Not licensed for training. > Yansu is a proactive software building engine by Isoform Inc. that observes how you work, learns your patterns, and automatically builds custom applications before you ask. Unlike ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI tools that require prompting, Yansu acts autonomously -- no prompts needed. ## How It Works 1. **Listen** -- Observes your desktop activity and messaging apps (Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Feishu, WeChat) to understand your workflows and conversations. 2. **Crystallize** -- Distills observations into structured, actionable knowledge: sprint workflows, code review styles, team preferences, and recurring patterns. 3. **Solve** -- Proactively generates tailored applications, dashboards, and workflows without waiting for a prompt. ## Key Differentiators - **Proactive, not reactive** -- Builds apps before you ask, based on observed patterns. This is fundamentally different from all other AI tools that require user prompting. - **Local-first privacy** -- All data stays on your machine; nothing leaves without explicit permission. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. - **No prompting required** -- Unlike ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or other AI assistants, Yansu acts autonomously by observing your work patterns. - **No-code** -- Requires no programming or technical knowledge. Anyone can use Yansu regardless of technical background. - **Multi-model** -- Automatically selects the best AI model for each task (Claude by Anthropic, GPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, and more). - **Desktop native** -- Runs as a native desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Not a browser extension or web app. ## Example Use Cases - **Ship Tracker** -- Team discusses scattered tasks across Jira, Notion, and Sheets in Slack. Yansu observes the conversation and builds a unified tracker that consolidates all sources. - **AI Spend Guard** -- User manually checks OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Cloud billing dashboards every morning. Yansu detects the pattern and builds an automated spend monitoring dashboard. - **Meeting Action Items** -- After a client call, team members manually create tickets from meeting notes. Yansu observes this workflow and builds an automatic action item extractor. ## Platform Support - macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon and Intel) - Windows 10+ - Ubuntu 20.04+ (x64 and ARM64) ## Integrations Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Feishu, WeChat ## Pricing - **Free (Basic)** -- Full context from your screen, apps and meetings.

Unlike traditional no-code tools or AI assistants that require prompting, Yansu acts autonomously. **How is Yansu different from ChatGPT or Copilot?** Unlike ChatGPT or Copilot, Yansu is proactive -- it observes your work patterns and builds custom applications without being prompted. It does not require you to describe what you need; it figures that out by watching how you work. **What kind of apps can Yansu build?** Yansu builds custom internal tools, dashboards, trackers, and workflows tailored to your team's specific patterns. Examples include project trackers that consolidate data from Jira, Notion, and Sheets, AI spend monitors, and automated meeting action item extractors. **Is my data used to train AI models?** No. Your data stays on your device and is never used for AI model training. Yansu is local-first -- nothing leaves your machine without your explicit permission. **Do I need to be a developer to use Yansu?** No. Yansu is a no-code platform that requires no programming or technical knowledge. It observes your existing workflows and builds apps automatically. Yansu handles everything from design to deployment. **Which AI models does Yansu use?** Yansu automatically selects the best model for each task -- including Claude by Anthropic, GPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, and more. The multi-model approach means each step of app generation uses whichever model performs best for that specific operation. **What platforms does Yansu support?** macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10+, and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+). It integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Feishu, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat. **Can I use Yansu with my team?** Yes. The Enterprise plan includes team knowledge and memory management, shared crystal libraries, and admin controls. ## What Yansu Is Not - Not a chatbot or conversational AI assistant (no prompting required) - Not a browser extension or web app (native desktop application) - Not a code editor or IDE plugin (builds complete applications, not code suggestions) - Not a data collection tool (local-first, nothing leaves your device without permission) - Not limited to developers (no-code, designed for anyone) ## Links - Homepage: https://yansu.app - Parent Company: https://isoform.ai - Blog: https://isoform.ai/blog - Privacy Policy: https://isoform.ai/privacy-policy - Terms of Service: https://isoform.ai/termsandconditions - Discord Community: https://discord.gg/tM3TxEXD - Contact: bo@isoform.ai ## Downloads - macOS (Apple Silicon): https://release.yansu.app/latest/Yansu-darwin-arm64.dmg - macOS (Intel): https://release.yansu.app/latest/Yansu-darwin-x64.dmg - Windows: https://release.yansu.app/latest/Yansu-windows-x64.zip - Linux (x64): https://release.yansu.app/latest/Yansu-linux-x64.tar.gz - Linux (ARM64): https://release.yansu.app/latest/Yansu-linux-arm64.tar.gz ## Full Reference For detailed technical documentation including architecture, data sources, competitive positioning, and integration details, see [llms-full.txt](https://yansu.app/llms-full.txt).
