Local AI, old-school messenger vibes
AI Messenger is a simple desktop app that turns local AI models into a team of custom assistants. Pick a preset, build your own personality, and switch models on the fly for chat, OCR, vision, or image generation.
Built for Ollama and compatible local AI servers. Models are not included.
Create a team in minutes: pick models, name each assistant, and give each one a job.
Start fast with presets like Helpful, Tutor, Chief of Staff, or Misfit.
Customize the full personality with tone, soul prompt, role behavior, instructions, and skills.
Switch models in a one-on-one chat when you need OCR, image generation, or general discussion.
Use an OCR assistant to extract text from images, screenshots, scanned notes, and documents.
Send extracted text and files into the group chat so the whole team can analyze the work together.

Product tour
Add assistants like Marketing, Analytics, OCR, Image Generator, Writer, and Reviewer as simple contacts.
Open a normal messenger-style chat with a custom assistant whenever you want a focused conversation.
Use one model for everyday chat, then switch to OCR, vision, or image generation when the task changes.
Pick a quick preset, or edit the assistant’s tone, soul prompt, behavior, instructions, and skills.
Ask an OCR model to read an image or document, then pass the extracted text back to the group.
Let marketing, analytics, research, and review assistants discuss the same source material in one place.
Keep the workflow in one chat and let each assistant contribute its part before you decide what to use.
Local-first
AI Messenger is an interface for your local model server. Your profiles, chat history, and settings stay on your device, and attached files are sent to the model endpoint you configure.
