Use tool ↗About Anna
Anna is a general AI assistant built as two halves that work together: a local agent you install on macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel), Windows or Linux, which the vendor says keeps your data on your own machine, and a cloud platform that orchestrates tasks. The web front page opens straight into a chat with a model picker, tools and skills called up with an at-sign, connected apps with a hash, and a choice between continuous memory and a fresh session. The stated scope covers research and analysis, content generation, coding and workflow automation. Paid subscriptions exist, but the pricing page sits behind a login. The terms name Talentsec Technology (Hong Kong) Limited as owner.

Pros & cons of Anna
Anna's distinguishing pitch is a local agent with memory that persists across sessions, paired with a cloud orchestration layer, rather than a purely cloud-hosted chatbot. The terms now name a Hong Kong company as owner, but prices sit behind a login, so you cannot see what it costs once past the free use before signing up.
Pros
- Runs as a local agent across macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux, not just a web app
- Reachable through Telegram, WeChat, and WhatsApp in addition to native apps
- Delegates tasks to specialized sub-agents rather than handling everything in one general model, per its own description
Cons
- The only company detail is a Hong Kong entity named in the terms; no address or team is shown on the about page
- Pricing page sits behind a login, so plan prices cannot be compared before signing up
- A downloadable agent with broad task permissions is a harder trust decision than a purely web-based tool
Best for
- Users who want an assistant that keeps context across macOS, Windows, Linux, and mobile rather than resetting per session
- People who already message through Telegram, WeChat, or WhatsApp and want the assistant reachable there
Not for
- Anyone who needs to see a pricing table before installing a local agent with broad task access
- Users who only want a browser-based tool with no download
Watch out: The local agent gets code, research and data-analysis permissions on your machine, and the terms include mandatory arbitration and a class-action waiver; read them before granting broad access.
