SidekicksAIYour local AI companion · Early access
A place to think, explore and create with AI — with your data on your device and the internet switched off.
SidekicksAI runs the AI model on your own iPhone, iPad or computer. Your prompts, chats and files are processed on the device rather than sent to a cloud AI service. Once the app and models are set up, everyday work runs offline, with no per-token API charges.

From a first thought to a working draft, bring AI into the work already on your device.
Ask questions, develop ideas, draft an email or turn a complex topic into a clear explanation. Work with a local model in a conversational workspace.
Explore PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets and presentations on your device. Summarise material, compare ideas and find a useful starting point in your own knowledge.
Build documents and presentations from a short brief and your source files. Shape the outline, refine the content and use company templates for a familiar finish.
Create custom assistants with your preferred instructions and local knowledge sets. Give repeated tasks a consistent approach, from writing support to explaining data.
How local AI works
Install the app and download the AI models for your device. Initial setup and approved model downloads need a connection; an organisation can also plan an offline deployment.
Add the files, knowledge and instructions you want to work with. They are processed locally, with internet access blocked during everyday use.
Chat, analyse and create without a cloud token meter. Model capability and speed depend on your device and selected models; review important outputs before using them.
iPhone and iPad
SidekicksAI is being prepared for the App Store. It is currently in testing and is not yet available to purchase or download from the App Store.
The iOS app targets iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, with an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or an M1-or-newer iPad. Model performance depends on available memory and storage.
The first language-model download is approximately 3.3–5.2 GB, depending on device memory. Use Wi-Fi and allow enough free storage. Initial setup and approved model downloads need a connection; everyday chat and document work then runs on the device.
No app account is required. Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode protects access, and iOS Data Protection protects saved app data while the device is locked.
Chat, explore supported files and export documents or presentations. Image generation is not supported on iPhone or iPad. Review AI-generated answers and files before relying on or sharing them.
SidekicksAI for you and your team

No per-token API charges for local use. App Store pricing and availability will be shown when the app is released. Device, setup, support and organisational deployment costs are discussed separately.
