Manual AI use is slowing you down

Before Askimo, teams jump between prompts, scripts, and scattered tools. It's repetitive, inconsistent, and harder than it should be. Askimo brings everything into one place so you can work faster with any AI provider.

Scattered Knowledge

Your notes, documents, and project files aren't connected to your AI tools — so answers lack context and miss important details. Askimo indexes your content so AI understands the full picture.

Manual Repetition

People retype the same prompts, run the same commands, and redo the same tasks every day.

Fragmented Tools

Each AI provider has its own interface, limits, and mental model — forcing you to constantly switch and adapt.

Everything you need to get more done with AI

Askimo brings chat, commands, and automation together in one simple experience. Talk to any AI provider, organize your knowledge, and speed up everyday tasks - without switching tools.

AI Chat

Have clear, natural conversations with your preferred AI models - OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Ollama, X AI, and more. Switch providers instantly and fine-tune responses with custom instructions and tones.

Knowledge Management

Keep your important documents, notes, and content in one place. Askimo's RAG-enabled projects index your files so AI can understand your context and provide grounded, relevant answers.

Smart Automation

Save time on repetitive tasks. Create reusable recipes, process files from the CLI, run Askimo in non-interactive mode, or use AI to assist with logs, text processing, summaries, and more.

Flexible Platform

Askimo adapts to how you work. Choose your favorite AI providers, adjust model parameters, add extensions, and integrate Askimo into your existing tools with ease.

Built for Everyone

Fast, portable, and available on both Desktop and CLI. Askimo works locally or with cloud providers, giving you full control over privacy, performance, and zero vendor lock-in.

Open Source Community
