The self-learning AI Brain, directly on your desktop
All the power of the major AI models at a fraction of the cost - or free. Chat, generate images and video in the integrated studio, and watch it build skills from experience. Built for power users, friendly for beginners. No subscription, no markup - your keys, your data.
We built an AI app for our community, because we were tired of the BS.
The Beyond is where brands, businesses, and builders come to learn, share, and grow together. Thing is, we didn't want our members to pay 12 different subscriptions, and constantly hit usage limits with all the different AI platforms out there. We wanted to simplify the entire AI and build process, in one app. Here’s what you’ll find inside the app: • Chat's that can automate tasks in Projects • Creative Studio that generates an image, to a movie • Crew that you make out of agentic AI We built this for you.

Try all three! Have a chat, automate a workflow, or generate an image/video, then watch it start learning how you work.
Why Download Basecamp AI?
No subscription, no markup
Bring your own keys and pay providers directly, at cost, only for what you use - typically a fraction of stacking AI subscriptions.
Integrated AI video and content studio
Type a prompt and get images and short video clips, right next to your chat. One app for your content - no design tools needed.
Yours, not theirs or ours
Keys live in your OS keychain, conversations live on your machine. Nothing routes through our servers.
Do you even need more reasons...?
It learns as you use it
Basecamp has a built-in learning loop: it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, and remembers what matters to you across sessions. It gets sharper every day. You literally don't have to remind it, unless you want to.
Every model, one app
Talk to the most powerful frontier models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Deepseek, Grok, Seedance, Nano Banana, Higgsfield, even Chinese models, or run local models on your own machine for free. Swap whenever you like - you are never locked into one provider. I mean...that in itself sounds kickass.
Plugins and skills, built in
Kanban, achievements, and a growing library of skills sit right on the dashboard. The AI Brain comes loaded. We want you to hit the ground running, like the speedster you are!
Ready to join the Basecamp AI beta?
This is a beta - on purpose When your download arrives, try all three: the chat, the image generation, the video generation. Tell us what's rough, what's missing, and what you wish it did - we adapt and update the app to your feedback. Don't get locked in. Let's master this together. Questions, answered What does 'self-learning' actually mean? Basecamp has a built-in learning loop: it creates skills from experience, improves them while you use it, and builds a deepening picture of how you work across sessions. Am I locked into one AI provider? No. Your OpenRouter key gives you every major frontier model through one account, and you can point Basecamp at local models running on your own machine for free. Swap models whenever you like. What does it cost? The beta is free, with no subscription and no markup. You bring your own OpenRouter and MUAPI keys and pay those providers directly, at cost, for what you use - typically a fraction of stacking multiple AI subscriptions. Do I need to be technical? No. Setup is paste two keys and go - we show you exactly where to get them. Power users get a full harness with sessions, cron, skills, and local models; beginners can just chat and create. Where do my keys live? In your operating system keychain (macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager). Never on our servers, never in plain text on disk. What platforms are supported? macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10/11.
