Features

Everything you need

💻

Terminal Access

The AI runs real commands in PowerShell or bash and reads the output back. It can install packages and fix errors, and it always asks before installing anything.

🔍

Web Search

Built-in web search so your assistant can look things up in real time.

🧠

Multi-Backend AI

Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, Ollama, LM Studio, or your own self-hosted OpenAI-compatible server. Switch providers in settings.

🐾

16 Characters

Choose from 16 animated desktop companions, each with its own idle animations, or add custom sprite characters.

🛡️

Safety Layer

Read-only commands run automatically. Everything else asks first and shows you the exact command. Catastrophic commands are blocked, and once web content enters the chat, every command needs your OK.

👻

Ghost Mode

Make the assistant click-through and translucent so it stays on screen without getting in the way. Toggle with Ctrl+Shift+G.
