Your first chat

1. Get a model

On first launch the app recommends a model sized to your machine's memory and graphics card, with a one-click download. Prefer to browse? The Offline Models page lists the catalog with filters (coding, reasoning, vision, and more) and shows exactly what each model needs.

The fit dots

Green: runs fully on your graphics card - fast. Yellow: partly on the processor - works, slower. Red: too big for this device.

2. Say hello

Pick an AI in the Ask selector above the message field and start typing. The bundled AIs each have their own personality - or create your own from the Your AIs page.

3. Attach things

Drag files straight into the message field - documents, spreadsheets, code, images. Ask about them, then use Verify sources under the reply to check any claim against the exact wording in the source. Scanned PDFs work too, with a one-time ~30 MB reading add-on.

4. Make it remember

Under any reply, Remember keeps what matters - or highlight any text and remember just that. Your AIs learn who you are as you chat (pause anytime in Settings → Memory), and everything they know is visible and editable on the Memory page.
