Introducing Msty Studio Desktop Free

Core power, zero cost. Upgrade when you're ready.

When we first started building Msty, our goal was simple: create a privacy-first AI platform that puts you in control of your data, your tools, and your workflows.

But control shouldn’t come at a price barrier. That’s why we’re excited to release Msty Studio Desktop Free, a fully functional, downloadable version of Msty Studio that gives anyone access to powerful, local-first AI tools without cost or compromise.

Whether you’re an indie developer testing your prompts, a researcher wrangling complex documentation, or just trying to understand what AI can actually do for you, the Free version gives you room to explore, experiment, and build with confidence.

What You Can Do with the Free Version

Msty Studio Desktop Free includes the same core technology that powers our premium version and is built to give you a serious starting point without hidden limits or lock-in.

Use Your Own Models - local or online

Run local LLMs or connect to online ones. You choose where your compute happens, and you stay in control of your data every step of the way.

Connect External Devices with the MCP Toolbox

Need to control a robot arm? Trigger a CLI tool on a remote machine? The Toolboxes Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets you configure secure bridges to external tools and systems with flexible tool calls.

Build Your Own Knowledge

Msty’s Knowledge Stacks let you turn your own documents, notes, and transcripts into searchable, intelligent data sources. They’re perfect for creating research assistants, support agents, or domain-specific AI companions. Want to use online models but not share PII? Scrub PII locally automatically so that you can be assured large online providers aren't absorbing your sensitive information.

Craft Custom AI Personas

Design tailored assistants with their own tools, behaviors, and system prompts. Whether it’s a coding assistant, a writing collaborator, or a joke-telling AI instigator, you’re in charge of how it thinks and responds.

Compare Models in Real Time

With Split Chats, you can ask the same prompt to multiple models — local or online — and compare how they respond. It’s an essential tool for learning, benchmarking, or just plain curiosity.

Why We Made It Free

We believe that powerful AI tools shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls or hidden behind clouds. You should be able to work offline, experiment without fear, and own every part of your workflow, from the models you run to the data you feed them.

This free version exists to empower individuals to explore what AI can really do when it's running on your terms.

We've held this thought with our original Msty application and we are holding true on this as we take a leap forward with Msty Studio.
