PyGPT is all-in-one Desktop AI Assistant that provides direct interaction with OpenAI language models, including GPT-5, GPT-4, o1, o3 and more, through the OpenAI API. By utilizing other SDKs and LlamaIndex, the application also supports alternative LLMs, like those available on HuggingFace, locally available models via Ollama (like gpt-oss, Llama 3,Mistral, DeepSeek V3/R1 or Bielik), and other models like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Perplexity / Sonar, and xAI Grok.
This assistant offers multiple modes of operation such as chat, assistants, agents, completions, and image-related tasks like image generation and image analysis. PyGPT has filesystem capabilities for file I/O, can generate and run Python code, execute system commands, execute custom commands and manage file transfers. It also allows models to perform web searches with the , and .
For audio interactions, PyGPT includes speech synthesis using the Microsoft Azure, Google, Eleven Labs and OpenAI Text-To-Speech services. Additionally, it features speech recognition capabilities provided by OpenAI Whisper, Google and Bing enabling the application to understand spoken commands and transcribe audio inputs into text. It features context memory with save and load functionality, enabling users to resume interactions from predefined points in the conversation. Prompt creation and management are streamlined through an intuitive preset system.
PyGPT's functionality extends through plugin support, allowing for custom enhancements (with multiple plugins included). Its multi-modal capabilities make it an adaptable tool for a range of AI-assisted operations, such as text-based interactions, system automation, daily assisting, vision applications, natural language processing, code generation and image creation.
Multiple operation modes are included, such as chat, text completion, assistant, agents, vision, Chat with Files (via LlamaIndex), commands execution, external API calls and image generation, making PyGPT a multi-tool for many AI-driven tasks.

PyGPT uses the user's API key - to use the GPT models,
you must have a registered OpenAI account and your own API key. Local models do not require any API keys.
You can also use built-it LlamaIndex support to connect to other Large Language Models (LLMs),
such as those on HuggingFace. Additional API keys may be required.
Installation
Binaries (Linux, Windows 10 and 11)
You can download compiled binary versions for Linux and Windows (10/11).
PyGPT binaries require a PC with Windows 10, 11, or Linux. Simply download the installer or the archive with the appropriate version from the download page at https://pygpt.net, extract it, or install it, and then run the application. A binary version for Mac is not available, so you must run PyGPT from PyPi or from the source code on Mac. Currently, only 64-bit binaries are available.
Linux version requires GLIBC >= 2.35.
Microsoft Store (Windows)
For Windows 10/11, you can install PyGPT directly from Microsoft Store:
