Local free, this machine
—Anyone running their own node can point it at their own locally-hosted models too -- see Brain in Settings.
Runs on your device, in this tab. Answers ordinary questions but can't browse, read email, or use any of Anvella's tools -- those need a real account. First use downloads the model once; after that it's cached in this browser.
Quick thinking —
Groq and Mistral -- fast, low-cost providers for everyday turns the local model can't handle alone.
Deep thinking / coding —
Claude and GPT's frontier tier -- reached only once the free tiers have genuinely struggled, and gated behind your approval. Change which model in Settings → Providers & routing.

Workspaces
Each project keeps its own tasks and notes. Memory marked global is shared across all of them, so it never forgets who you are just because you switched context.

Where your assistant thinks
This runs on your own hardware, not the machine hosting this console. Point it at your Ollama, or give it your own Anthropic key — whichever you have. Your key is encrypted with your login code, so nobody here can read it, including whoever runs this server.

Free local models
All free, all local, all through Ollama. Tool reliability — whether it actually does what you ask rather than saying it did — matters more than speed, and no leaderboard reports it.

Goals
What each project is working towards. This is what the autonomous loop steers by — with no goals it has nothing to notice drifting. They are markdown checkboxes in your vault, so you can edit them in Obsidian and Anvella will agree.

What it knows about you
Durable facts, shared across every project — a thing learned once should not need re-teaching because you switched context. Stored as plain bullets in your vault.

Background
What Anvella takes as given about you and your business, read at the start of every conversation. This is an ordinary note in your vault — — — so you can edit it here or in Obsidian. Only the bullet points are read; everything else on the page is for you.
Conversation history
Every exchange, written into your vault as it happens. Anvella can search this itself — ask it what you discussed last week.

Skills
Everything Anvella can actually do. Tools are offered to the model on every turn, so this list is a latency budget as much as a capability list — the lean set is what earns its prompt cost.
| Skill | Offered | What it does |
|---|
Practices
What Anvella consults before answering a how-should-I question, so the answer is a checked approach rather than a guess. Looked up only when something asks — none of this sits in the prompt. Your own notes go in the vault and win over the shipped ones; nothing personal ever ships.
Browser and desktop control
Anvella drives a browser of its own — never your everyday one, and only sites you have allowed. These are the pieces that needs. Nothing is downloaded unless you press a button.
The free stack
One open-source model for every job Anvella has. Nothing here is downloaded automatically — these are gigabytes, so installing is your choice. Licence is a shipping decision: several well-known models are not free to use in a product you sell, and those are flagged.
| Job | Model | Runs on | Size | Licence | Install |
|---|
Access codes
Everyone who can reach this console needs a code. Each one gets its own vault, journal, tasks, memory, spend cap and assistant — nothing is shared. A code is shown once, when it is issued, because only its hash is kept here.

A real workbook — every number on the Summary sheet is a formula, not a paste. Federal + self-employment tax, and state tax for the four verified states only; anywhere else shows as unsupported rather than a guessed number. An ESTIMATE, never tax-filing software.

Link the systems your business runs on. Each key is stored on this machine and never leaves it, and nothing here can move money — every connector is read-only. Paste keys yourself; they are never shown again once saved.

Effort
More effort is slower. This is not a free quality slider — it moves the model that answers and how much context it prefills, and both are measured latency.
Cost
Local models are free and answer everything by default. A paid provider is reached only on purpose — asked for by name, local down, or the router escalating on real evidence — and never past the cap.

Usage across your accounts
Your own spend has no cap — this is cumulative, by provider, plus what each customer account has used this month.

Providers & routing
Four rungs: free local models, then an interchangeable cheap tier, then Claude Sonnet, then Claude Opus. Each rung is reached only when the one below it has demonstrably struggled — see the reason on the last answer below.
Email alerts
Warns a customer account by email the first time it crosses 80% or 90% of its own monthly cap — only if that account has an email on file (Codes tab) and only once per threshold, per month. Off until both are filled in and switched on.
For Gmail: Google Account → Security → 2-Step Verification → App passwords — a 16-character password scoped to just this, not your real Gmail password. Any other SMTP provider's own credentials work the same way. Stored in this machine's own settings file, same as everything else on this page — not the encrypted-per-account store the Codes tab secrets use.
