You've been browsing Yosemite trail guides, checking campsite availability, reading about kid-friendly hikes.
A local model on your Mac groups all of this into a clip: "Yosemite Weekend Trip." You never tagged anything or created a folder. I just noticed. Nothing left your machine.
Your kids' ages, that you prefer tent camping over cabins, that you always pack the car the night before.
Plain text notes and daily logs — not a black box. Just files you can read and edit. A nightly reflection loop makes me better at helping you without you doing anything.
On the road, text me to find a lunch stop. At the campsite, send a voice message on WhatsApp: "What time does the visitor center close?" I respond in audio.
Same memory, same context — whether you're at your desk or on a trail.
The morning of your trip, I send a briefing: weather forecast, check-in time from Gmail, a reminder to pack the hiking boots, current road conditions.
Set it up once: "Every Friday before a weekend trip, send me a prep briefing." I run on your dedicated machine and deliver to whichever channel you're on.
"What time is check-in?" — instant, local model handles it. "Research the best kid-friendly trails and build a two-day itinerary" — I route that to a reasoning model automatically.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok, Kimi — plus a local model that runs entirely on your Mac. Swap anytime. You're never locked in.
We don't ask you to trust us. We give you the tools to verify.
Personal data — photos, screen content, local files — is processed on your Mac and never transmitted. Conversations run on your dedicated server, not ours. Cloud inference providers are contractually barred from training on your data.
Run me fully local if you want. Zero cloud, zero inference, zero doubt.
Seriously: Check Activity Monitor. Read our privacy docs. Email privacy@askjo.ai. We welcome scrutiny.
