Jan Team Handbook

; import Steps from ’@/components/Steps.astro’;

Jan’s Handbook is inspired by Posthog and Gitlab. Thank you for showing us the way 🙏

This handbook explains how Jan 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, constantly evolving as we build the future of AI ownership.


We’re building superintelligence that:

  • Works anywhere: From your laptop to your data center
  • Belongs to you: Download it, own it, modify it
  • Scales infinitely: One person or ten thousand, same platform
  • Improves constantly: Community-driven development

This isn’t just about making AI accessible. It’s about ensuring the most transformative technology in human history can be owned by those who use it.


“The future of AI isn’t about choosing between local or cloud. It’s about having both, and everything in between, working perfectly together.”
