it runs on your computer.
it shows you what it did.
AI that does the whole job — and shows its work.
Free, open-source personal AI. Local or cloud models, real tools — and a record of what actually happened.
Ask for five things.
Get five answers.
Most assistants answer the easy fragment and quietly forget the rest. VOOL splits a complex request into individual demands and tracks each one to an explicit end state — so a request is either done, or you know exactly which part isn’t.
Nothing disappears into a vague summary.
terminal states — every demand reaches exactly one
- completed
- finished, verified, evidence attached
- refused
- declined by a rule — or waiting on you
- failed
- attempted, with a typed reason
- unresolved
- still open, still tracked
no fifth option.
The answer shows
its work.
VOOL separates what actually ran from what was merely proposed. Which tools, which sources, which actions produced the answer — all inspectable. Claims about current information don’t publish unless retrieved evidence supports them.
proof belongs to the turn
that earned it.

Any model.
One contract.
VOOL is not a model and doesn’t lock you to one. Run local models for private, zero-cost work; add free or paid cloud models when you want more power. The tools, the rules and the receipts stay exactly the same.
local
private by default
zero cost
free cloud
optional
when you choose
paid cloud
more power
only if you want it
one tool system
one safety system
same receipts
No subscription. No mandatory cloud. MIT.
Anything can propose.
Only you approve.
Sensitive actions require your explicit permission. Skills, plugins and connected tools pass through the same gates as the model itself — no side doors.
council mode
Ask several models to challenge one another. Their seats are isolated from your working tree, and their attempts are tracked like everything else. The conclusion is stronger than any single voice.
Undo for
real work.
Chat history restores the conversation. Blackbox restores the files. Every authorized workspace change is journaled — inspect any change, or roll back to the exact previous bytes.
An agent that can’t be undone isn’t a tool. It’s a risk.

Built to be audited.
The landing page tells you what VOOL does. The docs tell you how — with the implementation status of every item below.
- MIT · model-agnostic · provider-agnostic
- local-first architecture, optional cloud escalation
- one normalized tool protocol across model dialects
- filesystem · shell · Git · tests · browser · research · MCP · plugins · skills
- typed turn lifecycle — request → demands → routing → execution → verification → publication
- every demand reaches an explicit terminal state
- one permission & effect authority for real-world actions
- receipts and failures recorded, not hidden in model prose
- evidence bound to the exact turn that retrieved it
- hash-chained Blackbox journals · byte-exact rollback
- typed fault catalog · privacy-clean diagnostics
- credential classification, redaction, encrypted storage, scoped binding

AI can write anything.
- 002
Finishing the whole job — every part, honestly accounted for — is the hard part.
- 003
So we built the part that finishes.
VOOL is free and open source. It runs on your machine, respects your rules, and keeps the receipts. If that sounds like how software should behave — it’s because it is.
— VOOL
Your models. Your machine.
Every action accounted for.
