A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
About Cress AI and its developer
Who developed Cress AI?
Cress AI is developed by Jvo. Cress AI is a free, independent local-first AI workspace for Windows, with local text chat, English speech and validated desktop actions.
The app and the models are different
Jvo develops the Cress AI app and its workspace experience. Cress AI uses third-party AI models and runtimes, including Qwen and llama.cpp. Their authors retain credit and their own licenses. Jvo does not claim to have trained those models. Cress AI is not affiliated with OpenAI, Google or ElevenLabs.
Local-first, with clear limits
Local inference and speech run on your PC after consented setup downloads. Optional web excerpts and explicit website/search actions use the internet. Check important answers; local AI can make mistakes. The Windows installer is unsigned. See the setup guide, privacy details and current public release.
