Hey AI is a free AI chat app that runs on your device. No account, no API key, no subscription. Just open it and ask. Answers come from the on-device model of Apple Intelligence, so replies are fast with no server to wait for, and chatting works even offline. For questions that need the latest information, Hey AI searches the web. ■ FREE, NO SIGN-UP No account to create and no API key to set up. Start talking the moment you open the app. ■ FAST, EVEN OFFLINE Answers are generated by the AI on your device. With no server to wait for, replies come quickly, and you can keep chatting on a plane or wherever there's no signal. Your conversations are never used to train AI, and your chat history stays on your device. ■ UP-TO-DATE ANSWERS FROM THE WEB For questions that need current information, like "What's the weather in New York tomorrow?" or today's exchange rate, Hey AI can search the web with your permission and answer with sources you can open. Only short search keywords are sent, never your full conversation. You can turn this off anytime in Settings. ■ ASK ABOUT PHOTOS (iOS 27 or later) Attach a photo and ask "What is this?" or "How do I cook this?" Photos never leave your device. ■ TALK WITH SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Say "Hey Siri, Hey AI" to ask without opening the app. After the answer, say "Continue" to keep the conversation going. Chats are searchable in Spotlight too. ■ SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Hey AI answers in the language of your message. You can also choose a fixed answer language in Settings. ■ EASY TO USE • Answers appear as if they're being typed, and you can stop them anytime • Get started with example questions • Follow-up questions understand the conversation so far • Keep a history for each chat and delete what you don't need ■ GREAT FOR • Writing and rewriting emails and messages • Summarizing and translating text • Recipes, ideas, and everyday questions • Quick facts, weather, and news from the web ■ REQUIREMENTS A device that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iPad and Mac with M1 or later, and more) running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings. Asking about photos requires iOS 27 or later. Note: AI answers and information from the web may be inaccurate. For important decisions about health, legal, or financial matters, please consult a professional.

Experience the multilingual power of Cohere Labs Tiny Aya models directly on your own hardware. Tiny Aya Mobile is an unofficial app that lets you run local inference with the Tiny Aya model series in a privacy first environment. Whether you need a conversational assistant or a translation tool you can process text offline without depending on cloud APIs or sending your data to external servers. The app acts as a unified hub where you can load and switch between four Tiny Aya model variants. Each model is designed for different language regions. Global: A general multilingual model built to support a wide range of languages from around the world. Fire: Optimized for South Asian languages and built to support regional linguistic diversity and nuance. Earth: Focused on African languages and their unique linguistic structures. Water: Designed for high quality translation and localized chat within its supported regional language cluster. Note: This is an unofficial app. It was not directly released by Cohere Labs. It was independently released by me as a regular member of the Cohere Labs community.
