What is Elephas?

Elephas is an AI tool designed for professionals who work with sensitive documents, notes, and data. It offers a private knowledge workspace with local-first indexing, ensuring that your information remains on your device. A key differentiator is its automatic redaction of sensitive personal information (PII) before any data is sent to an AI model, providing enhanced privacy and security. Users can choose to run AI models locally, through the cloud, or with their own API keys, offering flexibility and control over data processing. Elephas integrates with various document types and apps like PDFs, Word, Apple Notes, Notion, and Zoom transcripts, allowing users to create "Super Brains" for focused workspaces and grounded AI insights. It also includes a "Super Command" feature for AI writing assistance across any Mac application.

FAQs

How does Elephas ensure the privacy of sensitive data?

Elephas protects sensitive data by indexing files locally on your Mac and automatically redacting common personal information (PII) before sending content to any AI model. You also control where the AI runs: offline, via secure cloud providers that don't train on your data, or with your own API key.

What is the difference between the direct download and Mac App Store versions?

The Mac App Store version of Elephas is limited due to sandbox restrictions and does not include the Super Command feature or other text writing capabilities across apps. For the full experience with AI writing and smart replies in any application, it is recommended to download directly from the Elephas website.

Can I use Elephas completely offline?

Yes, Elephas supports fully offline AI processing. Users can download and utilize local models to ensure that no data leaves their device. This option provides maximum privacy and is ideal for highly sensitive workflows where cloud interaction is not desired.

Does Elephas work with my existing documents and notes?

Absolutely. Elephas is designed to work with a wide range of file formats including PDFs, Word documents, Excel, Apple Notes, Notion pages, Obsidian vaults, and Zoom transcripts. All indexing of these files occurs locally on your Mac, creating a secure knowledge base.
