AI. Now with adult supervision.

Authenticated. Audited. Managed.
That's what we mean by adult.

What it does

One client. Two modes.

Run it standalone for free with your own API keys or a local model. No account, no backend, no telemetry. Or connect to your organization's KAiZAI tenant for SSO, centrally managed providers, policy, and audit. Included in every KAiZAI subscription. Same binary either way.

Standalone

✓
Free. No KAiZAI account required.
✓
Bring your own API keys or a local LLM.
✓
All config, chats, and tokens stay on your machine.
✓
No policies, no telemetry, no one else in the loop.

Centrally managed

✓
Included in every KAiZAI subscription.
✓
Sign in via SSO. Your IDP, your credentials.
✓
Provider keys managed centrally. No user-supplied credentials.
✓
On-device DLP scrubs sensitive data before any model call.
✓
Tool policy, peer approvals, and full audit logs.

Any model

Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter (200+ models on one key), Groq, or a local LLM via Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM. A setup wizard walks you to a working connection in minutes. Switch providers per conversation.

Agent tools

File read, write, and edit. Shell. Search. Web. Each tool behind a permission gate you control. Connect any MCP server to extend it further.

Forge

An embedded IDE. Monaco editor, file tree, project search, git (stage, commit, diff, blame, branch graph), a persistent multi-tab terminal, and an AI review pane with before/after diffs for every change.

Zailink

An embedded agent browser. Per-chat split-panel browsing, pinned web apps, and browser tools the agent can drive without routing your session through a cloud service.

Deep Research

Multi-source research pipelines with fan-out searches, cross-source verification, and cited reports.

Model compare

Run the same prompt across 2 to 4 models side by side, then split the winner into its own conversation.

Local memory

Persistent profile, notes, to-dos, and reminders stored on your machine and available in every conversation. Nothing leaves the device.

Enterprise mode

Connect to a KAiZAI tenant for SSO, centrally managed provider keys, model allowlists, tool policy, peer approvals, audit logs, and on-device DLP that redacts sensitive data before any model call.

Heads up

It's an alpha.

KAiZAI Desktop is early. Features land fast, the UI moves, and some corners aren't painted yet. Auth, tool calls, and logging work the same way they do everywhere else in KAiZAI, so anything you do in the alpha is scoped and audited exactly as it would be in a stable client.

Found a bug or a wish? Drop us a line. The alpha is when input turns into the roadmap.
