The AI-Public desktop app offers new ways to work on policy documents, public information, and digital services. You can chat offline, create more advanced Office files, and have small apps built without installing additional development tools yourself.

When working offline, you use only a local model, and your chats stay on your laptop. This means you can keep chatting even without an internet connection. Administrators can disable this mode, so its availability depends on your organisation’s settings.

You can have PowerPoint, Word, and Excel files created with real charts, such as an Excel analysis of aggregated service statistics. Word documents can also include a proper table of contents. You can view the files in the built-in viewer. Want to use local documents? When starting a new chat, select a working folder using the folder button and check which folder is active.

You can also have a small web app built, for example, a prototype of a decision aid for municipal services. Describe in the chat what the app should do. AI-Public can view and test the result in the built-in browser. You don’t need to install additional development tools yourself. Check the result before using it further.
