The Challenge

The Problem to Solve

Users wanting to use AI on their phone are forced to send data to cloud servers, raising privacy concerns. Existing solutions require expensive subscriptions and permanent internet connection.

1

Existing AI apps send all data to the cloud — no privacy

2

Expensive subscriptions ($20+/month) for AI model access

3

Internet dependency for every interaction

4

Limited model choice and no customization possible
