Big, annoying project?
Put it in one place.
Projelli is a desktop AI workspace for indie founders. Sketch a launch plan, write a pricing page, draft a pitch deck, run weekly reviews — every chat with the AI drops the actual file into your project folder. Runs on your machine, stays on your machine.
Pricing locks in for the first 100 buyers. Be one of them.
Vision
A local-first project planner for indie founders who want AI as a co-pilot, not a replacement.
Every conversation produces real files. Nothing lives in someone else's cloud.
A workspace for the messy projects
From the first vague idea to the version you actually launch, Projelli keeps every piece of a project in one place you can come back to.
AI chat that turns into real files
The chat is not a throwaway window. Every conversation leaves behind documents you can edit, rename, and come back to, the same way you would with any other file on your computer.
Lives on your machine
Your files stay on your hard drive. No account, no sync, no cloud. Works on a plane, in a cabin, on a couch with the Wi-Fi unplugged.
Markdown editor
A proper Markdown editor with wiki-style links, automatic backlinks, split panes, and a live preview. Build out a second brain if you want one.
Version history
Every edit is saved. Undo, redo, and a diff view so you can experiment without worrying about losing the version you actually liked.
Pick your own model
Bring your own API keys for Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini. Switch between them per conversation. If one of them gets worse, you are not stuck with it.
Research & citations
Projelli keeps a running list of the sources and citations behind every document, so when someone asks you where a number came from, you can actually answer.
💬 AI Chat Interface
Chat that leaves something behind
Most AI chats evaporate the moment you close the tab. In Projelli, every conversation drops real documents into your project folder: plans, research notes, character sheets, strategy guides. Edit them inline, keep old versions, link them to the rest of your notes.
- Documents get saved to your folder, not buried in chat history
- You can see what the AI did and walk it back
- Follow-up prompts rewrite the document in place
- Export to Markdown or PDF whenever you want
🔗 Connected Knowledge
[[Pricing Strategy]] needs to anchor against [[Notion AI]] but undercut on lifetime value.
A workspace that keeps your thoughts connected
Any document in Projelli can link to any other. Wiki-style links, automatic backlinks, and full-text search across the whole project. Split panes let you keep one file open while you write in another, which is how most people actually work.
- [[Wiki-links]] between any two documents
- Automatic backlinks so nothing gets orphaned
- Split-pane editing
- Full-text search across your whole project

15 founder workflows, ready to run
Each one is an interview-driven workflow that asks you the right questions and produces the documents you actually need. No staring at blank pages.
New Business Kickoff
Vision, PRD, and Lean Canvas from one founder interview. The fastest way to get a fuzzy idea into shape.
Competitor Analysis
Map the landscape, find the gaps, and understand where you actually win against existing alternatives.
Customer Persona
Who are you really building for? Get specific about the person, their problems, and their day.
Pricing Strategy
Work out what to charge, how to package it, and how to talk about it without sounding cheap or scary.
Go-to-Market Plan
Channels, tactics, and the first six months of distribution. Concrete enough to actually execute on Monday.
Pitch Deck
An outline and narrative for the deck, structured the way investors actually want to hear it.
Content Strategy
Pick the channels, the cadence, and the topics. Stop posting random stuff and start building something.
User Interviews
Scripts, screeners, and outreach for talking to users. The interview prep that makes the actual call useful.
MVP Scope
What's in the first version, what gets cut, and what to ship next. The brutal scope conversation, on paper.
Financial Model
A simple spreadsheet model: cost structure, runway, scenarios. Enough to make a decision, not so much that you avoid building it.
Landing Page Copy
Headline variants, sections, FAQs, and CTAs. The copy that goes on the homepage when you finally write it.
Weekly Review
What got done, what didn't, what to focus on next week. The 15-minute Friday ritual that compounds.
Investor Update
Monthly or quarterly update with metrics, wins, losses, and asks. Honest, brief, and actually useful.
Board Meeting Prep
Time-boxed agenda, pre-read briefing, decisions queue. Walk in with a plan and walk out with a vote.
First Hire Playbook
Job description, interview rubric, and 30/60/90 onboarding plan. The full hiring kit for hire #1.
Three steps to get a project out of your head
No setup, no tutorial. Open the app, pick a template, start typing.
Pick a template
Start from one of the 15 founder templates or a blank project. Each template already knows the documents you probably need and helps you fill them in.
Talk to the AI
Describe the project in your own words. The AI asks a few follow-up questions, then drafts the documents you would have written yourself if you had two extra hours.
Edit and link
Fix up the drafts in the Markdown editor, link related notes with wiki-links, and keep iterating until the whole project sits in one place you trust.
Pay once. Own it.
No subscriptions. No usage limits. No surprises. Bring your own API keys for Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini and pay your AI provider directly — Projelli takes nothing out of your inference budget.
