Newelle is a GTK4/GNOME virtual assistant application for Linux that connects to local (Ollama, Llama.cpp) and cloud LLM providers. It supports extensions, MCP servers, skills, RAG search, voice interaction, and an integrated terminal for executing AI-suggested commands.

Use cases

• run a local AI assistant on my Linux desktop
• chat with local models via Ollama or Llama.cpp offline
• AI assistant that can execute terminal commands for me
• connect an LLM chatbot to Telegram or an API
• use MCP servers and skills with a desktop assistant
• voice dictation and text-to-speech with a local AI
• extend an AI assistant with custom Python tools

When to choose

• you use Linux with GNOME/GTK and want a native AI assistant app
• you want privacy-focused local model execution
• you need an extensible assistant with MCP, extensions, and skills support
• you want AI-driven terminal command execution in a chat interface

When to avoid

• you need a cross-platform assistant on Windows or macOS
• you only want a headless CLI or server-side chatbot
• you need a web-based chat UI for teams
