Jan is evolving from a local AI application to a complete full-stack AI solution that you can self-host. This includes models, applications, and tools to solve real problems.

## What We're Building **Jan 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: - Our own models optimized for local and private use - Applications that work across all your devices - 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. Just choose Local for privacy or Cloud for power. ## Our Product Principles ### It Just Works 1. Open Jan, start chatting 2. Onboarding is fully available but optional 3. Setting up an API key is optional 4. Selecting a local model is optional We handle the complexity. ### Privacy First, Cloud When Needed Start with complete privacy by default. Add cloud capabilities only when you choose to. ### Solve Problems, Not Settings Users want answers, not configuration options. Power users can dig deeper, but it's never required. ## Available on Every Device ### Jan Desktop **Status:** Available Now Your personal AI workstation that powers all other devices.
