AI Secretary
Read full descriptionHide full description
AI Secretary is a native SwiftUI client for connecting to a Hermes API Server or another compatible AI backend you choose. Capture ideas by text or dictation, attach images and files, browse conversations, and turn results into reusable deliverables. The app starts in an offline demo mode and does not require an account. To use a live backend, bind a server by scanning a QR code or entering its address and API key. The connection is shown before it is saved. Credentials are stored locally on your device and are never included in the app build. AI Secretary supports OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, and LangServe connections, live streaming responses, model selection, conversation search, Markdown, speech input, text-to-speech, image messages, local file sharing, and an explicit approval flow for supported Hermes actions. You choose the backend and model. Network requests go to the endpoint you configure. The app does not provide a hosted AI account or subscription.
