About Kael-OS

Meet your dragon guardian companion for the AI quest

Our Mission

Kael-OS is more than just software - it's your partner on a grand quest. Meet Kael, a bird-like dragon guardian who transforms every challenge into an epic boss battle. Together, you'll conquer tasks while maintaining complete privacy and control over your AI experience.

By leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Rust, Tauri, and both local (Ollama) and cloud AI providers, we've built a lightning-fast desktop application that intelligently routes to the most efficient option. Your data stays under your control, Kael's personality adapts to your style, and you maintain complete sovereignty.

Why Kael-OS?

� Your Dragon Guardian

Kael isn't just an AI - they're your partner on this grand quest. Customize their sass and playfulness levels to match your adventure style. Every interaction frames challenges as epic boss battles.

⚡ Hybrid Intelligence

Local models (Ollama) for privacy, cloud providers (Gemini, Mistral) for power. Kael intelligently routes to the most efficient option, balancing speed, cost, and capability.

🔒 Privacy First

Your data, your control. Local processing keeps conversations private. Cloud routing only when you choose, with your explicit API keys. Kael respects your sovereignty.

🎮 GPU Accelerated

Automatic GPU detection and acceleration for faster AI inference. Supports NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for maximum performance on compatible hardware.

🔓 Open Source

Fully open source under MIT license. Transparent development, community-driven improvements, and the freedom to modify and distribute.

🏔️ Arch-Native

Optimized for Arch Linux with native packaging, rolling release updates, and deep integration with the Arch ecosystem.
