What is Stella?
Stella is a personal AI assistant that does the work for you. You ask in one ongoing chat, and Stella uses your computer, browses the web, works with your files and makes images and video, while you keep talking. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and in the browser. Free.
Is Stella free?
Yes. Free — $0, try stella, no credit card needed. Paid plans add monthly usage and image, video, music and 3D: Plus is $20 a month for more usage, Pro is $50 a month for higher usage, Max is $100 a month for highest usage.
Is there an AI that can use my computer for me?
Yes. On Mac and Windows, Stella can see your screen, click, type, open apps and move between windows to finish a task in the apps you already use, like booking a flight and putting it in your calendar. It acts when you ask it to, and on a Mac you grant the usual screen and accessibility permissions first.
Does Stella work on Windows?
Yes. Stella has a Windows desktop app that can use your PC by clicking and typing in your apps, dictate into any app, and listen for “Hey Stella”. Download it from stella.sh or install it with one PowerShell command.
Does Stella work on Linux, Arch or Omarchy?
Yes. Stella has a Linux desktop app with a one-line installer, packaged for Arch and Omarchy as well. On Linux it works with your files, terminal, browser and chat. Clicking and typing inside other desktop apps is on Mac and Windows today.
Is Stella open source?
Yes. Stella is open source under the MIT license, with the code on GitHub. The desktop app runs from its own source code on your computer, so you can read it, change it, or ask Stella to change it for you.
What is a free, open-source alternative to the ChatGPT and Claude desktop apps?
Stella. It is open source under MIT, the Free plan costs nothing, and it can act across your whole computer. It also runs on the same models: sign in with your ChatGPT plan, use Claude Code, or add your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
Can I use Claude Code, ChatGPT or my own API keys with Stella?
Yes. Stella works out of the box on its own models. You can also run it on Claude Code, sign in with ChatGPT to use your plan, or add keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Moonshot, Z.AI, OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot and more. Local models work too.
Can Stella run several AI agents at once?
Yes. Hand Stella ten things and it splits them across agents that work in parallel in the background while you keep chatting. Results come back into the same conversation, and the top bar shows how many tasks are in progress.
Can Stella make images, video, music and 3D models?
Yes, on any paid plan. Ask in the chat and Stella makes images, video clips, music and 3D models, with no extra accounts or setup.
Can Stella browse the web and fill in forms?
Yes. Stella can search, read pages, click through sites and fill in forms in a browser, then bring the result back to your chat.
Does Stella have a phone app?
Yes, on iPhone and Android. Chat with Stella and follow your tasks from your phone, and connect the desktop app so Stella can work on your computer while you are away from it.
Can I talk to Stella?
Yes. Dictation and the “Hey Stella” wake word are on every plan, and on Mac and Windows you can dictate into any app. Read-aloud is on every plan too, and live back-and-forth voice conversation is on every paid plan.
Can Stella change its own design?
Yes. On desktop, ask Stella to look or work differently, like a trading desk or a film editor’s layout, and it rewrites its own interface. You preview the change, click Update to keep it, and can undo it any time.
Can Stella schedule tasks and reminders?
Yes. Ask in plain English for reminders, recurring check-ins or scheduled work, and Stella runs them and reports back in the same chat.
Can Stella work with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDFs?
Yes. Stella creates and edits real documents, spreadsheets, decks and PDFs that open in the apps you already use.
How do I get Stella?
Download the desktop app for Mac or Windows from stella.sh, install it on Linux with one command, get the iPhone or Android app, or open stella.sh/chat in your browser. Free. No credit card, no trial.
