Local-first desktop AI agent
Meet Willow. An AI that remembers your work and gets things done on your computer.
Ask Willow what you worked on yesterday.
Let it organize files and automate repetitive tasks.
Your data never leaves your computer.
Your personal AI agent. Ask me anything, or let me listen to a meeting and watch your screen for context.

Providers

Capabilities

Willow drives your browser and desktop. It clicks, types, scrolls, fills forms, runs sandboxed code, and finishes multi-step tasks end to end.
The agent loop, memory and knowledge run on your machine. Your data never leaves the device.
Cloud or local, switched per task. You pay providers directly, with no markup.

Privacy
Most AI tools send your work to a cloud you don't control. Willow is a desktop-first agent, so privacy is a property of how it's built, not a line in a policy.
Get WillowThe agent loop, tools, memory and knowledge all run in a native app on your machine, not on someone else's servers.
Conversations, memory and notes live in a local SQLite database and plain Markdown files. Nothing is uploaded to us.
Willow talks to providers with your own API keys, stored in the OS keychain. Requests go straight from your machine.
Open file formats, your own models, and an MIT-licensed core. Take your data and leave at any time.
Value
Cloud chat tools make you paste your context in, over and over, and bill you for every repeated word. Willow already sits next to your data. It reads locally, sends the model only what the task needs, and shows you exactly what each answer cost.

scanning local sources
Requests go straight from your machine to your provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini — with your own key. No relay, no middleman. Or run Ollama and skip the API bill entirely.
Mail, calendar, meetings, screen and your notes vault feed Willow on-device. No exporting, no uploading, no pasting context into a chat box.
Search and embeddings run on your machine, free. Your cloud model only sees the few snippets that matter, so requests stay small and you stop paying to re-explain yourself.
A built-in usage dashboard shows tokens and cost per task and model. You pay providers directly with no markup, or run a local model and pay nothing at all.
One payment, yours for life. No subscription, ever.
Conversations, memory and notes stay on your device.
Bring your own API key or run fully offline with Ollama.
The agent loop runs in a native app on your machine.
