The AI operating layer
for your machines
Not a chatbot. The interface to your computer.
Talk to Clu by voice or text, and it controls everything.
Coming soon to iOS and web dashboard
The paradigm
Other AI tools live in a chat window and describe what they'd do. Clu lives inside your machine. It sees your files, your containers, your processes. It runs commands, edits code, manages services, and delegates to more powerful AI when needed. Development, ops, automation. Everything goes through Clu.

Capabilities
Execute shell commands on any connected device. See output in real-time.
Read, write, and modify files with diff previews before committing changes.
Create, start, stop, and inspect Docker and Podman containers.
Hand off tasks to Claude Code, Codex, or Aider running on your machine.
Query persistent knowledge: context, preferences, and past decisions.
Upload and download files between your phone and any connected device.
Explore project files with syntax highlighting. Navigate directories.
AI Models
From fully offline local models to the most capable cloud APIs, choose the right balance of privacy, capability, and cost.
AI models that run directly on your machine. No internet. No data leaves your device. Run cluterm setup and select “Local”.
8GB+ RAM recommended
Claude Code, Codex, Aider, OpenCode. If it's installed, Clu detects it. Delegate tasks and they run on your machine while you step away.
Tool must be installed on device
Connect to Anthropic or OpenAI using your own keys. Stored encrypted on your device, never sent to Clu servers.
Your API key, your usage
Interaction
Use voice when your hands are busy. Switch to text for precision. Clu processes both the same way, understanding intent, choosing tools, executing on your device, and showing results.

Continuity
Clu remembers. Project context, your preferences, decisions, patterns, all stored locally and searchable across sessions.
Independence
Install Clu on any machine. Run cluterm setup to configure your AI backend. That's it.
