Draggy

Draggy is a desktop AI assistant that runs the model on your own computer. It talks to a local Ollama instance, and nothing leaves the machine unless you ask for something that needs the internet — a web search, a page to read, a model to download.

This wiki covers using it and working on it. If you just want to install it and start talking to something, Installation is the page you want.

Using Draggy

• Installation — requirements, getting Ollama, the first launch
• Choosing a Model — what fits your hardware, and how to change it
• Voice Mode — talking out loud, and the settings that matter
• Tools and Capabilities — web search, the browser, files, running code
• Document Library — searching your own files
• Settings — every panel, in order
• Troubleshooting — when something is wrong

Working on Draggy

• Building from Source — development setup and the test suite
• Architecture — how the pieces fit together

What it is not

It is not a wrapper around a cloud API. There is no account and no key, and there is nowhere for your conversations to go.

It is also not magic. A model small enough to run on a laptop is a model that knows less and reasons worse than one running in a datacentre. Draggy tries to be honest about that rather than hide it: it will tell you when it is guessing, and it will search the web rather than invent a version number.
