Anthropic Claude desktop client for the latest Claude models. Native app with local storage, multi-provider switching, conversation search & export.
Askimo transforms Claude from a simple chat interface into a full AI studio — with RAG, code block execution, MCP tool integrations, and multi-provider switching.
Access the latest Claude models for complex tasks, balanced performance, and speed. Compare with other providers for different reasoning approaches.
Handle long documents and extended conversations with Claude's large context window through an organized interface. Perfect for code analysis and research.
Keep all your Claude conversations stored locally with full privacy control and offline access to history. Need complete privacy? Try Ollama or LM Studio for local-only AI.
Compare Claude's responses with OpenAI, Gemini for multimodal tasks, or local models without switching apps.
Index your docs, code, and notes. AI answers grounded in your own knowledge base — not the open internet.
AI agents that read files, run commands, call APIs, and execute git operations — not just chat.
Chain multiple AI prompts into automated workflows. Each step builds on the last — research, analyse, write — all in one run.
A fair, side-by-side look at what Askimo AI Studio adds on top of the standard Claude access — acknowledging what each does well.
