Coot AI

Coot is a single downloadable app that puts AI to work on your documents, calendar and email while keeping everything on hardware you control. Rather than sending prompts and files to a hosted service, it runs models locally, so your data stays with you, there are no per-use bills, and your knowledge does not become training material for someone else's model. A cloud model can still be attached if you want one, but only those specific requests leave your environment.

What is inside is more than chat. Private RAG lets you ask questions across documents and connected drives; agents handle multi-step jobs; a visual workflow builder with schedules automates routine work; and a Model Hub matches models to your machine's capabilities. Skills and memory persist so helpers get better over time, while email and inbox triage, drafting and extraction happen privately. The optional connections to Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, Slack, Google Drive and Calendar are authorised by you and accessed only when needed for actions you request.

Deployment scales from an individual laptop to an enterprise. You can start with a single install, add your team through linked workspaces that share files, models and computing power over a private network, or host it on your own server, cloud or a managed private Coot cloud with a control panel. Businesses use it across finance, HR, sales, marketing, operations, support, legal and IT, over data that can span terabytes. Windows support and shared team workflows are listed as upcoming.
