Ollama desktop GUI for local AI models. 100% private, offline-capable with multi-provider support, conversation search, model switching & no terminal commands.
Askimo transforms Ollama from a simple chat interface into a full AI studio — with RAG, code block execution, MCP tool integrations, and multi-provider switching.
All conversations stay on your machine. No data sent to external servers, complete privacy guaranteed. Similar to LM Studio and LocalAI for complete data control.
Use unlimited AI conversations without paying per-token. Perfect for experimentation and heavy usage. Unlike OpenAI or Claude which charge per request.
Work without internet connection. Your AI assistant works anywhere, anytime. Switch to cloud providers like Gemini or GPT models when you need the latest capabilities.
Switch between Llama, Mistral, CodeLlama, and other open-source models instantly. Combine with Docker AI for containerized workflows.
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 Ollama access — acknowledging what each does well.
