The product
What is Zen Staff?
A desktop app where AI agents do real work in your files: spreadsheets, documents, posters, replies. On your own Claude or ChatGPT account. You approve what leaves.
How is it different from ChatGPT or Claude?
Chat apps talk and you copy. Zen Staff works in files with real tools and checks itself. It has the power of Claude Code and Codex, without the terminal. More.
Do I need to code?
No. You write what you want, like to a colleague.
Is the code open source?
The desktop app, yes: MIT licence, on GitHub. The hub and company memory you can install free on your own server, under the Sustainable Use License 1.0: self-host.
What does it run on?
Windows and Linux today. macOS, Android and iPhone coming soon.
Money
How much is it?
Personal and self-host: free. Hosted: 29 € per user per month. Pricing.
Do I pay for AI through you?
No. You pay Anthropic, OpenAI or Google directly. We add nothing on top.
Can my subscription serve the whole company?
No. A personal subscription is for your own work. The company server uses a company API key. Why.
Data and security
Where are my files?
On your computer. The agents work there.
Do you read our chats?
No. Team chats pass through the hub end-to-end encrypted.
Where is the hub?
On Hetzner servers in Germany. Encrypted backups in Western Europe. Security.
Do you have a DPA?
Yes, for the hosted plan. Read it or write to [email protected].
Give it the first task. No slop.
Free, on your own Claude or ChatGPT account. Windows and Linux today.
