About Skales

Skales is a private AI agent that installs like a desktop app instead of living in someone else's cloud. The pitch is aimed at people who want what terminal agents can do — 183 built-in tools, background goals, code execution, email, and media handling — without the terminal itself and without shipping their files to a vendor. You type a goal rather than a message: /goal research suppliers, and the agent recognizes the intent, plans the steps with visible success criteria you can edit, and then keeps working in the background even after you close the chat. Approvals surface before anything consequential happens, so an outbound booking email waits for you to approve or decline. Model choice is entirely yours: start with Skales IQ, a free built-in trial that needs no API key, or bring Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Mistral, or run fully local through Ollama or LM Studio — switchable any time with no restart. Three features are genuinely unusual: AIPointer lets you point the cursor at anything on screen and ask about it in place; Teams links two people and their agents to one shared, end-to-end-encrypted plan; and Swarm turns your own devices into a single workforce, so a gaming PC does the heavy lifting while your data stays on hardware you own. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, works offline, requires no account, and is source-available on GitHub with an Apache 2.0 commitment dated 2030.
