MyAI is a private AI chat app that runs entirely on your device. There is no account to create, no API key to paste, and no subscription. Your conversations never leave your iPhone or iPad. MyAI is powered by Apple Intelligence and the on-device Apple Foundation Model, so it works without a network connection and costs nothing to use. CHAT THAT STAYS PRIVATE • Answers stream in as they are generated • Full conversation history, saved on device • Markdown formatting for clear, readable replies • Works offline — no server, ever SEE WHAT YOU SHOW IT • Attach a photo and ask about it directly • Attach text, JSON, or CSV files for context • Optional on-device tools read text and scan codes inside your images YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE • Add notes, facts, and reference material the model can draw on • Turn individual entries on or off at any time • The model can search your knowledge when a question calls for it AGENTS • Create named assistants with their own instructions and creativity • Switch between them from the chat screen or Settings • Import and export agents as Markdown files SKILLS • Reusable instructions that shape every reply • Toggle them on and off individually • Import and export skills as Markdown files REAL CONTROL OVER THE MODEL • Temperature, sampling strategy (greedy, top-K, nucleus), and seed • Maximum response length and default instructions • One-tap presets: Balanced, Precise, and Creative • See exactly where the model runs and how large its context window is SYNCED WITH ICLOUD • Chats, agents, skills, knowledge, and settings follow you across devices • Stored in your own private iCloud database • Works local-only if you prefer to stay signed out PRIVACY BY DESIGN No analytics.
