AI agents that work
on your machine, not ours.
We build AI infrastructure so developers can ship with any model — not rent a black box. Our first product is Liminal AI — a free AI coding agent developers install in one command: edit code, run tests, search the web, and remember context across sessions.
Open source · MIT license · Windows, Mac, Linux · You bring the API key
Built for people who ship software, not slide decks.
Hosted AI assistants are convenient until you need visibility, model choice, or data that stays on your laptop. We build the opposite.
It actually does the work
Liminal doesn't just suggest code — it runs tools: open files, apply patches, execute tests, commit to git, fetch docs from the web. You watch every step live.
Your model, your bill
Plug in OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local model. Pay the provider directly. No markup, no proxy, no vendor deciding which models you can use.
Memory that sticks
Facts, lessons, and successful workflows are saved locally. Optional Obsidian vault sync. The agent gets better the more you use it — without sending history to our servers.
What we believe
Reliability beats hype
Retries, drift detection, and approval gates exist so multi-step tasks finish — not so demos look smooth for two minutes.
You should see the loop
Every tool call streams in the UI. If the agent edits a file, you see the diff. Trust comes from transparency.
Local-first by default
Runs on your hardware. Session logs are files you own. No telemetry. No mandatory cloud account.
Open source wins long-term
Liminal is MIT licensed. Fork it, audit it, run it in your company. We grow by being worth paying for support, not lock-in.
More tools for teams running their own AI stack.
Liminal is live today. We're building the next pieces for engineers who want shared memory, audit logs, and enterprise deployment — without giving up control.
