Why Use Askimo AI Studio with Gemini

Askimo transforms Gemini from a simple chat interface into a full AI studio — with RAG, code block execution, MCP tool integrations, and multi-provider switching.

Latest Gemini Models

Access the latest Gemini models and new releases as Google makes them available through the API.

Multimodal Ready

Handle text, images, and other inputs through an interface designed for multimodal AI. Unique advantage over text-only providers like Ollama or LM Studio.

Desktop Productivity

Native app performance with keyboard shortcuts, quick actions, and efficient workflows. Switch to OpenAI or Claude when you need specialized capabilities.

Provider Agnostic

Use Gemini alongside OpenAI for reasoning, Claude for code analysis, or Ollama for privacy-sensitive work in the same workspace.

Askimo is more than a chat client — it's your local AI Studio
📚

RAG

Index your docs, code, and notes. AI answers grounded in your own knowledge base — not the open internet.

🔧

MCP Tools

AI agents that read files, run commands, call APIs, and execute git operations — not just chat.

📋

AI Plans

Chain multiple AI prompts into automated workflows. Each step builds on the last — research, analyse, write — all in one run.
