## What is Nomad?

Nomad AI: Intelligent Assistance Anywhere—Even Offline

Nomad AI is a private, on-device AI assistant powered by Meta Llama 3.2. Every conversation stays on your device — no servers, no data collection, no internet required after the initial model download. When you're on your home network, Nomad AI automatically connects to your local Ollama server to leverage your desktop's more powerful models.

Why Choose Nomad AI?

Complete privacy. Zero compromise.

Fully private — Your conversations, documents, and notes never leave your device or local network
Works offline — Perfect for travel, remote work, or when you want to disconnect
Document Library — Import PDFs, scan documents with your camera, paste text, or add photos to a searchable knowledge base organized into collections
Document Q&A mode — Ask questions grounded strictly in your own documents, eliminating hallucinations for research and reference use
Smart Notes — A built-in scratchpad with full Markdown rendering to capture and format ideas on the go
iCloud Sync — Keep your conversation history in sync across all your Apple devices
Ollama integration — Automatically discovers and connects to your locally running Ollama server over WiFi
Model auto-detection — Seamlessly switches between your local on-device model and powerful Ollama models as you move between WiFi and offline
OpenAI support — Optionally add your own OpenAI API key for access to cloud models when connected
Web search — Optional live search integration to ground answers in current information
Custom AI personality — Tailor the assistant's behavior and tone with custom system prompts
Markdown support — Beautifully rendered responses with code blocks, lists, and formatting
One-tap copy — Copy any response in a single tap
Document Library

Import and organize your knowledge base into named collections — work contracts, research notes, product docs, travel guides, anything. Import from PDF, camera scan (OCR), photos, plain text, or files (.txt, .md, .csv, .docx). Enable Document Q&A mode to restrict the AI to answering only from your imported content, ideal for accurate, source-grounded responses.

Perfect For:

Writing and brainstorming on the go
Coding assistance while traveling or at your desk
Researching without internet — ask questions against your own document library
Private note-taking with Markdown formatting
Reliable AI support in remote areas with zero connectivity
Leveraging your desktop's powerful Ollama models on mobile

I love that you can download the AI model to your device and use offline. Works in AirPlaneMode!!!
