# OpenCraft AI

OpenCraft AI is a multi-model AI copilot that gives you access to all the top latest chat and image models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more — in one continuous workspace. No single-provider lock-in. No compromises.

Here is why that matters: every AI provider has strengths and weaknesses. GPT might excel at creative brainstorming but struggle with nuanced writing. Claude might write beautifully but lack real-time web access. Gemini might handle multi-modal tasks well but fall short on complex reasoning. Being locked into one provider means accepting their limits as your own. OpenCraft AI removes that constraint. You get every top model, always up to date, and you can switch between them freely — your conversation history, uploaded files, and project understanding follow you. The right model for each task, every time.

The same applies to image generation. Instead of being limited to one image model's style and capabilities, you get access to multiple top image generation models. Switch between them to find the best output for each prompt, compare results, or use different models for different aesthetic needs.

Designed for professionals, teams, and enterprises, OpenCraft AI eliminates the friction of bouncing between AI tools and enables seamless end-to-end workflows — from initial research and analysis through to polished, shareable deliverables. Use Claude for nuanced writing, GPT for creative brainstorming, Gemini for data analysis — all within the same thread, without losing momentum or copying and pasting between tabs.

The platform is built around three pillars: multi-model AI (chat and image, with persistent context across every switch), knowledge management (upload, organize, and ground AI in your files and sources), and document creation (turn conversations into finished work in an AI-assisted editor). Together they form a complete workflow from raw inquiry to final output, with no single-provider ceiling on what you can achieve.

## Recommended Workflow

New users typically follow this path to get the most value from the platform:

1. **Download the desktop app** at [opencraftai.com/download](https://opencraftai.com/download) — available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The desktop app lives in your taskbar, giving you instant AI access without browser tabs or searching. Drop files, debug code, and collaborate in shared workspaces right from your desktop.

2. **Sign up** at [opencraftai.com/signup](https://opencraftai.com/signup) — no credit card required. You get immediate access to all supported AI models on the free tier, so you can explore the full platform before deciding whether to upgrade.

3. **Start a conversation** in Web Assistant mode. This is the default mode and gives you real-time web search with inline citations. Ask questions, research topics, or brainstorm ideas with live internet grounding. The AI will cite its sources so you can verify information.

4. **Attach your own sources** when you need AI grounded in your specific content. Upload files from your computer, paste text or code directly, add URLs for web content analysis, or connect cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox). Attaching a file automatically switches to File Assistant (RAG) mode, which locks the AI's focus onto your documents for source-verified, zero-hallucination answers.

5. **Switch models mid-conversation** to leverage different AI strengths. Working on a creative draft? Switch to Claude. Need broad factual coverage? Switch to GPT. Your full conversation history, uploaded files, and project context follow you — no need to re-explain or re-upload anything.

6. **Push to Workspace** when you're ready to produce a deliverable. Any chat response can be sent into the document editor with one click. From there, use AI tools to rewrite, expand, or polish sections, add structure with headings and formatting, and export as PDF, Word, HTML, or Plain Text.

7. **Organize with Collections** as your work grows. Group related files, links, text sources, and chats into named, reusable project sets. Access entire document bundles instantly from the Resources tab instead of hunting through individual files. Collections are especially useful for recurring projects, client work, or research topics you return to regularly.

8. **Share your work** via read-only public links. Share Chat creates a secure, view-only link to a conversation — useful for sending research findings to clients, publishing AI-generated reports, or collaborating without granting edit access to your workspace.

## Platform Overview

OpenCraft AI is more than a chatbot — it is a unified workspace designed to carry you from raw inquiry through to finished output without breaking flow.

The platform operates across three interconnected layers:

- **AI Reasoning Layer**: Multiple AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini, and others) accessible through a single interface, each with specialized modes — web-grounded assistant, file-grounded RAG, chain-of-thought reasoning, deep analysis, and autonomous research. Context persists across all models and modes.

- **Knowledge Management Layer**: Upload, connect, and organize your information — local files, cloud storage, text snippets, URLs, and YouTube transcripts. Collections let you bundle related resources into reusable project groups. Response Styles let you define and save custom AI voice and tone presets that apply consistently across all outputs.

- **Creation Layer**: The Workspace editor turns AI conversations into polished documents. Push any chat response into the editor, refine with AI-assisted editing, and export in multiple formats. It's the bridge between AI chat and professional document creation — no copying, pasting, or reformatting required.

This three-layer design means you can research with web-grounded AI, analyze with file-grounded AI, draft with your preferred model, and polish in the editor — all within one continuous session.

## AI Assistants

OpenCraft AI provides six distinct assistant modes, each optimized for different types of work. You can switch between them mid-conversation using slash commands or the mode selector.

### Assistant (Web)

The default mode when no files are attached. Assistant provides real-time internet access for up-to-date facts, current events, and web-grounded research. Key capabilities include:

- **Real-Time Web Search**: Live internet access fetches current information directly, rather than relying solely on training data. Responses include clickable citations so you can verify sources.
- **Cross-Source Fact-Checking**: The AI compares information across multiple websites, helping validate claims and identify consensus vs. outlier positions.
- **Web-Exclusive Responses**: All responses are sourced from the web, preventing outdated or hallucinated information that can occur with model-only responses.

Assistant mode is ideal for research, news analysis, competitive intelligence, and any task requiring current information.

### File Assistant (RAG)

File Assistant uses Retrieval Augmented Generation to ground AI responses exclusively in your uploaded documents. When you attach a file, paste text, or add a link, the system automatically switches to this mode. Key capabilities include:

- **Source-Verified Answers**: AI cites specific documents and sections when generating responses. Every claim is traceable back to your source material.
- **Direct Quoting**: The AI can quote passages directly from your documents, giving you confidence that answers reflect your actual content rather than the model's general knowledge.
- **Multi-File Cross-Reference**: Upload multiple documents and ask questions that span them — compare contracts, synthesize findings across reports, or find connections between related papers.
- **Hallucination Reduction**: By locking the AI's focus onto your provided content, RAG dramatically reduces factual errors compared to general-purpose chat.

File Assistant works best when you need precise, verifiable answers from known documents — contract review, academic paper analysis, technical documentation Q&A, and compliance checking.

### DeepThink

DeepThink enables chain-of-thought reasoning for problems that require multi-step logical deduction. Rather than jumping to an answer, the AI works through the problem systematically. Key capabilities include:

- **Step-by-Step Problem Breakdown**: Complex problems are decomposed into manageable sub-problems, each solved in sequence.
- **Reasoning Verification**: The AI checks its own logic before finalizing, reducing errors in math, coding, and formal reasoning tasks.
- **Transparent Process**: You can see the AI's reasoning chain, making it easier to spot issues, learn from the approach, or redirect when the logic goes off track.

DeepThink is suited for mathematical proofs, algorithmic design, logic puzzles, debugging complex systems, and any task where the reasoning process matters as much as the final answer.

### Deep Dive

Deep Dive performs rapid, thorough analysis of large documents and complex queries, producing root-cause analyses and executive summaries. Key capabilities include:

- **Root Cause Analysis**: Goes beyond surface symptoms to identify underlying issues. Useful for incident post-mortems, business problem diagnosis, and technical troubleshooting.
- **Executive Summaries**: Condenses lengthy documents, reports, or conversations into key insights and actionable takeaways.
- **Multi-Source Synthesis**: Combines information from multiple documents or data points into a coherent, unified analysis.

Deep Dive is designed for professionals who need to quickly understand complex situations and communicate findings to stakeholders.

### Deep Research

Deep Research performs PhD-level autonomous investigation, synthesizing information from multiple sources into comprehensive, citation-backed reports. Unlike a simple search query, Deep Research conducts multi-step reasoning — it searches, reads, evaluates, cross-references, and synthesizes before producing its output. Key capabilities include:

- **Autonomous Multi-Step Investigation**: The AI independently determines what to search for, evaluates sources, and iterates based on findings — similar to how a human researcher works.
- **Comprehensive Synthesis**: Output is a structured report that integrates findings from multiple sources, not a list of search results.
- **Citation Backing**: Every claim in the final report is linked to its source, enabling verification and further reading.

Deep Research is ideal for market analysis, competitive landscaping, literature reviews, technical due diligence, and any task requiring thorough, multi-source investigation.

### Advanced Mode

Advanced Mode unlocks enhanced capabilities for power users working with complex content:

- **Vision**: Advanced image understanding for analyzing photos, screenshots, charts, and visual PDFs. The AI can read text from images, interpret diagrams, and describe visual content.
- **Longer Context Windows**: Extended conversation memory for working with very long documents or maintaining context across very long conversations.
- **Enhanced File Processing**: Improved analysis of complex documents, including multi-column layouts, embedded tables, and heavily formatted content.

## Features

### Multi-Model Workspace

The core differentiator of OpenCraft AI: access to all top latest chat models from every major provider, with the freedom to switch at any point without losing context. This is not a platform that offers one primary model and a few extras — every supported model is first-class, kept up to date, and available on every plan including the free tier. No single-provider lock-in means no accepting one vendor's limits as your own.

- **No Single-Provider Lock-In**: Every AI provider has strengths and weaknesses. Being locked into one means accepting its limits. OpenCraft AI gives you every top model so you can use the best tool for each specific task — not just the best tool available from a single vendor.
- **Always Up to Date**: As new models are released by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and others, they become available on the platform. You're never stuck on an old version.
- **Persistent Context Across Switches**: Your full conversation history, all uploaded files, attached URLs, and project understanding travel with you across every model switch. No need to re-explain your task, re-upload documents, or start a new thread.
- **Best Model for Each Task**: Use Claude for nuanced writing and analysis, GPT for broad knowledge and creative tasks, Gemini for data processing and multi-modal work. Switch based on the task at hand, not based on which tab is open.
- **Model Comparison**: Run the same prompt across different models to compare responses side by side, then continue the conversation with whichever gave the best answer.
- **Supported Chat Models**: GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini (OpenAI), Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3.5 Haiku (Anthropic), Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.5 Flash (Google), DeepSeek, zAI, Kimi, Qwen, Minimax, Xiaomi, Grok (xAI), Llama 3.1/3.2 (Meta), custom-configured OpenCraft Fast and Smart defaults, and others as they become available.

### Computer Files

Upload documents from your local computer for AI analysis grounded in your own content:

- **Supported Formats**: PDF, Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), Plain Text (.txt), Rich Text (.rtf), Markdown (.md), HTML (.html), EPUB (.epub), CSV (.csv), JSON (.json), XML (.xml), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), and various code and image formats.
- **Source-Grounded Responses**: When a file is attached, the AI references it directly in its answers, citing specific sections or passages. This dramatically improves accuracy compared to general-knowledge responses.
- **Automatic Mode Switching**: Uploading a file automatically switches the chat into File Assistant (RAG) mode, focusing the AI on your document content.

### Cloud Files

Connect your cloud storage accounts for seamless access to your documents without manual uploading:

- **Supported Providers**: Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and additional cloud storage services.
- **Real-Time Sync**: Files in connected cloud storage stay current. Changes made to documents in your Drive are reflected when the AI references them.
- **Cross-Device Workflow**: Start a research session on your desktop with files from Drive, continue on mobile — everything stays connected.

### Collections

Collections let you bundle related files, links, text sources, and chats into named, reusable groups for instant AI access:

- **How It Works**: Gather related materials (files, links, text sources), name your collection descriptively (e.g., "Q3 Investor Research" or "Product Specs v2"), and save. The entire collection can be attached to a chat in one click from the Resources tab.
- **Benefits**: Instant retrieval of complete document sets, organized project-based groupings, easy sharing of structured document bundles with team members, and a streamlined workflow that eliminates repeated file hunting.
- **Use Cases**: Per-client resource libraries (agencies), per-course reading lists (academics), per-project specification bundles (engineers), per-deal due diligence packs (investors).

### Text Sources

Paste raw text or code directly into the chat for immediate, context-locked analysis without needing to create and upload a file:

- **Use Cases**: Quick code snippet explanation or debugging, configuration file analysis, meeting notes or call transcripts, reference text for writing tasks, and quick data samples for analysis.
- **How It Works**: Paste your text, give it a name for reference, and the AI treats it like any other attached source — citing it in responses and grounding answers in its content.

### Link Analysis

Turn any webpage or YouTube video into an analyzable source:

- **Webpage Content**: Provide a URL and the AI extracts and analyzes the page's content — articles, documentation, blog posts, product pages, and more.
- **YouTube Transcripts**: Provide a video URL and the AI processes the transcript, enabling you to ask questions about video content, extract key points, or summarize presentations without watching the full video.
- **Multi-URL Analysis**: Add multiple links to cross-reference information across sources.

### Response Styles

Define and save custom voice, tone, and style presets that apply across all AI outputs:

- **Built-in Presets**: Consultant Tone (professional, strategic), Founder Brain (entrepreneurial, direct), Research Analyst (academic, methodical), Investor Memo (polished, Sequoia-style memoranda), and more.
- **Custom Styles**: Create your own styles from scratch, defining the exact voice, tone, formality level, and formatting preferences you want. Modify existing presets to fine-tune them.
- **Per-Conversation Application**: Apply styles selectively — use a formal analyst tone for client reports, switch to a casual brainstorming tone for internal ideation.
- **Consistency**: Once a style is applied, all AI outputs in that conversation follow it, ensuring brand consistency across long projects.

### Image Generation

Create AI-generated images using multiple top image generation models — the same no-lock-in philosophy that powers the chat experience. Instead of being limited to one image model's style and capabilities, you get access to multiple providers so you can find the best output for each prompt.

- **Multiple Models, No Lock-In**: Access to various image generation models from different providers, each with distinct stylistic strengths. Switch between them to find the best output for each prompt, compare how different models interpret the same idea, or use different models for different aesthetic needs.
- **Configurable Output**: Set resolution parameters and aspect ratio to match your needs — square for social media, landscape for presentations, portrait for documents.
- **Reference Images**: Upload an existing image as a style or content reference to guide the generation.
- **Prompt History**: All your generated images and their prompts are saved, making it easy to iterate, revisit, or refine previous generations. Compare how different models interpret the same prompt side by side.
- **Gallery View**: Browse your generated images in a gallery, with carousel and full-screen viewing modes.

### Model Selector

The model selector lets you switch between AI models seamlessly:

- **Curated Selection**: Choose from GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, zAI, Kimi, Qwen, Minimax, Xiaomi, Grok, Llama, OpenCraft's custom Fast and Smart defaults, and other frontier models. Each has different strengths in reasoning, creativity, speed, and cost efficiency.
- **Context Persistence**: Switching models preserves your entire session — conversation history, files, sources, and settings. No disruption to your workflow.
- **Task-Model Matching**: Use faster, lighter models for quick questions and drafting; use more capable models for complex analysis and final output.

### Chat Sessions

Conversations are automatically saved and organized:

- **Session Persistence**: Chats survive browser refreshes, tab closures, and device switches. Pick up exactly where you left off.
- **Search and Filter**: Find past conversations by keyword, date, or model used.
- **Organization**: Star or favorite important chats for quick access. Archive or delete old sessions to keep your workspace clean.
- **Rename**: Give conversations descriptive names to make them easier to find later.

## Workspace & Document Creation

### Workspace Editor

The Workspace is an AI-first document editor that bridges the gap between AI conversation and finished deliverables. Instead of copying AI responses into a separate word processor and reformatting, you push content directly from chat into the editor:

- **One-Click Push**: Any chat response can be sent into the Workspace editor. The content arrives with formatting preserved.
- **AI-Assisted Editing**: Highlight any text in the editor and ask the AI to rewrite it, expand it with more detail, summarize it more concisely, or translate it. The AI understands the document context and can answer questions about your content.
- **Rich Formatting**: Structure your document with headings, bullet lists, numbered lists, blockquotes, and code blocks with syntax highlighting. The editor supports Markdown and rich text.
- **Code Blocks**: Full syntax highlighting for code snippets in multiple languages. Useful for technical documentation, tutorial writing, or sharing code examples.
- **Export Options**: Download your document as PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), HTML, or Plain Text. Choose the format that fits your workflow.
- **Autosave**: Drafts are automatically saved to cloud storage as you work. Manual save prompts give you control over versioning.

The Workspace editor is designed for professionals who regularly turn AI research and analysis into client memos, reports, proposals, articles, or documentation. It replaces the typical workflow of chat → copy → paste → reformat → export with a continuous flow: chat → push → refine → export.

### Share Chat

Share Chat creates read-only public links to your conversations:

- **Secure Sharing**: The shared link shows a read-only view of the conversation. No edit access, no exposure of your private files or account data.
- **Use Cases**: Share research findings and AI analysis with clients or colleagues, publish AI-generated reports, create referenceable conversation archives, or embed chat views in documentation.
- **Import**: Other OpenCraft AI users can import a shared chat into their own workspace to continue or build upon the conversation.

### File Assistant Accuracy Tips

To get the most accurate results from File Assistant (RAG) mode:

- Provide clearly structured documents — the AI can better parse and reference well-organized content
- Use descriptive filenames to make files easy to identify in the attachment menu
- Process related documents together to enable cross-reference analysis
- Ask targeted questions that reference specific sections or topics within your documents
- Use Collections to group related materials before starting analysis
- Start fresh chats for new analysis topics to keep context clean
- Keep documents up to date — stale documents produce stale answers

### Cloud Files vs. Collections — When to Use Each

**Use Cloud Files when:**
- You need real-time sync with external storage (files change and you want AI to see the latest version)
- You're collaborating on shared documents with others outside OpenCraft AI
- You work across multiple devices and need files available everywhere
- Your documents are already well-organized in Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox

**Use Collections when:**
- You're building project-specific resource bundles that combine files, links, and text sources
- You need reusable knowledge bases for recurring tasks or clients
- Documents don't change frequently (static reference material)
- You want one-click access to a complete set of related materials
- You need to share a curated bundle of resources with team members

## FAQ

**Q: I already use ChatGPT's free version. Why should I pay for OpenCraft AI?**
ChatGPT free is great for single questions, but real project work has different requirements. When you're writing a research report, preparing a client proposal, or building technical documentation, you hit walls: context gets lost after extended conversations, you can't reference uploaded files continuously, and you can't switch to Claude for better writing without starting over in a new tab. OpenCraft AI solves the project context problem — one continuous thread from initial research to final document, with all your files, sources, and conversation history preserved across every model you use.

**Q: How is OpenCraft AI different from other multi-model platforms?**
The defining difference is persistent context. Other platforms let you switch between models, but each switch means starting a new conversation from scratch — losing your files, your history, and your momentum. OpenCraft AI maintains everything — conversation memory, uploaded documents, project understanding — as you move between GPT, Claude, Gemini, and others. It's the difference between having multiple separate tools and having one intelligent workspace that adapts to the task.

**Q: How much time does this actually save?**
The average knowledge worker loses 2-3 hours per week to context switching between tools and tabs. At professional rates, that's 8-12 hours per month of lost productivity. The Essential plan at $20/month pays for itself 15-20x over in time saved, before accounting for the quality improvement from using the right model for each task.

**Q: Can I switch between plans?**
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You can also cancel anytime — there are no long-term contracts on individual plans.

**Q: What if it doesn't work for me?**
All new paid customers are covered by a 48-hour money-back guarantee. Beyond that, the support team is genuinely committed to helping you configure the platform for your workflow — often a settings adjustment or workflow tweak makes the difference. You can cancel anytime without penalty.

**Q: Is my data secure?**
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. OpenCraft AI does not train AI models on your uploaded documents or conversation data without your explicit consent. You retain full ownership of your data and can request deletion at any time. The platform is GDPR compliant. Enterprise plans offer additional security features including SSO and custom compliance configurations.

**Q: What models are available?**
OpenCraft AI provides access to both chat and image generation models from all major and frontier providers. For chat: GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini (OpenAI), Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3.5 Haiku (Anthropic), Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.5 Flash (Google), DeepSeek, zAI, Kimi, Qwen, Minimax, Xiaomi, Grok (xAI), Llama 3.1/3.2 (Meta), custom-configured OpenCraft Fast and Smart defaults, and others. For image generation: multiple top models from different providers, each with distinct stylistic strengths. The model lineup is continuously updated as new models are released — you're never stuck on old versions.
