# Growther.ai > C5 runs 200+ trained AI specialists across 17 divisions on your machine — local-first, encrypted at rest, works offline. You hold the keys. Mothership adds a fleet-wide learning flywheel: proven improvements travel between deployments — scrubbed of secrets and PII, reviewed by the owner, reversible. C5 is a desktop AI harness orchestration platform for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It plans, staffs, executes in parallel, verifies, and reworks — orchestration intelligence, 35 layers deep. Bring your own model: 14+ cloud providers or fully local runtimes (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp). Humans stay in command: autonomy dial, batched approvals, audit trail, provenance, killswitch. Free to download and start; licenses and pricing at https://license.growther.ai. ## Key facts - **What it is**: a desktop application that orchestrates AI agents, not a chat wrapper and not a hosted service. - **Where it runs**: your own machine — macOS, Windows, Linux. The database is encrypted at rest (SQLCipher) and it works fully offline. - **Fleet**: 200+ trained specialist agents across 17 divisions, staffed automatically per task. - **Models**: bring your own — 14+ cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Bedrock, Mistral and more) or fully local via Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp. Your content goes to the provider you configure, under your own account. - **Context import**: reads the Claude, ChatGPT Codex and Google Antigravity sessions already on your machine, converts them to markdown, and indexes them for hybrid keyword + vector recall. Opt-in per tool, refreshed daily, nothing uploaded. - **Human control**: autonomy dial, batched approvals, provenance on every action, full audit trail, killswitch. - **Mothership (optional)**: a fleet-wide learning flywheel. Only proven prompt-level improvements travel between deployments — scrubbed of secrets and personal data, reviewed by the owner, reversible. Never your documents or conversations. - **Price**: free to download and start. Paid licenses (perpetual or subscription) at https://license.growther.ai. - **Company**: CYBRNTK LLC, a California limited liability company, doing business as Growther.ai.
