Modular design: Provides a rich set of pre-built modules and API interfaces, making it easy to extend functionality and integrate with existing systems.

Free tier: The core app can be downloaded and used at no cost, with no cloud service fees or subscription required.
Bring your own keys: You supply your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or free local models via Ollama and LM Studio, so model usage costs depend on your provider.
