Jan AI brings conversational language models to a Windows desktop application. It suits people who want help drafting text, condensing documents, exploring ideas, or working through programming questions. You can hold ongoing chats with a model stored on your computer, making it practical for tasks that do not require a network connection after the model has been downloaded.

Downloaded models let you chat on your PC without an internet connection.

Choose a model in the app, download it, and begin chatting. Model options let you change which one answers a chat, while assistant profiles support different kinds of work. The program can also connect to remote AI services and provide a local API for compatible software. Larger models need more memory and processing resources, so your hardware affects what you can run.

Features:

  • Downloads language models within the app
  • Runs downloaded models without internet access
  • Switches between available models for chats
  • Creates assistants for different tasks
  • Connects to external AI providers
  • Provides a local API for supported software
