Connect your codebase, docs, project management, analytics, and calendar — and let Jowork work alongside your team 24/7. Self-hosted. No data leaves your server.
ChatGPT doesn't know your codebase. Notion AI can't see your Linear tickets. Slack AI doesn't understand your deployment pipeline. You're left copy-pasting context all day.
Generic AI knows the internet, not your company. Every conversation starts from zero. You spend more time explaining than getting work done.
Existing tools are read-only assistants. They can't create a PR, send a message, run a check, or schedule a follow-up. You still do all the work.
SaaS AI tools ingest your codebase, customer data, and internal docs. GDPR, IP risk, vendor lock-in. You lose control the moment you sign up.
Jowork is different. It runs on your server, connects to all your tools natively, and takes real action — not just gives suggestions.
Jowork isn't a chatbot wrapper. It's a full agent infrastructure built for real business work.
7 native connectors. Jowork reads your full business context in real time.
Don't just ask — let Jowork act. Schedule tasks, react to events, pursue goals.
Three-layer context architecture ensures Jowork always knows the right thing.
Full developer power, no restrictions. Your agent, your rules.
Your server, your data, your infrastructure. Zero vendor lock-in.
Solo use or full team deployment — both work out of the box.
