## What is Offline AI Studio?

Offline AI Studio is an experimental AI studio on your iPhone and iPad.

Chat with local models, connect your own API when you want, and explore Offline AI Studio tools — including on-device Python in Power Mode (API models with your own key). It should feel like a capable AI chat, but it’s built as a playground for people who like to experiment: try models, try tools, keep control.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Chat with AI models running on your device
• Download or import compatible local models (including from Hugging Face)
• Connect your own API (OpenAI-compatible, LM Studio, and similar)
• Use experimental tools — including the Python sandbox in Power Mode (API / BYOK)
• Generate images locally with Core ML Stable Diffusion
• Transcribe speech with on-device Whisper and extract text with OCR
• Use AI Tools and Code Lab without an account or required cloud login

OFFLINE BY DEFAULT
Local chat and local models stay on your device.
If you connect an API, requests go to that provider — you choose when.

PRO (OPTIONAL)
One-time upgrade: more memory, custom prompts, personalization, more models & tools.
No subscription. (Your API provider may still bill their own usage.)

GOOD TO KNOW
• Local AI is slower than cloud AI — performance depends on your device and model
• Best on newer iPhones and iPads with more RAM and storage
• Some tools and API features need network when you use them
• Experimental features can fail or produce imperfect results
• Offline AI Studio is not a drop-in replacement for every cloud AI product
• Python in Power Mode is for API models with your own key — not LiteRT or on-device GGUF

HOW TO START
1. Install the app
2. Download a model — or connect your API
3. Chat, explore tools, and build your own setup
