Overview

Askimo is a local-first AI agent platform that combines chat, RAG search, multi-step AI workflows, and MCP tool integration. Built with Kotlin, it supports multiple AI providers including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and local models like Ollama. The platform features persistent sessions, script execution capabilities, and a unique Plans system for creating multi-step AI workflows. Its MCP integration allows connecting servers via stdio or HTTP, either globally or scoped per project.

FAQ

Does Askimo support offline usage?
Yes, with local models like Ollama, LM Studio, or LocalAI, all AI processing happens locally. Even with cloud providers, your documents are processed locally with RAG.
How does Askimo handle privacy?
Askimo processes all documents locally using RAG. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud. You can use it entirely offline with local models.
