Offline Brain / How it works
Download it once, then it's yours offline
You need the internet one time, to fetch the AI and the library. After that the Offline Brain runs on your laptop only, with no account and no login. Your questions never leave it.
Start it tonight, use it tomorrow: on a 100 Mbps line the download takes about 30 minutes for Essentials and about 3 hours for Full, and it runs on its own.

Run the installer
It checks your free space, then fetches Wikipedia and WikiMed from Kiwix's official mirrors, the AI model from its publisher and your map pack from us. Each file is checked against its published checksum. If the connection drops, it carries on where it stopped.

It all keeps working. The apps only listen on your own laptop, not your home network. On battery it runs as long as your laptop does.
Needs nothing
An ordinary laptop
A private AI no longer needs a big machine. We test every build on a Windows laptop and a Mac before it goes out, and the setup guide lists the versions.

Laptop or desktop. The setup guide lists the versions we test on.
25 GB or 147 GB free
25 GB for Essentials, 147 GB for Full. The installer checks before it starts, and you can pick an external drive.
8 GB of RAM
The AI is a 4B model, about 2.7 GB, and needs no graphics card. On older laptops the first word can take about 30 seconds.
Wikipedia on your phone
The free Kiwix app on Android or iPhone opens Wikipedia and WikiMed. The guide shows how. The AI is laptop only.
