Build worlds from nothing.
AI that belongs to you.
Yamis turns your computer into your own artificial intelligence. It finds out which model works best on your hardware, sets it up and gives you agents that code, edit files and complete tasks for you – no subscription, and your data never leaves your home.
Free · Windows, macOS and Linux · Browser, Android app and command line
How it works
- 1
Measure
Yamis Lokal checks your computer – processor, memory, graphics card – and tests with real tasks what it can do.
- 2
Set up
You decide how much power the AI may use. Yamis picks the right one from freely usable models and sets everything up.
- 3
Get going
Talk to Yamis in the browser, in the app or on the command line. The agents work step by step – and ask you before every change.
What Yamis does for you
Programming
Yamis reads your project, writes and reviews code, runs tests and explains what it did – right in your project folder.
Servers and systems
Checking updates, setting up services, finding problems: Yamis looks after your servers – every change only after your yes.
More than text
Design 3D objects for printing, analyse PDFs, understand voice messages. Just say what you need – Yamis works out how.
Agents that ask
Plan, act, verify – on their own, but never without your yes. Dangerous commands are blocked, every step stays traceable.
Wherever you are
Browser, Android app, command line, editor and terminal – all talk to the same Yamis and the same conversations.
Private by principle
No ads, no tracking, no selling of your data. Your model runs on your computer – not in a corporation’s data centre.
Measured, not guessed
Spec sheets say little about whether a model really works on your machine. Yamis measures it – with real programming tasks.
Why Yamis
The name brings two figures together. Ymir is the primordial giant of Norse myth: born in the void between fire and ice, his body became the world. Raw strength from which something great arises.
His digital counterpart is a companion who is uncannily clever, always there and a loyal friend. Yamis is both – the power of your own computer and a digital best friend who helps you.
That is why the sign in the rune ring, why ice and ember: your hardware becomes your own AI world.
The story behind it
Yamis was not born in a corporation but at a desk. A single developer built it in his spare time – on his own hardware, with his own money – and uses it every day: for programming, for his servers, for his own apps.
The drive: AI should belong to everyone, not just to a few with huge data centres who decide what is good and what is not. It should be private, and simple.
The next big step
An AI server of our own – around 30,000 euros today – to train our own models that are every bit as capable as the big ones and still run at home.
How that will be financed is still open; until then the developer pays the costs himself. Ideas are welcome – for example a give-and-take where your model does computing for others and you get computing time in return. Will it grow into something big? Let’s find out together.
Ideas, questions or want to join in? Write to yamis.agent@gmail.com.
An address on our own mail server is planned – right now the cost is not yet worth it for the project.
Where we are
Yamis is already in daily use. The version for everyone – with the Yamis Lokal program that measures your computer and sets up the right model – is being built right now. We are opening step by step, and everyone who joins helps shape it: just open a ticket in Yamis with your wish.
