Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really local-first?
Yes. The platform runs entirely on your machine. Your code, conversations, and knowledge graph never leave your hardware unless you explicitly connect a cloud provider. Zero telemetry.
Which AI providers do you support?
Over 32 providers out of the box, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama, Ollama, and OpenRouter. Switch models instantly without rewriting workflows.
Do I need API keys to start?
No. You can start immediately using local models via Ollama or LM Studio without any API keys.
Is it free?
CEO-in-a-Box is 100% free and open source under the MIT License. No hidden pricing tiers. You can run it, fork it, and build on it forever.
