Built by Stanford's Hazy Research and Scaling Intelligence labs as part of their Intelligence Per Watt research into efficient local AI, it lets models run on-device by default while making cloud usage optional and tracking energy, cost, and latency alongside accuracy. Setup involves installing Ollama, then OpenJarvis via a shell script or WSL2 on Windows. Users can pull and set default models through Ollama, and configure presets via config.toml. The release ships with ready-to-run agent presets including a morning briefing agent (calendar, email, news), a deep-research agent for querying local documents and the web with citations, and a local coding agent that writes and runs Python. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I run OpenJarvis with Ollama for a local AI agent? Install Ollama first, then install OpenJarvis using the install script (curl -fsSL https://open-jarvis.github.io/OpenJarvis/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or via WSL2 or the desktop app on Windows). The installer auto-detects an existing Ollama installation and sets up a starter model, and running the jarvis command starts the assistant. _Anyone assembling a local AI toolchain can track new local-first agent releases like this on daily.dev._ ### How do I set a default model for OpenJarvis with Ollama? Pull a model through Ollama, for example jarvis model pull qwen3.5:35b, then add default_model = "qwen3.5:35b" and preferred_engine = "ollama" under the [intelligence] section of ~/.openjarvis/config.toml. This makes that model the default for jarvis ask commands without specifying -m each time. _Developers configuring local model defaults can follow ongoing Ollama tooling updates on daily.dev._ ### What built-in agent presets does OpenJarvis ship with? OpenJarvis version 1.0 includes ready-to-run presets: a morning-digest-mac agent that builds a briefing from calendar, email, and news; a deep-research preset that indexes local documents and answers questions with web and file citations; and a code-assistant preset that writes and runs Python locally to complete tasks. _Developers evaluating local AI agent frameworks can compare presets like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The Rise of Open-Source Personal AI Agents: A New OS Paradigm](https://daily.dev/posts/the-rise-of-open-source-personal-ai-agents-a-new-os-paradigm-ynboe5ijh) · SitePoint · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Local Agentic AI Workflows with Hermes \+ Ollama](https://daily.dev/posts/local-agentic-ai-workflows-with-hermes-ollama-c1s8tixhh) · Machine Learning Mastery · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build Your Own Private, Self-Hosted AI Applications with Ollama & Laravel](https://daily.dev/posts/build-your-own-private-self-hosted-ai-applications-with-ollama-laravel-wwjzhlkid) · Tighten · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#local-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/local-ai), [#ollama](https://daily.dev/tags/ollama) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/openjarvis-a-local-first-personal-ai-is-now-available-to-run-with-ollama-ollama-blog-rf7qm8fgf) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"OpenJarvis: a local-first personal AI is now available to run with Ollama · Ollama Blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/openjarvis-a-local-first-personal-ai-is-now-available-to-run-with-ollama-ollama-blog-rf7qm8fgf","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/openjarvis-a-local-first-personal-ai-is-now-available-to-run-with-ollama-ollama-blog-rf7qm8fgf"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:20:44.792Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:42:15.256Z","description":"OpenJarvis v1.0, an open-source framework for building personal AI agents that run locally, is now available with built-in Ollama support.
