gezel Hand off a job tonight. Review it in the morning.

Gezel is a free app that gives you a crew of AI helpers: a researcher, a writer, a developer, and more. Tell them what you need and they get to work on your own computer, overnight if you like. In the morning, their reports and suggested changes are waiting for you.

Works with free AI models that run on your computer, or with a Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot plan you already have. There’s no Gezel account to create.

How it works

Tell the Meester what you need

Your first helper is the Meester, who runs the workshop. Describe the job in your own words, and they bring in the right helpers for it.

Your crew gets to work

Each helper follows a tested, step-by-step plan for the job. Watch along and step in whenever you like, or leave them to it overnight.

Why Gezel

Made for the AI on your computer

Each helper has one job, a few tools, and one of 290+ tested plans to follow. That focus lets the AI on your own computer finish real work. We test models on real jobs and publish the results.

You stay in charge

Helpers don’t get your passwords, open access to the web, or a view of anything else on your computer unless you allow it. How Gezel keeps AI in bounds

Yours to keep

Everything your crew makes is saved as ordinary files on your own disk. Gezel is free and open source, and none of our servers sits between you and your work.

Bring Gezel to your apps

Your crew and your local models can work inside the tools you already use. Set each one up, or remove it, in Settings → Integrations.

Plug into your coding tools

Use your crew and local models in VS Code, OpenCode, and pi. Each keeps its own tools and approvals.

Coding tools and editors 

Give other AI apps new tools

Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can search your folders and documents, make images, and turn their writing into Word, PowerPoint, or PDF files.

Gezel’s tools in other AI apps 

Work inside your office apps

Chat with your crew beside a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document, and let it edit when you allow. LibreOffice works too.

Office and LibreOffice 

Use Gezel as a platform

The engine behind the app is yours to build on, from the command line and with open-source packages on npm.

Build workflows with the CLI

Start craftbooks, send one-shot prompts, and wait for the results from a terminal or a script.

The gezel command line 

Add local AI to your app

OpenAI-style chat on local models for Node.js and Electron. Use the person’s Gezel, or host one inside your app.

Building connected apps 

Build apps that live in Gezel

Package a page, scripts, a crew, and craftbooks into one app that installs into a project.
