Aetox — the best harness for the AI you already use. A local-first AI agent for Windows: any model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama and 31 providers) works on your files, code, browser and documents — Excel, PowerPoint, Word, video. Don't change your model. Change the harness.

Ask Claude to extract and summarize key data from Excel spreadsheets without leaving your desktop.
Generate detailed slide content by having Claude analyze your PowerPoint presentations and suggest improvements.
Automate document review by having Claude scan Word files for compliance issues and inconsistencies.

Why it matters

Eliminates vendor lock-in and model switching costs by running any LLM provider against enterprise file formats and codebases locally, reducing toolchain fragmentation and data residency risk.

Best for

Engineering teams and enterprises managing mixed AI provider contracts who need local-first document and code processing without migration friction.
