# Synti Documentation

> A local-first desktop AI agent that connects to your tools, runs skills, and automates work on your machine.

Synti is a native desktop application that runs an AI agent locally on your machine. It keeps your
credentials encrypted on disk, reaches external services only when you connect them, and gives the
agent real tools — data sources, skills, a browser, and document tooling — so it can get work done
rather than just chat.
