It runs advanced generative AI entirely offline, ensuring total privacy for your data. The app features the newly supported Gemma 4 family and introduces Mobile Actions, a groundbreaking capability that turns natural voice commands into real phone actions without any internet connection.

Who it's for

• Privacy-conscious users who want powerful AI assistance without sending personal data to cloud servers

• Productivity seekers who need instant, offline access to tools like calendar creation, map navigation, and device controls through natural voice commands

Key features

Mobile Actions

Powered by a compact 270M FunctionGemma model, Mobile Actions enables offline device control through natural language. You can create calendar events, open maps, toggle the flashlight, and perform other automated tasks instantly—all without an internet connection.

AI Chat with Thinking Mode

Engage in fluid, multi-turn conversations and toggle Thinking Mode to see the model's step-by-step reasoning process. This feature is perfect for understanding complex problem-solving and currently works with supported models starting with the Gemma 4 family.

Agent Skills

Transform your LLM from a conversationalist into a proactive assistant. Use tools like Wikipedia for fact-grounding, interactive maps, and rich visual summary cards. You can even load modular skills from a URL or browse community contributions on GitHub Discussions.

Ask Image and Audio Scribe

Use multimodal power to identify objects, solve visual puzzles, or get detailed descriptions using your device's camera or photo gallery. Audio Scribe transcribes and translates voice recordings into text in real-time using high-efficiency on-device language models.
