Elephas

What Elephas is

A knowledge workspace that keeps your material on your own devices. It indexes documents and notes locally, then lets you ask questions and write with that material as context.

The point is working with sensitive files without uploading them somewhere else.

What you can do with it

• Index documents and notes on your device
• Ask questions across your own material
• Draft text using your files as context
• Organise notes and references
• Work with confidential documents
• Use it on Mac and iOS

Who it is for

• Consultants handling client material
• Researchers with sensitive sources
• Knowledge workers who want local control
• Anyone uncomfortable uploading files to a service

What to watch out for

• Confirm which parts actually run locally and which call a model provider
• Local indexing still needs backups, or the index dies with the machine
• Mac and iOS support means Windows users are out of luck
• Privacy depends on configuration, so check what is enabled by default
