Jan is an open-source artificial intelligence platform designed to run directly on your own computer. Its main objective is to offer an alternative to centralized services, enabling you to use AI models without relying exclusively on external servers. This approach is based on making artificial intelligence accessible, customizable, and controlled by the user rather than being limited to large technology providers.
A local alternative to AI assistants on the cloud
Basically, Jan is an open alternative to popular conversational AI tools like ChatGPT, allowing models to run directly on your hardware or connecting to external models through APIs. This hybrid approach lets you choose between local and external models according to your needs. It also includes a system for creating custom assistants and connecting external tools, expanding its capabilities beyond simple conversations. Furthermore, Jan can run completely offline, keeping your data and conversations on your computer.
Compatible with multiple models
Another feature of Jan is its integration with a wide range of artificial intelligence models. From the platform, you can select open models or connect external services, allowing you to adapt performance and resource consumption to different situations. This makes it possible to experiment with different models without setting up complex configurations from scratch. The community also contributes improvements, tools, and new features to expand the platform's capabilities.
