Jan Handbook

Jan's Handbook is inspired by Posthog (opens in a new tab) and Gitlab (opens in a new tab). Thank you for showing us the way.

Welcome

This handbook explains how Jan (opens in a new tab) works, and is public.

We're building superintelligence that you can self-host and use locally. Not as a limitation, but as a feature. Your AI should work wherever you need it - on your laptop during a flight, on your company's servers for compliance, or in the cloud for scale.

Jan's Handbook is a living document (opens in a new tab), constantly evolving as we build the future of AI ownership.

Why does Jan exist?

• Open Superintelligence - Building superintelligence that belongs to everyone, not just a few tech giants. We believe the future of AI should be open, accessible, and owned by the people who use it.
• Betting on Open-Source Why we're betting on open-source as the future of AI and technology. Open-source has consistently won in the long term, and AI will be no different.
