Fae is the AI workbench that shows its work.

Research, create, automate, and build from one desktop workspace—with context, permissions, and results kept in view.

Built-in accountability

The controls live where the work happens.

Permissions, review, recovery, and activity history stay visible throughout the run.

Ways to work

Three spaces. One consistent standard.

Choose General for conversation, Work for research and browser tasks, or Code for scoped development.

S-01

General

Think · ask · draft

Explore ideas, make decisions, and draft grounded answers—with web sources when needed.

S-02

Work

Research · browser · documents

Research, compare, write, and complete browser tasks with sources and connected tools kept visible.

S-03

Code

Build · test · review

Build in a scoped project with approved commands, live preview, diffs, tests, and recovery.

Boundary

Local first, connected by choice.

Your workspace stays on your PC. Cloud models and integrations are opt-in.

Stays on your machine

  • Projects, documents & artifacts — including versions and run records
  • Working context & memory — with a source attached to remembered facts
  • Activity history & usage — available through local Profile and Insights views
  • Settings, keys & permissions
  • Restore points & recovery state — captured before supported changes
  • Diagnostics — until you choose to export a support bundle

Crosses only with a grant

  • Cloud models — local context included only when enabled for that provider
  • Managed models — with visible balances, limits, and recovery choices
  • Browser work — through a paired extension and separate action controls
  • Commands & file changes — with approval before sensitive actions
  • Connected services — governed by the scope you approve
  • Support exports — sent only when you initiate them

Local models can keep private workflows entirely on your machine. Fae supports Ollama and llama.cpp as first-class providers.

Continuity

Your work continues — not just the chat.

Goals, constraints, working material, and verification carry forward. Checkpoints keep decisions and open questions available for the next turn.

A completed browser workflow with its access state and activity record kept beside the result.
Fae Profile Runs screen showing agent run totals, success rate, longest task, total agent time, tool calls, files changed, and run outcomes.
Local run history keeps outcomes, activity, changed files, and time on task available for review.

Private beta

Bring real work. Keep the evidence.

Bring one workflow you want to finish and verify. Selected testers receive managed access directly from Fae.
