Describe your project. Longhand breaks it into tasks, runs AI workflows, and produces deliverables. You review and approve everything.
No vendor lock-in. Runs offline. Free forever.
Based on the AI playbook used by leaders from
Just-In-Time learning mode teaches AI concepts exactly when you need them — inside the project you're already building. No separate courses required.
Save any AI task as a reusable skill with variables, preferred models, and output structure. Run it 100 times without rewriting.
Human-in-the-loop review gates. AI generates, you decide what ships. No autonomous surprises.
Runs locally on macOS with SQLite. Supports offline LLMs. API keys stay in your Keychain. Nothing leaves your device unless you say so.
Longhand isn't locked to a single vendor. Bring your own API keys, swap providers per task, or go completely offline — your choice.
Longhand abstracts providers into fast, balanced, and powerful tiers. Your skills and workflows just ask for a tier — Longhand picks the best available model from whichever providers you've configured.
Use Claude for analysis, GPT for drafting, Gemini for research — pick the best model for each job.
Bundled local model (Qwen) works without an internet connection. Your data never leaves your machine.
Set per-task, daily, and monthly budgets. Route expensive tasks to cheaper models automatically.
From idea to finished deliverable — learning every step of the way.
"Write a 4-part blog series on AI safety." Longhand breaks it into tasks, sets milestones, and picks the right approach for each one.
You type a goal. Longhand creates the project plan.
For each task, Longhand builds a multi-step workflow and runs it using the best model for the job. With learning mode on, it explains what each step does and why — prompt chaining, model selection, output structuring — so you understand the techniques as you use them.
AI does the work. You learn the concepts in real time.
Each deliverable lands in your review queue. Read it, score it 1-10, approve it, or reject it with a note. Learning mode highlights what to look for in each review — building your AI quality judgment.
Nothing ships without your approval. Every review builds your skills.
Your feedback trains the system and your certification tracks what you've mastered. Each project unlocks new concepts, and Longhand adapts to teach you what's next.
Day 1: guided learning on every task. Day 30: you're an AI Operator — certified and confident.
Most AI training front-loads theory you forget by Friday. Longhand flips the model: you learn each concept the moment you need it, inside the project you're already working on.
You start a task
e.g. "Summarize these reports"
Longhand surfaces the concept
"This uses prompt chaining — here's why"
You apply it immediately

Longhand tracks which AI concepts you've used in practice. Your certification progress reflects real skills, not quiz scores.
No exams. No homework. Every skill is unlocked by using it in a real project. Longhand's integrated learning mode tracks what you've practiced — and certifies what you've mastered.
