Ownership first
Your keys, local storage, and direct provider access mean the workspace belongs to you instead of renting someone else’s black box.
Multi-model chat, side-by-side comparison, graph-based Prompt Chains, knowledge bases, memory, MCP tools, and rich artifacts — all in one local-first workspace. Offline-ready, encrypted backups, and bring-your-own-storage sync. Your keys. Your data. No telemetry.

A local-first AI workspace for comparing models, building graph-based workflows, connecting MCP tools, and keeping spend visible without stacking subscriptions.
Stop bouncing between vendor UIs. NovaKit lets you bring your own API keys, switch models fast, and keep your AI workflow in one place.
Build prompt chains with branching logic, step outputs, variables, and visual flow editing so your best AI process becomes repeatable.
NovaKit gives you per-message estimates, model-level visibility, and budget awareness so you can use the right model without surprise bills.
Build a reusable prompt library with variables and personas so your best instructions do not disappear into old chats.
Upload PDFs and files, chunk and embed them locally, and let NovaKit retrieve the right context when you need grounded answers.
NovaKit Memory stores useful facts, preferences, and decisions across conversations so you spend less time repeating context.
NovaKit helps you go beyond chat by connecting MCP servers and rendering generated outputs like code, React components, Markdown, and diagrams.
NovaKit supports multimodal AI workflows with attachments, image understanding, voice input, and inline image generation using your own keys.
NovaKit is installable as a progressive web app so you can access your workspace, prompts, and past material from desktop or mobile with offline support.
NovaKit supports encrypted backups and bring-your-own-storage sync so your data can move across devices using storage you control.
NovaKit includes App Lock and Panic Wipe so you can secure access to the workspace and erase local traces quickly if a device becomes risky.
Explore how a local-first, multi-model workspace helps developers, researchers, marketers, and founders work with more ownership and less tool sprawl.
Use case
Use multiple coding models, inspect costs, connect tools with MCP, and keep your AI workflow portable instead of tied to one vendor UI.

Use case
Use one AI workspace for strategy, research, writing, planning, and internal knowledge without stacking subscriptions or surrendering ownership.
Explore use case →
The workspace is built to help you choose models intentionally, structure repeatable work, and keep your private context close to the task.
Multi-model decision making
Run the same prompt against different providers, inspect quality, and keep cost visible before one model becomes the default forever.
Repeatable execution
Move from ad hoc prompting to a chain with variables, branching, and reusable outputs when the work becomes multi-step.
Knowledge and memory
Use your own documents, saved prompts, and persistent memory so the workspace gets more useful over time instead of starting from zero.
Most AI products optimize for lock-in or noise. NovaKit is built for people who want control over providers, visibility into cost, and a cleaner interface that respects focus.
Your keys, local storage, and direct provider access mean the workspace belongs to you instead of renting someone else’s black box.
Switch between flagship, reasoning, fast, and local models without rebuilding your workflow around a single vendor.
NovaKit should feel calmer, sharper, and more premium than the cluttered dashboards typical in AI tooling.
NovaKit is designed to outperform subscription-first AI products on control, visibility, and product quality — not just on price.
These pages help users switching from familiar hosted products into a calmer, more ownership-first AI workspace.
ChatGPT alternative
ChatGPT is excellent for simple hosted chat. NovaKit is better when you want model choice, BYOK economics, stronger ownership, and a real AI workspace.
ChatGPT wins on simplicity. NovaKit wins on ownership, flexibility, cost transparency, and advanced BYOK workflows.

Perplexity alternative
Perplexity is great for fast answer-and-citation search. NovaKit is better when your work needs multi-model control, reusable workflows, private context, and local-first ownership.
Perplexity wins on quick answer-engine convenience. NovaKit wins on deeper workspace control, BYOK flexibility, and reusable AI operations.

Poe alternative
Poe is useful for lightweight access to many bots and models. NovaKit is better when you want deeper workflow structure, BYOK economics, and control over your workspace data.
Poe wins on simple hosted variety. NovaKit wins on workspace depth, cost visibility, and user-owned AI operations.

NovaKit is designed for users who have already tried the default AI stack and want something calmer, more portable, and more economical.
Use one workspace with your own provider keys instead of paying monthly for multiple wrapper products that overlap.
See pricing →
Keep workspace data local-first, export encrypted backups, and sync through storage you control instead of defaulting to vendor custody.
See ownership features →
Save prompts, reuse personas, build chains, and connect tools when one-off chat stops being enough for the work.
See Prompt Chains →
NovaKit is opinionated about ownership: your keys, your storage, your model mix, your workflow. That shows up in the product design, pricing, and the way features fit together.

Indie founder
Uses NovaKit for strategy, writing, and research
“The combination of prompt chains, knowledge base, and local-first backups is exactly what I wish most AI apps prioritized.”
Technical operator
Uses NovaKit for repeatable workflows and internal docs
“Being able to use Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models in one calm interface is a much better workflow than tab-hopping across vendor apps.”
