About · AZMX AI
AI you can run without surrendering.
AZMX is a small, opinionated team building the AI coding agent for people and organizations who refuse to ship their code, keys, or commands to anyone's cloud. The product is the architecture. The architecture is the bet.
Mission
Make private, local-first AI the default — not the upsell.
Every major coding AI tool is built on the assumption that your code passes through their servers, briefly. For solo developers that's fine. For regulated industries, defense, healthcare, and any team that did the math, it's a non-starter. AZMX is the opposite shape: local-first, BYOK or offline, with the trust floor identical on Free and Enterprise.
What we believe
Five convictions the product is built on.
- Your code stays yoursYour code and files stay on your computer. When you use AZMX Cloud (AZMX Auto), the messages you send to the AI pass through AZMX's gateway to our cloud AI provider to get an answer; we don't sell them or train on them. With your own key, requests go to that provider. With Local-Only mode on, nothing leaves your computer.
- Trust is a structure, not a sloganPer-call approval, secret-path screen, hash-chained audit log — these are baked in, not bolted on. Same on Free and Enterprise. The wrapper changes; the floor doesn't.
- No per-call markupCoding with AZMX Auto is free (fair use: 10M tokens a day, plus a one-time 108M-token grant). Bring your own key and you pay your provider directly — we add nothing on top.
- Native beats ElectronFast to start. Real PTY terminal, not a wrapped xterm-in-a-tab. The desktop tier deserves a desktop tool.
- Free should be the floor, not the funnelAZMX Free has the full agent. Forever. Not a trial. Not a feature-gimped version. Paid tiers exist for operational control, not as a coercion to upgrade.
The honest answer to "why does AZMX exist?" is that procurement reviews of cloud AI tools kept failing for the same architectural reason. So we built the architecture that makes them pass.
Founding team · AZMX AI
The team
Small, senior, distributed.
AZMX is a deliberately lean team — engineers, designers, and one person who reads every security advisory in the ecosystem. We hire for taste and for the bias to ship without surrendering correctness.
Where we are
Open, distributed, async-first.
Work on the local-first AI bet.
We're hiring across engineering, security, design, and developer relations. Distributed. Async. Senior.
