LUCY turns AI from thinking into doing. LUCY is not just another AI chat tool. It is an AI team that understands you, orchestrates powerful capabilities, and gets real work done for you. - Gets to know you better over time: LUCY has long-term memory, so you do not have to explain the same context over and over again. The more you use it, the better it understands your preferences, files, and ways of working — and the more tailored its results become. - Actually gets things done: Most AI tools answer questions. LUCY helps solve them. Once you confirm a plan, LUCY can continue moving the task forward with your authorization — operating webpages, running workflows, organizing results, and reporting back with progress and outcomes. - Turns experience into reusable Skills: The workflows, standards, and methods you build with LUCY can become your own dedicated Skills, ready to be called with a single sentence next time. And when you enter an unfamiliar field, LUCY can also call external expert Skills, helping you solve problems from a higher starting point. - 20+ leading AI models, available on demand: LUCY can call different model capabilities based on the task, helping you handle more complex understanding, reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Different problems go to the right intelligence — without you switching between tools. - Manages your digital assets: LUCY can connect to your personal devices and help manage photos, recordings, videos, documents, and other digital assets. Scattered files are no longer just stored away; they can be found, understood, and used when you need them. With LUCY, you can spend less time searching, organizing, copying, archiving, and chasing progress — and more time on the decisions, creativity, and life that matter most.

Clutcha AI— a smart assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. Inference happens on-device, your conversations never leave the device, and there is no account and no data collection. • On-device inference: chat with no network connection (the network is only used to download models) • Upgraded to the latest MLX inference engine — steadier long conversations, more accurate multi-turn memory, more reliable tool calls • A lightweight model is built in and ready to use; download 4B / 7B / 9B models for more capability (7 in total) • 11 device tools: calculator, date & time, files, system, battery, translate, Safari, clipboard, reminders, location, contacts • Web search (new): optional and off by default, with Tavily and Wikipedia — source links can be opened to verify • Full LaTeX math and Markdown rendering: headings, lists, tables, quotes, code blocks. Turn rendering off to read the raw text • Longer answers, less often cut short: higher output limits, a clear notice when a reply hits the limit, and one-tap continuation • Settings and info commands open a panel: /help /status /model /set /prompt /language /tools /kb /game /downloader • Adjustable session settings: context window, temperature, thinking budget, memory ceiling — remembered per model, so switching models keeps each model's own settings • Sampling tuned to each model's official recommendations (Qwen3 / Qwen3.5 / Qwen2.5 / DeepSeek-R1) • Knowledge base Q&A, plus Gomoku and chess with AI review • Privacy first: no data collection, no tracking — your data stays on your device. Only if you turn on web search and run the tool is your query sent to the provider you choose • Requirements: tested on iPhone 15 Pro Max (8GB); 12GB and up leaves more headroom for large models • Pro unlocks: 4B / 7B / 9B models, Chess Coach, parameter tuning, custom prompts and web search
