## What is Sage?

Sage is an AI assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. All processing — chat generation, image understanding, speech recognition, text recognition — happens locally on your device. Nothing is ever sent to any server.

WHY SAGE IS DIFFERENT
• Fully offline: works in airplane mode
• Zero tracking: no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
• No subscriptions: one-time in-app purchase unlocks every pro feature
• Fully transparent: models are downloaded from public sources like Hugging Face

WHAT'S INSIDE

Smart Chat
• 8 dedicated templates: free chat, translator, writing polish, code review, email draft, weekly report, tutor, brainstorm
• Image understanding (vision model required)
• Document analysis (PDF / Word / Markdown / plain text) with automatic RAG retrieval
• Streaming output, read-aloud, copy, re-edit

AI Tools
• Image Playground: generate images from a sentence (requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence)
• AI Cutout: auto-lift the subject, swap background, or export as 512×512 sticker for iMessage
• Photo Search: find photos in plain language — "sunset at the beach", "dog with a ball"
• Privacy Redaction: auto-detect faces, emails, card numbers, ID numbers; mosaic them in one tap; manual region also supported
• Meeting Recorder: record → on-device transcription → AI summary as Markdown
• Handwriting OCR: scan multiple pages → recognize → AI-polish into clean Markdown
• Live Translation: hands-free two-way conversation, hit the mic and speak

Models & Backends
• Defaults to Apple Foundation Models (auto-enabled on iPhone 15 Pro+ with Apple Intelligence)
• Open-source MLX models supported: Llama 3.2 1B, Qwen2.5 1.5B / 3B, Qwen2-VL 2B, and more
• Models range from 0.7 GB to 2 GB — pick what fits your device

System Integration
• Fully localized: English, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese
• Liquid Glass design (iOS 26+), graceful fallback on older systems
• Home-screen widget for quick access
• Share Extension: send text from any app into Sage
• Siri / App Intents: "Hey Siri, ask Sage to translate this"
