Local AI, old-school messenger vibes

Your Local AI, Working Together.

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.

Make a practical team of AI personalities.

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.
