About This Software

IthielAI — Your Private AI Workspace

Your AI.
Your Hardware.
Your Data.

No Subscription Required.

IthielAI is a local-first AI workspace designed for people who want complete ownership of their information.

Run AI directly on your own hardware, organize projects, manage knowledge, preserve important context, and work with an AI that helps steward your information over time.

Unlike cloud-based AI services, IthielAI is designed around local execution, privacy, and long-term information management. Your conversations, projects, files, and knowledge remain under your control.

What IthielAI Does

Private Local AI

Run AI models directly on your own computer without relying on cloud services or monthly subscriptions.

Information Stewardship

IthielAI is being developed as an information steward — a system designed to help organize, preserve, and work with the information that matters to you.

Projects, conversations, notes, decisions, and knowledge can remain available as part of your long-term working environment.

Project Workspaces

Create dedicated workspaces for different projects, conversations, and areas of work.

Knowledge & Memory Systems

Maintain context across conversations and projects through IthielAI's evolving knowledge and memory systems.

User Control

Choose how your system operates, what information is retained, and how your workspace is organized.

Built For Powerful Local Hardware

Designed for users who want the capability of modern AI running directly on their own systems.

Current Development Focus

IthielAI is actively evolving.

Current development efforts include:

• Expanded file intake systems
• Improved workspace workflows
• Enhanced project awareness
• Better information organization
• Stronger knowledge management
• Continued performance and usability improvements

Privacy First

Your information belongs to you.

IthielAI is designed around local execution and user ownership. The included AI model runs fully offline, allowing you to work without relying on external AI services.

Hardware Recommendations

IthielAI runs local AI models directly on your computer.

Because AI workloads can be demanding, performance depends heavily on your hardware and the models you choose to run.

        Recommended:

           • 32GB RAM or higher
           • NVIDIA RTX 3060 or better
          • Modern desktop CPU
          • SSD storage

High-end desktop systems will provide the best experience.

Many gaming laptops may be able to run IthielAI successfully, but performance, thermals, and model size limitations will vary significantly depending on hardware configuration.

Users interested in running larger local AI models should strongly consider desktop-class hardware.

Early Access Information

Why Early Access?

Ithiel AI is entering Early Access to allow development to continue alongside community feedback. The intent is to refine usability, performance, and workflows based on real-world use.

What should I expect during Early Access?

The software is functional in its current state. Updates and refinements may occur over time as development continues. Some interface elements and workflows may change as usability and stability are evaluated.

There is no fixed roadmap or guaranteed feature timeline.

How can I provide feedback or report bugs?

The Steam Community Hub → Discussions section is the primary place for feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Community input may help guide development priorities.

Will Ithiel AI change over time?

Ithiel AI is under active development. Improvements to usability, performance, and workflow clarity are planned, though specific features and timing are subject to change.

Does Ithiel AI run locally?

Ithiel AI is designed to prioritize local use on your own hardware. The included model runs fully offline. Internet access is only required for optional system updates.

What about performance and hardware requirements?

Performance depends heavily on the selected AI model. Larger models require more VRAM, RAM, and storage. Users can select model cores appropriate for their system capabilities.

Will the price change after Early Access?

The price during Early Access may differ from the price after Early Access concludes. Pricing adjustments, if any, are subject to change as development progresses.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This application generates text responses in real time using an on-device language model (LLM). All AI output is initiated by user prompts entered through the chat interface. The model runs locally on the user's hardware and does not require an internet connection in the Steam build. The application does not generate images or other media via AI. User inputs and generated content are stored locally on the user’s device and are not transmitted to external servers.
