Introducing PolyChat: Private, Offline AI Chat on Your Phone

We are excited to announce the launch of PolyChat, a groundbreaking application designed to provide users with direct access to powerful Large Language Models while prioritizing privacy and security. In an era where data protection is paramount, PolyChat offers a unique solution by executing AI computations locally on your device, ensuring your conversations remain confidential and under your complete control.


"Your data never leaves your device. Experience AI with true privacy."

PolyChat leverages a highly efficient llama.cpp backend, enabling optimized edge inference for a seamless and responsive user experience. This innovative architecture allows you to harness the capabilities of state‑of‑the‑art, leading language models—the very same models that are setting new standards in the AI world—directly on your device. By running these advanced models locally, PolyChat delivers the power and intelligence of the latest AI breakthroughs without the need for an internet connection, eliminating the privacy and latency concerns of cloud‑based solutions. Whether you're looking for advanced reasoning, creative exploration, or in‑depth analysis, PolyChat brings the best of modern AI right to your fingertips, privately and instantly.


We understand that your conversations, your ideas, and your data are deeply personal. That's why we've engineered PolyChat to operate entirely on your device. Unlike conventional AI applications that transmit your queries to remote servers, PolyChat keeps everything local. This means that the moment you type a message or receive a response, that information stays securely within the confines of your phone or tablet. There is no intermediary, no cloud storage of your dialogues, and absolutely no transmission of your sensitive data to third parties. This localized architecture is not just a feature; it's the very foundation of PolyChat, providing you with the unparalleled peace of mind that comes with truly uncompromising privacy. You can engage in sensitive discussions, brainstorm confidential projects, and explore personal thoughts with the absolute assurance that your information remains exactly where it belongs – with you.

We are launching the initial version of PolyChat with the following selection of leading language models:

  • Qwen 2.5: A cutting-edge model offering advanced reasoning and comprehensive knowledge.
  • Gemma 3: The latest generation model from Google, engineered for performance and versatility.
  • Llama 3.2: The newest iteration from the Meta AI team, pushing the boundaries of language understanding.
  • DeepSeek R1 Distilled Qwen: A highly optimized model that delivers robust performance with remarkable efficiency.

PolyChat proves invaluable in situations demanding both privacy and accessibility. Envision a traveler on a flight without internet who needs to brainstorm confidential business strategies or refine sensitive communication. PolyChat allows them to harness AI's power without any external connection, ensuring their ideas remain private. Consider individuals exploring highly personal and sensitive topics, seeking AI to help structure their thoughts or gain new perspectives in a completely secure environment. Imagine a creative professional in a remote location without reliable internet who wants to brainstorm new concepts or refine their writing. PolyChat offers that AI support offline, enabling them to continue their work without compromising their creative process or data security. These examples underscore PolyChat's utility in providing secure and readily available AI assistance, particularly when dealing with confidential information or in the absence of internet connectivity.


We've meticulously crafted a user interface that's not only modern and visually appealing but also remarkably intuitive. Forget clunky menus and overwhelming options; PolyChat welcomes you with a clean, friendly design that makes interacting with powerful AI models a breeze from the very first tap. You'll find the experience straightforward and engaging, allowing you to focus on exploring the exciting possibilities of on-device AI without getting bogged down in unnecessary complexity.

We are looking forward to the following updates:

  • • Staying at the cutting edge: We're working on supporting the very latest models (Working on supporting Qwen3! 😅)
  • • Multimodal capabilities: Expanding beyond text with support for images
  • • Enhanced information processing: Introducing document query and summarization features
  • • Real-world interaction: Bringing the power of PolyChat to what you see with Lens View
