Alpha · Local-first AI coworkers

YOUR CREW OF AI COWORKERS, ON YOUR MACHINE

Message a crew of specialist bots that run on your own computer, use your model, and never act without your approval. They research, write, crunch data, and automate the routine — and nothing leaves the machine.

What makes it different

Three things it does best.

Cloud agents ask you to trust a stranger's computer with your work. Klexbots runs where your files already are.

01

Message a crew

10+ specialist bots you talk to like contacts. Each keeps its own workspace and memory, and hands work to the others when a job crosses a line it doesn't cover.

02

Runs on your machine

Local-first: your files, your model — cloud, local, or LAN. Nothing leaves the machine, and you can work fully offline whenever you want.

03

Nothing without approval

Every action is approval-gated, with a hard constitution it can never cross. It drives a browser and uses your connectors — only when you say so.

The roster

A crew, not a chatbot.

Yours, not theirs

The difference is whose computer it runs on.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What Klexbots is, where it runs, and how the crew stays under your control.

What is Klexbots?

Klexbots is a local-first desktop app where you message a crew of 10 general-purpose AI coworker bots — like Ori the assistant, Sage the researcher, and Vega the analyst. They research, write, crunch data, and automate routine work directly on your own computer, and a coordinator hands tasks to the right specialist. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Is Klexbots free?

Yes. Klexbots is free while it is in alpha. You download the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux and own the install — there is no subscription or per-seat rental during the alpha. Because it is local-first, you can also point it at your own AI models to control any model costs yourself.

Does my data stay private, and where does Klexbots run?

Klexbots is local-first: it runs on your own computer, and your files, API keys, and data stay on the machine. Nothing leaves your device unless you connect an external tool or a cloud model yourself. You can point it at local or LAN models and work fully offline, so your work never has to touch someone else's servers.

What can the Klexbots bots do?

The bots do real work: web research with cited findings, drafting and editing writing, analysis over CSVs and spreadsheets, inbox and calendar help, social posts, support replies, recurring background jobs, and writing and running code. They can drive a browser and use one-click connectors like GitHub and Slack, touching only what you grant them.

How is Klexbots different from Grok Bot?

Klexbots is a you-own-it alternative to cloud bot platforms like Grok Bot. Instead of running on a company's servers, it runs on your own machine, so your files and keys never leave. Every bot action is approval-gated, you own the install rather than renting access, and you can bring any AI model — cloud, local, or LAN.

What platforms does Klexbots support?

Klexbots is a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, built on Electron. You install it locally on your own computer rather than using it through a browser or cloud service. It is free to download while the product is in alpha.

Do the bots act without permission?

No. Every bot action is approval-gated. Each shell command, file edit, message send, or deletion waits at a gate until you approve or reject it — the bot never acts behind your back. There is an opt-in sandbox for extra isolation and phone approval so you can review and confirm actions even when you are away from the machine.

Can I use my own AI models with Klexbots?

Yes. Klexbots lets you bring your own model. Because it is local-first, you can connect cloud models with your own API keys, or point it at local and LAN models to stay fully offline. You are not locked to a single provider, which keeps your data and your model costs under your own control.
