Konxios, a local-first AI operating system that integrates multiple AI models and services, has entered public beta, allowing developers and creators to build and run custom AI agents with privacy controls on their own machines.

What happened: Konxios v0.1.0 is now in public beta as an all-in-one AI workspace. It supports local models via Ollama and LM Studio, as well as cloud services like OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and others. Users can build custom AI agents with specialized skills—code review, security auditing, documentation, data analysis—and run them either locally or in the cloud from a single interface.

Why it matters: The tool addresses a core concern for developers and teams handling sensitive code and data: privacy. Because Konxios runs models and processes locally by default, with Docker isolation for each project and end-to-end encryption for stored data, users retain control over whether their work leaves their machine. This matters especially for teams that cannot risk proprietary code or internal data being sent to external cloud services.

What to watch: The product is free during the beta period. Konxios includes a native Telegram integration for managing tasks and controlling agents directly, with more integrations (Slack, Discord, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Jira) listed as coming soon. Downloads are available for macOS now, with Windows and Linux support coming later.
