## What it is
Skales is a personal AI agent desktop and mobile application that runs locally on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, executing multi-step autonomous goals with access to files, browser, calendar, and email. It supports 15+ AI providers via BYOK or fully local models through Ollama, includes 250+ built-in tools, MCP support, workflows, multi-agent teams, and requires no Docker or terminal.

## Use cases
- automate multi-step tasks on my computer with an ai agent
- run a local ai assistant that works offline with ollama
- set a goal and let an agent work in the background
- automate browser and desktop tasks without coding
- use my own api keys with claude gpt gemini in one app
- schedule recurring autonomous ai tasks
- control my ai agent from my phone
- build multi-agent workflows without a terminal

## When to choose
- you want a private, local-first AI agent that installs like a normal app with no Docker or terminal
- you want BYOK across many providers or fully offline local models
- you need autonomous background goals, scheduled tasks, and desktop/browser automation in one tool
- you want a non-developer-friendly agent usable across desktop and mobile

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source (OSI-approved) license - it is source-available under BSL 1.1
- you need a headless server-side or CLI-only agent framework for CI pipelines
- you want a lightweight library to embed agent capabilities in your own code
- you require team/enterprise cloud deployment rather than personal local use
