OpenYak

OpenYak is a desktop AI agent for local workspaces. It is described as a local-first AI operations system that turns folders into finished work, reading local workspaces, running tools, showing progress, and returning files, reports, tables, and other artifacts inside the app rather than acting as a web chatbot skin.

Its capabilities include file edits, shell tasks, parsing, browsing, memory, and artifact generation in one loop. The site also highlights office automation for renaming, organizing, and cleaning up files with auditable logs; local data analysis on XLSX, CSV, and document data without uploading files; team operations that merge notes from PDFs, DOCX, and CSVs into structured briefs; and content drafting for internal notices, policy updates, and professional communications. Workspace memory stores notes as a Markdown document scoped to each project directory, and context is automatically injected into each session.

OpenYak supports model choice through cloud providers, local Ollama models, BYOK, or a subscription. It lists 100+ model providers and names OpenRouter, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Qwen, Meta, Mistral, and NVIDIA among the options shown on the site. It also mentions 46 pre-configured MCP connectors for project management, communication, data, design, CRM, and more, which can be enabled with one click and authenticated with OAuth. Communication channels named on the page include WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WeChat, Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, QQ, Email, Matrix, MoChat, and WebSocket.

The product is delivered as a desktop app, with download links shown for Windows and references to Windows, macOS, and Linux bundled runtime on the pricing section. The site calls it open source and labels it a Claude Code and Codex alternative. Pricing includes a free OpenYak Desktop offering and an OpenYak Premium plan for teams that value speed, governance, and craft.
