Axiom is a runtime for prompts, skills, and AI composition. It gives you a single place to run AI-based tasks on Windows. You can use it to work with prompt sets, skill files, and schema-based AI flows without setting up a full development stack.
Axiom is built to be framework-independent. That means it is designed to fit into different AI tools and setups. It also aims to work well in business environments where teams need a portable tool that is easy to move, install, and manage.
Axiom helps you:
- Run prompt-based workflows
- Load and manage skills
- Use schema-based AI steps
- Keep AI parts organized in one place
- Move setups between systems with less effort
- Use one runtime across different AI tools
If you have used AI tools before, Axiom works like a simple runtime layer that keeps the moving parts in order.
- Go to the Axiom Releases page
- Find the latest release
- Download the Windows file for your system
- Open the downloaded file to run Axiom
If the release includes more than one file, look for the one marked for Windows. Common file names may include .exe, .zip, or .msi.
Axiom is designed for modern Windows PCs. A typical setup works best with:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- 4 GB of RAM or more
- 200 MB of free disk space
- Internet access for first-time setup and AI service use
- A current version of Microsoft Edge WebView2 if the app uses a desktop shell
For best results, use a system with a recent processor and at least 8 GB of RAM if you plan to run large prompt sets or many AI tasks at once.
Open the release page and get the latest Windows build.
If you downloaded an .exe or .msi file, double-click it.
If you downloaded a .zip file, right-click it and choose Extract All, then open the extracted folder.
Windows may show a security prompt. If you trust the release, choose the option to run or open the file.
After the app opens, use the main screen to load a prompt, choose a skill, or start a new workflow.
If Axiom asks for a provider key or model name, enter the values from your AI service account. This lets Axiom send requests to the model you want to use.
Axiom uses schemas to define how AI tasks should run. This helps keep prompts and steps structured.
You can organize prompts in a way that makes them easier to reuse and update.
Axiom can work with skill files or skill packs so you can keep reusable tasks in one place.
You can move Axiom and its setup across systems with less effort than a full app stack.
Axiom is built to work without locking you into one AI framework.
The layout is meant to support team use, shared processes, and more controlled AI workflows.
Axiom is meant to be simple to start with:
- Open the app
- Choose a prompt, skill, or schema file
- Connect the AI provider you want to use
- Run the workflow
- Review the result and adjust the input if needed
If you work with repeated tasks, save your prompt and skill setup so you can use it again later.
Depending on the release, you may see files like:
Axiom.exefor direct launchAxiom.zipfor manual extractionconfig.jsonfor app settingsschemas/for workflow definitionsskills/for reusable task filesprompts/for prompt templates
Keep these files in the same folder unless the release notes tell you otherwise.
Axiom may ask for details from an AI provider. This can include:
- API key
- Model name
- Endpoint or service URL
- Region or workspace setting
Use the values from the provider account you want to connect. If your team uses a shared setup, follow your internal settings for the model and endpoint.
- Keep Axiom in a folder you can find later
- Do not rename files unless you know they are not linked
- Store prompts and skills in clear folders
- Use short file names
- Save a backup copy before you edit schemas or config files
These small steps help keep your setup easy to manage.
- Check that the download finished
- Try opening the file again
- If it is a
.zip, extract it first - If Windows blocks it, use the run option in the prompt
- Check that your prompt or schema file is valid
- Make sure the AI provider settings are filled in
- Confirm that the model name is correct
- Restart the app and try again
- Check your internet connection
- Make sure the API key is correct
- Check the endpoint or region value
- Confirm that your account has access to the model
- Make sure the files are in the right folder
- Check the file type
- Refresh the app view if that option exists
- Keep the folder structure simple
Axiom can fit tasks such as:
- Prompt testing
- Reusable AI tasks
- Internal workflow steps
- Schema-driven content generation
- AI tool orchestration
- Skill-based task execution
- Team-based prompt libraries
It is useful when you want a clear structure around AI work instead of scattered prompts and settings.
This project relates to:
ai, ai-architecture, ai-framework, ai-infrastructure, ai-platform, ai-runtime, ai-sdk, ai-tools, langchain, llm, llm-tools, machine-learning, openai, prompt-engineering, prompt-library, schema, semantic-kernel
A common setup may look like this:
Axiom/Axiom.execonfig/prompts/skills/schemas/logs/
This kind of layout keeps the app and your content in one place.
When a new release comes out:
- Open the release page
- Download the newer Windows file
- Replace the old app files if the release says to do so
- Open the updated app
- Check your settings and run a quick test
If you keep your prompts and skills in a separate folder, updates are easier to manage.
If you just installed Axiom, try this order:
- Open the app
- Load a sample prompt
- Connect your AI provider
- Run a small test
- Save the working setup
- Add more prompts or skills
Starting with a small test helps you confirm that the app and your AI connection are set up right
