required. - - - -### Cloud Mode - -Connect to more powerful models when needed - either self-hosted or via jan.ai. - - - -Users shouldn't need to understand models, APIs, or technical details.

Add cloud capabilities only when you choose to. - -### 3) Solve Problems, Not Settings - -We help users get to answers quickly answers, not configuration options. Power users can dig deeper, but it's never required. - -## Available on Every Device - -### Jan Desktop - -This is how Jan started and it has been available since day 1. Jan Desktop stives to be: - -> Your personal AI workstation that helps with our use cases and powers other devices.
