Why lock-in to one AI provider?
The Axis Workflow™ is the proven way to coordinate multiple AI models and providers on the same project. Everything lives on your computer in markdown files that you control. Each Agent — regardless of whether it is served by OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local LLM — works with the same files and rules as they plan, track, and synchronize your project. Mix models and providers at any time — everything synchronizes and stays with you.

Works with Codex, Cowork, Claude Code, ChatGPT Work, Gemini CLI, Cursor, etc.
01/ Portable
AI vendors want you to stay within their walls. The Axis Workflow, however, is portable-by-design. Axis gives you control over your project, directly from your machine — even as it enforces rigorous standards and practices across the project to ensure reliability and interoperability.
Any model
Axis delegates to the most efficient model to solve a problem. Escalate or switch models mid-project with no migration — everything builds directly from your project folder.
Any platform
Axis works with Cowork, Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Ollama, and every other platform you can access. Interoperability will persist, even as AI improves.
No install
No server, no account, no lock-in. Version your project with git, or sync folders however you like. Drop Axis any time you want — everything stays with you.
02/ Efficient
Granular memory
Axis organizes project memory into notes, ideas, reminders, flags, secrets, logs, and background context. Each datastore serves a different need; everything lives on your disk in plain markdown.
Lightweight processing
Don't load every detail, every time — that's expensive! Axis indexes your records and activity so it can lazy-load just what it needs, when it needs it. That saves you time, tokens and compute.
Persistent history
Axis tracks your entire history in write-once, read many (WORM) events and decisions. Agents know where they have been, and where they are going — and you can audit everything to stay in control.
03/ Disciplined
Standard practices
All Agents work from the same playbook. It doesn't matter who spawned or who hosts the Agent — everything fits and works together as one, unified project.
Rigorous planning
The Axis Workflow orchestrates a comprehensive plan, tasks with status, reminders and follow-ups, and a live dashboard — all so you can easily manage your project.
Cross-examination
Important work is stress-tested by independent Agents to challenge assumptions and expose problems. Decisions and weaknesses get audited, not swept under the rug.
AI is replaceable. Your project is not.
Every AI vendor wants your project to live inside their product. Axis turns that around: the project lives in a plain folder on your disk, and any model from any provider comes to work on it under the same rules. Switch, mix, or leave whenever you like.
