openyak
Open-source local-first AI agent for desktop work. No account, no telemetry: use local models with Ollama/Rapid-MLX or bring your own provider key.
About openyak
Run an agent on your own computer, work with local files, use local models when you can, and choose cloud providers only when you want them.
OpenYak is built for people who want an AI agent that lives on their machine instead of behind another hosted workspace account.
OpenYak can turn a dense memo into a structured brief that is ready for a manager, team update, or follow-up email.
openyak is an open-source project written primarily in Python, with 703 stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
