A powerful, cross-platform desktop application that brings the full KnoxChat AI platform to your desktop with an integrated VS Code-based code editor.
KnoxChat Desktop combines enterprise-grade AI capabilities with a native desktop experience, giving you faster access, better privacy, and seamless coding workflows—all in one app.
Access the world's leading AI models through a single unified interface:
- OpenAI — GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and more
- Anthropic — Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Haiku 4.5
- Google — Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini Flash
- DeepSeek — DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash
- Qwen — Qwen3.7 Max
- And 60+ more providers — Mistral, XAI Grok, MiniMax, Perplexity, and beyond
No more juggling multiple subscriptions or switching between apps. One API key, one interface, unlimited possibilities.
Traditional AI models have fixed context windows—KnoxChat breaks that barrier.
Knox-MS (Knox Memory System) is a human brain-inspired memory architecture that enables:
- Unlimited conversation length — No more hitting token limits mid-conversation
- Intelligent memory hierarchy — Working memory, short-term, long-term, and permanent storage
- Smart retrieval — Vector search with semantic understanding finds relevant context automatically
- Cross-session learning — The system remembers patterns and preferences across conversations
- Automatic summarization — Long conversations are intelligently compressed without losing key information
Perfect for complex projects, ongoing research, or any task that requires maintaining context over extended interactions.
KnoxChat doesn't just connect you to AI models—it optimizes every request:
- Automatic failover — If one provider is down, requests seamlessly route to alternatives
- Performance routing — Sub-10ms routing decisions based on real-time latency and success rates
- Cost optimization — Automatically select the most cost-effective provider for your needs
- Quality assurance — Continuous monitoring ensures consistent response quality
- 99.9% uptime — Multi-layer fallbacks guarantee your work is never interrupted
A full VS Code experience built right into the app:
- Complete development environment — File explorer, syntax highlighting, extensions support
- **KnoxChat Agent Coding — AI-powered coding assistant available in every project
- Seamless workflow — Ask questions in Chat/Agent, get code suggestions directly in your editor
- Automatic theme sync — Editor theme follows your app preference (Dark/Light)
- Native clipboard support — Full copy/paste functionality between chat and editor
Built with performance and usability in mind:
- Fast startup — Native app launches instantly, no browser overhead
- System tray integration — Quick access without cluttering your desktop
- Window state persistence — Remembers your preferred size and position
- Keyboard shortcuts — Familiar shortcuts for power users
