    <p>
      MindWork AI Studio is a free desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It provides a unified user interface
      for interaction with Large Language Models (LLM). AI Studio also offers so-called assistants, where prompting
      is not necessary. You can think of AI Studio like an email program: you bring your own API key for the LLM of
      your choice and can then use these AI systems with AI Studio.
    </p>
    <p>Key advantages:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Free of charge: The app is free to use, both for personal and commercial purposes.
      </li>
      <li>
        Democratization of AI: MindWork AI Studio runs even on low-cost hardware, including
        computers such as Raspberry Pi. This makes the app and its full feature set accessible
        to people and families with limited budgets. You can start with local LLMs or use
        affordable cloud models.
      </li>
      <li>
        Independence: You are not tied to any single provider. Choose the providers that best
        suit your needs, including OpenAI, Perplexity, Mistral, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI,
        DeepSeek, Alibaba Cloud, OpenRouter, Hugging Face, Groq, Fireworks, Helmholtz, GWDG,
        and self-hosted models.
      </li>
      <li>
        Assistants: Use ready-made assistants for common business and other tasks without writing prompts yourself.
      </li>
      <li>
        Unrestricted usage: Unlike services that impose limits after intensive use, MindWork
        AI Studio lets you use provider APIs without restrictions imposed by the app.
      </li>
      <li>
        Cost-effective: You only pay providers for what you use, which can be cheaper than a
        monthly subscription when used infrequently. For intensive usage, API costs may be
        higher, so you should monitor your provider accounts and use prepaid credit or cost
        limits when available.
      </li>
      <li>
        Privacy: Control which providers receive your data using provider confidence settings
        and assign different protection levels to different tasks.
      </li>
      <li>
        Flexibility: Choose the provider and model best suited to your current task.
      </li>
      <li>
        No bloatware: The app requires little storage and memory and has minimal impact on
        system resources and battery life.
      </li>
    </ul>
