What if your personal AI assistant was actually yours?

Most assistants live in someone else's app: your memory, your workflows and your data stay locked there. AskMojo gives you a personal assistant, Mojo, who remembers your context, runs reusable magiks, and lets you export the whole thing whenever you want.

What a personal AI assistant really is

A personal AI assistant is software that helps you get things done in plain language: answering questions, drafting documents, planning, remembering what matters to you, and running little workflows on your behalf. The good ones feel less like a search box and more like a capable teammate who knows your context.

The catch is ownership. With most assistants, the memory it builds about you, the prompts you refine, and the data you feed it all live inside one company's product. You cannot take that work with you, run it on a different model, or share it as a reusable asset. A personal assistant should be personal in the deepest sense: yours to keep, move and reshape.

Why most personal AI assistants are rented, not owned

Memory you cannot take with you

The assistant slowly learns your context, then keeps it locked inside one app. Switch tools and you start from zero.

Locked to one model

You are stuck with whatever model the vendor picked, even when another one is clearly better for your task this month.

Throwaway chats, not reusable skills

Each conversation is a dead end. The clever prompt you crafted yesterday is buried in scrollback instead of being a button you press again.

Cloud-only, no local option

Everything you say goes to a cloud you do not control, with no way to keep sensitive work on your own machine.

How AskMojo gives you a personal assistant you own

Mojo remembers your context

Your assistant keeps memory across sessions, organized in apps by topic, so he builds on what he already knows about you instead of forgetting every time.

Workflows become portable magiks

Turn any repeatable task into a magik: an open skill.md file you can name, re-run, version and share. Your know-how becomes an asset, not a lost chat.

Pick the model, keep the work

Run the same assistant on Claude, GPT or Gemini and switch whenever one pulls ahead. The model is a setting, not a cage.

Export everything, anytime

One click bundles your whole assistant, magiks, data and outputs, into a portable OKF file. A local AI option keeps sensitive work off the cloud.

A personal AI assistant for work, private and custom

An AI assistant for work and life

Use Mojo as your AI assistant for work: emails, briefs, plans and reports, written in your voice and saved as styled outputs you can revisit. He doubles as a personal AI agent that runs tasks on your behalf.

A private AI assistant

Keep it a private AI assistant: consent-controlled memory and a local AI option keep sensitive work yours instead of feeding a vendor cloud.

A custom AI assistant you compose

Build your own AI assistant by talking to Mojo, no code. Compose a custom AI assistant from magiks, snap in tools, and shape it around your exact workflow.

Borrow from the community

Fork a magik someone else built, snap it into your own assistant, and adapt it to your workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Is AskMojo a free personal AI assistant?

You can start for free. The assistant, memory and magiks are available without paying, and compute usage is what scales with heavier work.

Does the assistant remember me between sessions?

Yes. Mojo keeps memory organized in apps by topic, so he carries your context forward instead of starting fresh every time. You stay in control of what he remembers.

Which AI model does it use?

Your choice. The same assistant runs on Claude, GPT or Gemini, and you can switch the engine without losing any of your magiks or memory.

Can I export my assistant and my data?

Anytime. One click exports your magiks, data and outputs as a portable OKF bundle you can re-import elsewhere. Nothing is held hostage.

Can I run it privately or locally?

Yes. A local AI option lets you keep sensitive work on your own machine instead of sending everything to the cloud.

How is this different from a memory tool like Personal.ai, or from just using ChatGPT?

Memory-only tools keep your context but tie you to their app and their model. ChatGPT and similar assistants keep everything, including your prompts and workflows, locked inside one vendor's product. AskMojo does both: it remembers your context AND turns your workflows into portable magiks you can export as a file, run on any model, and take with you.

Do I have to choose between a general assistant and a specialized one?

No. Mojo works as a general assistant for everyday tasks, and each magik you build or fork becomes a specialized skill for one job. You are not locked into a single mode: the same assistant scales from broad daily help to a narrow, repeatable workflow.
