Get askTheodor.
It installs like any normal desktop app and runs on your machine. Free for 7 days — no account required to start. Current version v0.9.297.
The button picks the build for your computer. Need another? Use the arrow next to it, or take it from the list below.
🍎 macOS
macOS 11 or newer. Two builds, one per chip — take the one that matches your Mac.
Which one do I have?
Apple menu → About This Mac. If it says Chip: Apple M…, take Apple Silicon. If it says Processor: Intel…, take Intel.
Apple Silicon runs the built-in local models on the GPU (Metal). On an Intel Mac they run on the CPU, so they are slower, and the built-in embedding model isn't available — the app points you to Ollama for embeddings instead. Cloud providers work the same on both.
🪟 Windows
Windows 10 (build 1803+) or Windows 11, 64-bit. The installer is code-signed and bundles the WebView2 runtime, so it installs cleanly on machines that don't already have it.

After it installs
- 1 Connect a provider. Settings → Providers. A cloud key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini…) or a local model via Ollama — or use the small built-in model to look around first.
- 2 Build a team. The Company Wizard puts a complete, organised company together in about five minutes.
- 3 Give one worker one real task — something concrete enough to judge. That's the fastest way to know if this is for you.
