OpenYak is an open-source desktop AI agent that handles your files, documents, and workflows — locally. 100+ cloud models, 20+ built-in tools, Ollama for offline use. Your data never leaves your machine. Free to start.
Downloaded and set up account but nothing works either on the account page on the site or on my desktop.

@gregory_zunic So sorry, Gregory. That definitely shouldn't be happening.
My apologies for the frustration. We're looking into this as a top priority right now. Could you please DM me or send some details/screenshot to rickie_lin@outlook.com?
We want to get this fixed for you immediately. Thanks for your patience.
@pei_lin Thanks. Let me know if you need any more information. I am looking for a tool like this and look forward to trying it.

@pei_lin @gregory_zunic it should work now, please give another shot!
@pei_lin @wangzhang_wu I am able to access my account page on the website but desktop still says failed to fetch when I try to log in.

The lock-in problem is real. I've been moving more and more to open-source tooling just to keep optionality as the models keep changing. The fact that you can swap models without rebuilding your workflow is more valuable than it sounds - six months ago a different model was best for different tasks and that keeps shifting.

@mykola_kondratiuk 100% agree — model optionality is underrated until you've been burned by it. That's exactly why we built OpenYak to be model-agnostic from day one. You can swap between Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models, whatever fits the task — without changing your workflow at all. The AI landscape moves too fast to bet everything on one provider. Glad to see more people thinking this way.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Steve, maker of OpenYak.
AI for file work is still weirdly broken: too much lock-in, too many limits, too little control.
We built OpenYak to fix that.
It’s an open-source AI coworker that runs on your desktop. Give it a folder and an outcome, and it can work with your files directly — reading, editing, organizing, analyzing, and creating content locally.
No subscription. No vendor lock-in. Optional full offline mode with Ollama. And support for 100+ models.
We think desktop AI should belong to users, not platforms.
Curious: what’s the first task you’d want it to handle?
I like the remote control feature so basically I can let the agent work on my pc when I’m outside! Nice work!

@sequoiadb_user1 Thanks! Yeah the remote control is one of my favorite features too — kick off a task, go grab coffee, come back and it's done. We're working on making that experience even smoother. Let us know if you run into any issues or have feature requests!
do you need ollama for local? My local machine has GPUs, do I need any external software to run this?
Yeah! I'm on that. Switching and switching all the day. I needed something like this Pei. Congrats on the launch

@german_merlo1 Thanks so much.
You're absolutely right - contexting switching is the biggest cognitive load we're trying to kill. And we have some exciting features in the works to make that flow even smoother and better. We're constantly refining the experiences based on feedback like yours.
If you encounter any issues or have ideas, please don't hesitate to let us know. We’re committed to iterating fast!
Also, we'd love for you to contribute — whether it’s a feature request or code. Let's build the ultimate workflow together.
