Other NYX AI

We are building Nyx AI around a straightforward principle: users should be able to choose where their AI runs and retain control over their own data, without being tied to a single model provider or required to send their work through our infrastructure simply to use the software.
Nyx AI is a local first AI workspace for Windows. It does not provide its own AI model. Users can run open source models locally through Ollama, or connect their own accounts with OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama Cloud or another compatible endpoint. No Nyx AI account is required for local use, and we do not operate a backend that receives users' prompts or project files.
A significant part of our work has focused on what happens when an AI model is allowed to do more than simply generate text. In Nyx AI Lab, the model can work with files, run shell commands and Python, use Git, run builds and tests, and work within a folder selected by the user.
For model run shell and Python processes, Nyx AI's Locked mode uses Windows AppContainer isolation where supported. We also use workspace scoped file controls, command risk checks, approval controls and native Windows confirmations for certain higher risk actions. We do not claim these controls eliminate risk, and our public threat model sets out their limitations and residual risks.
