The Linux of AI
Free Local AI That Automates Your Busy Work
Open-protocol, source-available desktop AI — free forever for local use, safe by design, humans always in the loop.

Example: automating 10 hrs/week of VA-style work at $15/hr saves ~$650/month. See methodology
Is Solace Right for You?
Solace is best for teams and individuals who value control, oversight, and auditability.
Solace IS for you if…
- You’re a solo founder, PM, or small team doing 10+ manual tasks every week
- You believe your time is worth more than repetitive copy-paste work
- You want AI that you control — not AI that controls your data
- You care about evidence, audit trails, and knowing exactly what your AI did
Solace is NOT for you if…
- You want a magic button that does everything without oversight
- You’re happy handing your data to a cloud vendor you can’t audit
- You need real-time consumer features (games, video streaming, social feeds)
- You’re not willing to approve AI actions before they run
Simple Pricing. Total Freedom.
Free forever for local use. Paid plans add managed routing, sync, shared workspaces, and enterprise controls.

How Solace Works (So You Can Trust It)
Your AI Learns & Remembers
First time you ask for something, your AI figures it out (costs tokens). Second time? It remembers. Replays the solution for pennies. The more you use Solace, the cheaper it gets.
You Approve Before It Acts
Your AI shows you the plan. You review it. You approve it. Then it runs. No surprises. No runaways. You’re in control. Every time.
Complete Transparency
“What did it do?” “Why did it do that?” You get answers. Every action logged. Every decision documented. Your auditor, your compliance team, your lawyer—they all see exactly what happened.
It Lives On Your Computer
Local by default. Your workflows stay on your machine unless you explicitly enable managed routing or optional cloud sync. Your AI is a tool you own, not a service that owns you.
Works With Your LLM Keys
Use your OpenAI key. Or Anthropic. Or Llama. Or whatever you prefer. Solace doesn’t care. You control which AI powers it. You control the cost.
It Gets Better Over Time
Every workflow you automate, the system learns. Approved recipes (never your private data) can be shared with the community. Everyone benefits. Your approved workflows become faster and cheaper to replay.
47 Languages, Zero CDN
Solace speaks your language. Fully translated into 47 languages — from English, Spanish, and Vietnamese to Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, and 40 more. All translations self-hosted. Zero CDN. Zero workflow telemetry.
Built-In Quality Checks
Every app and recipe is tested against 47 quality dimensions — covering design, security, accessibility, compliance, and performance — before it reaches you.

How Much You Save: Real Numbers
Every Solace run logs the exact tokens used, the actual cost, and what it would have cost on GPT-4. You see the savings. Every time.
If you used GPT-4o
$0.005/1K tokens
Standard GPT-4o rate. 10,000 tokens = $0.05 per task. At 3 tasks/day = $54/month.
With Solace + Recipe Replay
$0.00035/1K tokens
Open-source models at wholesale rates. Recipe replays use cached results (no LLM tokens, $0.001 infra cost per replay). See methodology.
Your Savings
93% cheaper vs GPT-4o
Model routing to Llama 3.3 reduces token cost significantly. As recipe hit rate grows, replays cost near zero. See methodology.
Sample Evidence Receipt (one Gmail Triage run)
Every run produces a tamper-evident receipt like this. Available in your dashboard. Shareable with your auditor.
Your Savings Grow Every Month
As Solace learns your patterns, more tasks replay from recipes — your effective cost drops month over month. By month 6, most users hit 70%+ recipe hit rate.
Monthly equivalent savings rise from $50 in month 1 to $650 in month 12 as recipe hit rate increases.
| Month | Savings |
|---|---|
| 1 | $50 |
| 2 | $120 |
| 3 | $200 |
| 4 | $280 |
| 5 | $350 |
| 6 | $420 |
| 7 | $480 |
| 8 | $530 |
| 9 | $570 |
| 10 | $600 |
| 11 | $630 |
| 12 | $650 |
<strong>$650/month equivalent savings</strong> = 10 hrs/week automated × $15/hr × 52 weeks ÷ 12. Starting from $28/mo (Pro) — less than 2 hours of VA time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data sent to the cloud?
No. Solace Browser runs entirely on your machine. Your workflows, data, and evidence stay local. Cloud sync is optional, paid-only, and off by default.
What LLM providers are supported?
Bring your own key for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4), or any OpenRouter-compatible model. Or use our managed routing (Starter+) with no API key needed.
How is this different from Zapier or Bardeen?
Solace runs locally (not cloud), costs drop with use (recipes replay for $0.001), provides evidence trails for every action, and uses OAuth3 for secure AI delegation. No vendor lock-in.
What are recipes and why do they save money?
The first time your AI runs a task, it uses LLM tokens. You approve the output, and Solace seals it as a recipe. Every future replay uses the cached result — no LLM call, cost $0.001. At 70% hit rate, your effective cost drops ~69%. At 95%+ hit rate, savings exceed 95%.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts. Cancel from your dashboard. The free tier works forever with your own API keys — all 22 apps, unlimited local tasks, no expiration.
Is Solace open source?
The core framework (Stillwater) is OSS. Solace Browser is source-available under FSL — free to use, code readable, converts to OSS after 4 years.
You Deserve an AI You Can Actually Trust
Most AI tools raise costs, limit auditability, or require cloud trust. Solace is built to address all three.
Lower costs. Transparent evidence. Local by default.
