Lemon AI

Lemon AI is the world's first full-stack, open-source general AI agent designed to run entirely on your local hardware. It provides a powerful, private, and cost-effective alternative to cloud-based agent platforms, giving you complete control over your data and AI-driven tasks. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or business, Lemon AI empowers you to tackle complex projects with confidence and security.

Key Features

🔒 Execute Tasks in a Secure Sandbox Lemon AI operates within an integrated Virtual Machine (VM) sandbox, completely isolating its operations from your host system. This means all code generation, execution, and file handling happen in a secure, contained environment, protecting your personal files and operating system from any potential risks.

🧠 Conduct Complex, Multi-Step Operations Go beyond simple prompts. Lemon AI is a true agentic framework that supports a full cycle of planning, action, reflection, and memory. It can autonomously browse the web for deep research, write and debug viable code, analyze complex datasets, and generate comprehensive reports, all without manual intervention.

🔌 Integrate Your Preferred LLMs You have total freedom over the "brain" powering your agent. Lemon AI runs natively with a wide range of local Large Language Models (LLMs) like Llama, Gemma, and DeepSeek via Ollama, ensuring zero cloud dependency and absolute privacy. For tasks requiring specialized capabilities, you can also flexibly configure it to use APIs from cloud models like GPT-4, Claude 3, and Gemini.

🚀 Deploy with Speed and Simplicity Get up and running in minutes. Lemon AI is designed for rapid deployment with minimal technical overhead. Using a simple Docker command, you can launch the entire application on macOS, Windows (via WSL), or Linux. This streamlined setup lets you focus on solving problems, not on complex configurations.

How Lemon AI Solves Your Problems:

• In-Depth Research & Reporting: Instead of just getting a list of links, you can ask Lemon AI to investigate a topic—like "the evolution of U.S. AI policy"—and it will browse sources, synthesize information, and deliver a structured research report.

• Data Analysis & Visualization: Provide a raw dataset, such as an e-commerce sales ledger or a financial statement. Lemon AI can write and execute the code needed to clean the data, perform analysis, identify trends, and generate visualizations to help you make informed decisions.

• Code Generation & Prototyping: Describe an application you want to build, like an interactive HTML course or a small utility app. Lemon AI will plan the structure, write the code, test it, and deliver a functional prototype, dramatically accelerating your development workflow.

Unique Advantages

• Uncompromising Privacy and Control: Because Lemon AI runs entirely on your local hardware, your data and interactions never leave your machine. This makes it the ideal solution for working with sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information. You own and control the entire process, end-to-end.

• Radical Cost-Efficiency: By leveraging open-source models and local processing, Lemon AI executes tasks at a fraction of the cost of commercial, cloud-based agents—often between 1/10th to 1/100th of the price. This makes advanced AI capabilities accessible without the burden of expensive API calls or subscription fees.

Conclusion:

Lemon AI puts the power of a general AI agent directly in your hands, combining robust capabilities with the security, privacy, and cost-effectiveness of an open-source, self-hosted framework. It’s built for users who demand both performance and sovereignty over their digital environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does "full-stack AI agent" mean in this context? "Full-stack" means Lemon AI provides all the necessary components to function as a standalone agent, from the user interface down to the secure code execution environment. It manages its own planning logic, tool usage (like web browsing and code interpretation), and memory, all within a single, integrated framework that you control.

2. Do I need a powerful, expensive GPU to run Lemon AI? While a GPU will accelerate performance for larger local LLMs, it's not a strict requirement for getting started. The system is designed to be accessible, recommending a modern processor and a minimum of 4GB of RAM. You can start with smaller, CPU-run models and scale up your hardware as your needs evolve.

3. Is Lemon AI completely free to use? Yes, the Lemon AI framework is open-source and free to deploy on your own hardware. You can download the code, contribute to its development, and use it for personal and commercial projects. Your primary costs are your own hardware and any optional, pay-per-use cloud LLM APIs you choose to connect.
