Coot AI

Coot AI is a private, local-first AI app that runs on hardware you own, designed for individuals and teams to work with their own data across documents, email, calendar and more. It emphasizes that data remains under the user’s control and that the app is free to download and use on local devices such as macOS.

Coot AI operates by running models and runtimes on hardware controlled by the user, with optional cloud model usage. It allows connecting tools like Gmail, Drive, Slack, and calendar services, enabling workflows and automations that stay private. The architecture centralizes data locally, with built-in components for indexing, memory, agents, and dashboards, all accessible from a single install.

Coot AI provides dashboards that aggregate data from connected tools into a shareable view, and it includes agents capable of planning, acting, and finishing multi-step jobs using your data and tools. It supports workflows, a model hub with local models, and memory to persist context, all designed to operate without uploading data to external clouds.

The product supports deployment on hardware you own, with options to scale to servers or private clouds you control. It emphasizes that data can remain in-house, with cloud models available optionally, and indicates ongoing development for Windows, shared team workflows, and other platforms. It highlights free access to download and use the local app, with broader platform support planned.
