KernelAI - Offline AI Chat

KernelAI 2.0 is the biggest update we have ever shipped, and it did not come from a roadmap, it came from you. Every piece of feedback, every feature request, every "please just add this" got read, and this release is the answer. We rebuilt the app to feel native from the ground up: a new navigation drawer, smoother streaming, cleaner chat, and dozens of fixes you will feel the moment you open it, even before you notice a single new feature. What is actually new: • Chat with PDFs, DOCX, CSVs, Markdown, and text files on-device • Ask questions about photos, screenshots, charts, and diagrams with vision models • Choose from 50+ device-matched models, including Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4 • View generated thinking output from supported reasoning models • Dictate prompts with voice input • Organize work with folders, search, branching, custom prompts, and export • Ask KernelAI from Siri and Shortcuts on supported iOS 26 devices • Reliability, performance, and accessibility improvements throughout Download a model once, then test local chat in Airplane Mode.
