Overview
What Locally AI is
The app is built around offline, account-free use. Users download a compatible model, configure its system prompt, and interact through text or voice without routing each prompt to a hosted model service.
That privacy and offline access come with edge-device tradeoffs. Model downloads consume storage, and speed, battery life, context capacity, and answer quality depend on the device and selected model.

Who Locally AI is best for
