Welcome to the unwashed

We build AI tools.
Some of them behave.

The Great Unwashed makes software for people who actually work for a living — developers in terminals, teams in offices, and anyone tired of opening seventeen browser tabs to ask a model a simple question.

Three products. Different problems. Same refusal to use the word "synergy" in a pitch deck.

Terminal AI

A terminal-first AI assistant. It's baked in.

A desktop shell with a real PTY, streaming AI chat, IRC, SSH, and enough sarcasm to power a small datacentre. For developers who live in the command line and want the model to meet them there — not in another SaaS dashboard.

  • Real terminal + local Ollama, OpenAI, or Anthropic
  • Human-in-the-loop command approval
  • macOS, Windows, and Linux

DeskMate AI

Local-first AI chat for your business.

A desktop chat client backed by your own API and database. Run models locally with Ollama, keep conversations on your infrastructure, and let admins manage users, knowledge, and tools from a proper web panel — without shipping every prompt to a subscription you can't expense.

  • Electron desktop app + .NET admin API
  • Knowledge bases, SQL tools, and bookmarks
  • PostgreSQL on your servers

Support MCP

Business context, straight into Claude.

A free Cloudflare Worker that connects Claude to your products via a remote MCP connector — no new app, no per-seat bill. An admin panel lets your team add support, sales, or marketing context; Claude checks it before it guesses.

  • Remote MCP connector for Claude.ai and Claude Code
  • Email + OTP admin panel, one KV store
  • Free to host on Cloudflare's free tier

Who we are

The Great Unwashed is a small company with strong opinions and working software. We don't take ourselves seriously, but we take what we build seriously — which is why Terminal AI comes with disclaimers about Skynet, DeskMate comes with audit logs, and Support MCP costs you nothing but ten minutes of setup.

Pick the product that fits your workflow. Or both. We're not your mum.
