# Fred — Let Fred handle that. > Fred is a personal AI assistant that runs on your own computer. One-time purchase ($99 USD), no subscription, bring your own AI model API key (Claude or OpenAI). Your files, agent memory, and credentials never leave your machine. Made by Six Days West Ltd (Ohio, USA). Fred is local productivity software for people who don't code: a wizard installer, a visual dashboard, and sixteen specialist agents under one coordinator — marketing creative, web pages and landing pages, email and inbox management, research and reports, social media, customer relationships, bookkeeping and invoices, security and approvals, and code and automation. Scheduled workflow presets (Morning Briefing, Security Scan, Code Review, AI Newsletter, Workspace Backup, Research Task) run unattended and report back. You drive Fred from the dashboard or by text over WhatsApp/Telegram: if you can send a text, you can use Fred. How Fred differs from cloud AI chatbots: chatbots are a conversation on someone else's server for $20–29 per month, forever. Fred is a one-time $99 purchase that installs on your hardware — a real dashboard with per-agent permission controls, real-time cost tracking, multi-channel messaging, installable skills (ClawHub catalog), and an Image Generator and Codex coding agent. No vendor lock-in; works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS Bedrock, DeepSeek, Groq, and local models via Ollama. System requirements: Ubuntu-class Linux (x64) with systemd · 1.9 GB download, ~15 GB free disk during install · Node 22 installed automatically · your own model API key · internet connection required. Licensing: $99 one-time, perpetual personal licence including use in running your own business. One machine at a time (reinstall on the same computer covered; to move computers, release the old machine in Fred's settings or via support, then activate the new one). 14-day refund window. Full owner's guide included on your machine from the moment you install. Privacy: Fred runs locally. AI model requests go directly from your device to your chosen provider using your own key — Six Days West never sees them and collects no telemetry. Licence activation is a one-time check (key + anonymous machine-fingerprint hash). ## Pages - [Home](https://letfred.ai/): what Fred does, the dashboard, comparison, pricing - [Terms of Service](https://letfred.ai/terms): licence, refunds, acceptable use - [Privacy Policy](https://letfred.ai/privacy): what we collect (almost nothing) and what never leaves your machine ## Contact - Support: support@letfred.ai - Company: Six Days West Ltd, Ohio, USA
