Privacy AI is both a chatbot and an agent, and both run on your device. Ask it a question, or give it a goal and it will plan, use tools, and come back with a report. Local models work fully offline, and nothing leaves your phone unless you connect a cloud provider yourself. Agent - Give it a goal and it keeps working across as many turns as that takes, instead of answering once - It plans first, calls tools, keeps its own folder of files, and delivers a written report you can share and reopen later - Suited to work that has to be broken down first, such as deep research, a multi-leg trip, or comparing options - Teach it with Skills: folders of instructions and scripts it can call by name Chat - Set model tiers once (fast, capable, reasoning, local), then just type - Smart Chat routes each message by complexity and privacy, and keeps sensitive text local - Switch local and remote models mid-conversation, keeping context Run Models Locally or in the Cloud - On-device GGUF and MLX models, with vision and tool-calling - Connect to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible server - Apple on-device Foundation Model (iOS 26+) System Keyboard - Bring Privacy AI into any app: dictate by voice, or Process to rewrite, translate, and reshape text in place - Build named pipelines (Polish then Translate) or use presets like Proofread and Email - Types in 11 languages with Pinyin, Japanese, and Korean input Mini Apps - Doc Scanner: turn a PDF, a photo, or a camera scan into clean Markdown, with tables and equations intact - Email Assistant: triage any IMAP inbox on device, with a dated report you can undo one tap at a time - Knowledge Wiki: a cross-linked knowledge base from your documents, with a graph and cited answers - LLM Council: query several models in parallel and synthesize one answer - Custom assistants with instructions, an avatar, and a knowledge base Tools - 60+ built-in tools: web search, news, calendar, code execution, and more - Full MCP support with a marketplace, Siri, and Shortcuts Writing and Voice - Long-form writing assistant that drafts outlines and chapters - Text to Audio: turn a document into a single audio file using on-device voices - Real-time voice chat and live transcription Files and Content - Convert PDFs, Office files, EPUB, video, and audio to Markdown, with OCR - Media Studio: generate images with your provider Accessibility - VoiceOver support, sound and haptic feedback, and Verbose Announcements - View Assistant: point the camera and hear what is in front of you Free to Use. No Ads. Local model features are free, including the AI keyboard, knowledge wiki, writing assistant, custom assistants, 60+ tools, document reader, and image generation.
