Free forever. Runs entirely on your own machine — nothing here needs an account to install.
Windows
Single installer. Adds a Start Menu entry and an optional desktop shortcut, with a normal uninstall entry in Add or Remove Programs.
Download for WindowsBefore you launch it
After installing, copy .env.provider_keys.example (in the install folder) to .env.provider_keys and fill in at least one of your own API keys (OpenRouter, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenAI). Without that, requests come back with a "missing API key" error — AI Governor routes to the providers you already pay for, it doesn't include its own.
Your key never leaves your machine except to the provider it's for.
What happens after you install
- Run the installer, then launch AI Governor from the Start Menu (or the desktop shortcut, if you checked that box).
- Add your provider key as described above.
- Point any OpenAI-compatible client (OpenWebUI and similar) at
http://127.0.0.1:8421/v1as the API base URL — the API key field can be anything, it isn't checked. - Pick one of the
ai-governor-*models from that client's model list, and carry on chatting as normal.
