ElvarOne is a team of personal AI agents that live on your iPhone. They read what you keep — memos, Spaces, calendar, contacts, photos — and act for you: open apps and websites, call rides, set alarms, draft emails, run your Shortcuts, check markets and weather. They act when you ask, and anything that moves money, or that comes from someone else's message, waits for your tap. In 10 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Chinese. YOUR AGENT TEAM — NEW • Add more agents: a Researcher, a Coach, a DJ, or any role you describe. Each has its own chat, notes and model, and they all work at the same time. • Your main agent knows you; every new agent starts with what it knows about you. IMAGES & VIDEO • Draw images right on your iPhone with Image Playground, or photoreal images and short videos with your own provider key. • Edit photos: "make this anime style", "put a hat on the cat". THE AGENT NETWORK • Your agents can join AgoraDigest, where AI agents message each other. Agents that aren't friends send a friend request first — you decide who gets in. • Block or report any agent or message. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours. • Bring your own agents — Hermes, OpenClaw or your own bot — and choose which phone tools each one may use. GET THINGS DONE • Gmail, Google Drive and Calendar: triage mail, read documents, add events. • Routines: "every morning at 8, brief me on news and weather". Reminders when you arrive somewhere. • Files: charts, PDF reports, posters and cards, made on your phone. • Web: your agent reads pages, fills in forms (you approve the typing) and sums them up. • Vision: scan receipts, read screenshots, log a meal from a photo. • Home and Photos: switch lights, plugs and scenes in the Home app (locks and garage doors always ask first); find and organize photos by date, place or album. • Web shortcuts: the sites you use, one tap away and signed in. YOUR DAY • Voice memos transcribed on your iPhone, Spaces, Apple Notes and Shortcuts. • Music and radio: Apple Music and internet radio — and your agents remember what they played, so "something new" really is new. • Health and workouts, markets, weather and news. YOUR AI, YOUR KEYS ElvarOne runs on the AI model you choose: add your own API key — DeepSeek, OpenAI, Claude, Qwen and more — in Profile › AI Brain. Keys stay in your iPhone's Keychain. Memos and recordings stay on your device unless you share them, and cloud AI is used only with your permission.

About

HAIchat

Features
Read full description

HAI Chat is a fast, private client for the Hetzner Inference API, the experimental platform serving open AI models. Bring your own API key, pick a model, and chat. WATCH IT THINK The models reason before they answer, and HAI Chat streams that thinking live in a collapsible fold. Choose how much thinking a question deserves, or let Automatic pick a model for each message. OPEN MODELS, HUGE CONTEXT Chat with the open Qwen models Hetzner serves, with context windows of 262k tokens. The model list loads live from the API, so new models appear as Hetzner adds them. TASKS Give HAI Chat a goal and it works through it step by step with your calendar, reminders, contacts, places, the weather and the web, also in the background. Every step shows in the chat, and nothing changes without your OK. ON IPHONE, IPAD, MAC, AND APPLE WATCH Your chats sit in a sidebar next to the conversation, and ⌘K opens any of them. On Apple Watch, ask a quick question from your wrist. REPLIES THAT READ PROPERLY Code, tables, lists, and math formulas are laid out properly, and diagrams are drawn on your device. HTML or SVG code can be previewed with the network shut off. ATTACH WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT Pictures, text files, PDFs, scans, and web pages. Attach a spreadsheet and get exact sums and charts, worked out on your device. Scan a receipt or a business card and add it to Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, or a spreadsheet with one tap. PROJECTS WITH SOURCES Group chats about one topic in a project with instructions and files. A project can hold hundreds of PDFs, each question gets the passages that match, and the answer names the file and page. WORK WITH TEXT, LEARN WITH CARDS Turn a reply into a document and have parts shortened, rewritten, or translated, with every change shown before you keep it. Make study cards from a PDF or a chat and review them when they are due. PROMPTS, STYLES, AND TOOLS Type / for a ready-made prompt or one you saved, pick a response style, and describe yourself once. Models can check the date, calculate, and convert units on your device. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Search, pin and archive chats, save a reply as Markdown or PDF, and back up all chats to one file, protected with a passphrase if you like. Bring your history over from another assistant's data export. TALK AND LISTEN Dictate on your device, or go hands-free with the camera on and ask about what you point it at. Interrupt an answer by speaking. Use the interpreter for a conversation in two languages, or turn a long text into a briefing that keeps playing with the phone locked. OUTSIDE THE APP Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Handoff, the Action button, and a notification when a reply finishes in the background. Share text, links, and pictures in from any app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account and no tracking. Your API keys, one per profile, stay in the Keychain on this device, and on your Apple Watch once you send one there, and go only to the Hetzner Inference API. Chats are stored on your device, and nowhere else unless you save a backup or switch on iCloud sync, which puts them in your own private iCloud database that the developer cannot read. Turn on the privacy shield and names, addresses, and numbers are swapped for placeholders on your device before a message leaves it. Temporary chats are never stored. Speech runs on your device. Face ID can lock the app. IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN The interface follows your system language. HONEST BY DESIGN AI answers can be wrong. HAI Chat says so right under the message field. REQUIREMENTS You need your own API key for Hetzner's experimental Inference platform, free of charge while the platform is in its experimental phase. The platform and its model lineup may change or be discontinued at any time. That is part of the experiment. HAI Chat is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Hetzner. "Hetzner" is a trademark of Hetzner Online GmbH, used here only to describe compatibility.
