Quickstart

Ten minutes from download to the first thing done. You’ll install owan, connect the AI you already use, and hand it something real.

Install

1. Download owan

   Get it from owan.ai. It runs on macOS 12 or later.

2. Open it

   Drag owan into Applications, then open it. It lives in your menu bar from now on, and wakes up when it’s ready. Nothing to configure first.

3. Say hello

   Tell it your name and what you do. That’s the first thing it learns.

Connect your AI

owan thinks with the AI you choose. Pick the one you already pay for, and you won’t pay twice.

• Claude or ChatGPT: sign in with your plan.
• Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Grok, GLM: paste a key, or one key through OpenRouter.
• Offline: it downloads a model that runs on your Mac. Nothing leaves.

owan says

You can switch any time. I keep everything I’ve learned, whichever AI I think with.

Hand it the first thing

Say it the way you’d say it to a friend. It asks what it needs, does it, and tells you when it’s done.

you    Draft a reply to Anna about Friday. Keep it short.
owan   On it. Same tone as your last email to her?

Press ⌥ Space anywhere to call it, or click its face in the menu bar.

Before anything important

I’ll ask you first: sending, paying, deleting.
