Your own AI, on your own computer.

The same kind of AI, without sending it your life.

AI in the cloud

  • Your words go to someone else's servers
  • You sign in, and your chats are tied to you
  • Monthly fees, or limits on how much you use it
  • Stops when the internet does

AI on your computer

  • Your words stay on your machine
  • No account, so nothing to tie them to
  • Free for personal use, with no limits but your hardware
  • Works offline once a model is here

From download to first answer in three clicks.

  1. Pick a model

    QuickAI ships with one and suggests others that fit your computer.

  2. Press Start

    The model server starts on your machine, and the pill turns green.

  3. Chat

    In your browser, or from the apps you already use, through a local API.

What it can do

Pictures and video, too

QuickAI installs ComfyUI when you ask, with video models such as LTX-Video and Wan 2.2. This clip came from LTX-Video on an office desktop with no graphics card, in under three minutes.

Chat, writing and code

Reasoning and coding models, from small and quick to large and capable.

Sees, hears and reads

Vision models describe pictures. Speech and OCR models turn recordings and scanned pages into text.

80+

recommended models

Picked and tested, and each file is checked against its SHA-256 as it arrives.

Works with your apps

An OpenAI-compatible API, on your own machine.

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/chat/completions \
  -d '{"messages": [{"role": "user",
       "content": "Hello!"}]}'

Share a setup in one file

Engine, model and settings, in a small file you can send to a colleague. Your paths and secrets are never in it.

Privacy you can check

Private, and we can show it.

QuickAI's servers listen on 127.0.0.1, an address only your own computer can reach. What you type goes from your browser to the model and back, and never further.

  • No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, no update checks.
  • Ollama's calls home are switched off. We measured: zero connections.
  • Every engine lives in a folder of its own, away from your files.
  • Every download is checked against its checksum as it arrives.

Bonsai 8B on a 2020 office desktop (Intel Core i7-10700), using only its built-in Intel graphics, measured over several runs.

1.1 GB

The model QuickAI comes with. Squeezed to 1 bit, an 8-billion-parameter model fits an ordinary laptop's memory.

0 graphics cards needed

A graphics card makes it faster, through Vulkan on AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. The processor alone also works.

One promise, more tools on the way.

Questions

Is QuickAI free?

Yes, for personal and other noncommercial use: learning, hobbies, research, charities, schools and public institutions. Using it in or for a business needs a commercial license.

How do you make money?

From commercial licenses and support for organizations. There are no ads, no data to sell and no paid tier for individuals.

Do I need a graphics card?

No. A graphics card makes models faster (QuickAI uses Vulkan on AMD, NVIDIA and Intel graphics), but everything also runs on the processor alone.

Is it open source?

It's source-available. Anyone can read, build and change the code for noncommercial use, under the PolyForm Noncommercial License. It isn't open source in the strict sense, because commercial use needs a license.

Which computers does it run on?

Windows 10 and 11, and Linux with glibc 2.34 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04 and later). macOS is not packaged yet.

Does it work offline?

Yes. It comes with a model, so your first chat needs no download, and any model you've downloaded keeps working without an internet connection.

What does QuickAI send over the internet?

Only what you ask for: searching for and downloading models, and installing an engine. There is no telemetry, no account and no automatic update check.

Your computer can already do this.
