No. You keep working in the AI tool you already use. You never open OwnSI. It’s for your AI, not for you: it runs underneath and gives your AI your structure, rules and agents.
Is this a new AI model?
No. OwnSI works with the AI tool you already use: Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. The model stays the same; it gets your structure, rules and agents.
Why not just use the AI’s built-in memory?
Built-in memory is a few notes the model keeps for itself. OwnSI gives it your projects, people and decisions as linked records you can see and edit, plus rules for how to think and agents that act on their own.
Can I continue in a new chat?
Yes. Close a chat, open a new one, and pick up where you stopped. Your context carries over between chats.
Do agents burn my tokens?
Many built-in agents are local scripts and use no model tokens. Agents you don’t need can sleep and run only when you call them.
Can I use it from my phone or a browser?
Yes. Keep your AI app running on your computer with remote access turned on, and keep working from the browser or your phone. A browser chat with no desktop app behind it can’t reach your files.
Does it run when my computer is off?
No. Scheduled agents need your computer on and awake.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once. Your AI subscription is separate.
Can I switch to another AI later?
Yes. Your projects, people, decisions, rules and agents stay in OwnSI on your computer. Move from Cursor to Claude Code or Codex, and the new tool works your way from the first chat.
What if installation fails?
Send us the installer report. If we can’t make it run on a supported computer, we refund the purchase.
a note from the founder
Everyone has the same AI models. Very few people get real work out of them, because every chat starts from zero.
OwnSI gives any AI your structure, your rules, and agents that do the routine on their own. Your data stays with you. Switch models tomorrow and the system stays.
