How is Elephas different from other AI tools?
Unlike ChatGPT‑style tools that generate answers from general knowledge, Elephas uses your own files as its data foundation. Its Super Brain lets you talk to your personal knowledge, ensuring responses come from your own documents, notes or inbox—tailored to your workflow.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Elephas stores everything locally on your device (or encrypted iCloud), provides optional offline‑only models, and never sends your data to Elephas servers. Encryption and total offline operation give you complete privacy control.
Do I need an OpenAI account to use Elephas?
No. Elephas includes its own AI engine. If you choose, you can link your OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key for GPT‑4 or Claude access—but it’s entirely optional and won’t affect the free version.
Can Elephas run without an Internet connection?
Absolutely. You can power it entirely offline—smart agents, Super Brain lookup, summarization and writing still work locally. iCloud sync remains optional for offline‑first users.
What is the Super Command feature?
Super Command is a Spotlight‑style command bar. It appears anywhere on your Mac, listens globally, and lets you trigger AI actions (summaries, tone transformations, translations) or run custom “Snippets,” all without leaving your current app.
