What's AI inside

Runs open models on your machine, with optional cloud connections.

Why it passes the AI inside test

Checked against the five tests on the criteria page.

  • The AI is the core, not a garnish.

    Take the AI away and the product stops doing its main job.

  • It runs a real model.

    Language, vision, speech or image models, on your device or in the cloud. Rules and if-this-then-that automation don’t count.

  • You can use it today.

    Generally available or in an open public beta. Waitlists and demo videos wait.

  • You feel it directly.

    The AI is in what you see and do, not a claim about back-office systems.

  • The maker is clear about it.

    The product’s own site says what the AI does. A vague “AI-powered” sticker doesn’t qualify.
