## What is SilicIA?

SilicIA is a private AI assistant that runs entirely on your Mac — no internet required for inference, no data sent to any server, no subscription.

Powered by local large language models and Apple Silicon, SilicIA delivers fast, intelligent responses while keeping your conversations completely private.

Please note: Apple Intelligence is required for this app to fully work.

--- CHAT ---
Have natural, multi-turn conversations with a local LLM. Ask questions, brainstorm ideas, get summaries, write and review text — all processed on your device.

--- WEB INTELLIGENCE ---
When you need up-to-date information, SilicIA can fetch live web results and synthesise them into a clear, cited AI answer. Get the best of both worlds: real-time web context with on-device reasoning.

--- DOCUMENT ANALYSIS ---
Drop any PDF or image into the conversation. SilicIA reads, understands, and answers questions about your documents with page-precise citations — entirely on-device.

--- PRIVACY BY DESIGN ---
Your data never leaves your Mac. No account required. No telemetry. No cloud inference. Everything stays between you and your device.

--- APPLE SILICON OPTIMISED ---
Built for macOS and optimised for Apple Silicon. SilicIA runs local models efficiently, making powerful AI accessible without a GPU server.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Chat with a local AI — fast, private, always available
• Search the web and get AI-synthesised summaries with source links
• Ask questions about PDFs, reports, contracts, and images
• Combine web context with your documents in one conversation
• Switch between English and French interfaces

SilicIA puts you in control of your AI — no cloud dependency, no hidden costs, no privacy trade-offs.
