# BonzAI Desktop

BonzAI Desktop is the complete private AI workspace. It combines creation, memory, training, companions, and automation in one application running from your computer.

## What makes it different

A normal local model runner gives you a prompt box. BonzAI Desktop keeps the work around that prompt useful:

```
conversation and files
→ reusable memory and datasets
→ generations and trained models
→ companions and business work
→ ownership, markets, and contributor revenue
```

You can stop anywhere in this loop. Nothing needs to be minted or published to be valuable.

## Main areas

| Area         | Use it for                                                                                    |

| **Automate** | Smart agents, business teams, and the agent job board                                         |
| **Train**    | Datasets, fine-tuning, validation, and one-click censorship removal for compatible local LLMs |
| **Help**     | Memory graph, model licenses, guidance, and diagnostics                                       |

## Local-first by default

Generation history, companion memory, company records, datasets, and model artifacts are stored locally. BonzAI uses a structured local database rather than treating every feature as an unrelated file or chat.

External actions are explicit. A connector may contact the service you configured. A wallet transaction may publish or move value. P2P inference may involve another provider. The interface identifies those boundaries.
