What you can inspect
- The source excerpts behind an answer
- The selected processing mode and provider path
- The distinction between canonical and derived data
Local-first intelligence · visible provenance
Private AI knowledge without surrendering your source of truth.
Search and reason over portable knowledge with local-first retrieval, inspectable sources, and an explicit choice of local, connected, or hosted model paths.
Your provider remains the canonical home for Markdown. Derived indexes can be rebuilt, and connected models receive bounded selected context only when you choose that route.
Know what the system read
Useful intelligence starts with a visible boundary.
Phasoric separates your canonical files, rebuildable retrieval data, and optional model processing so the privacy and provider tradeoff is understandable before a request runs.
Keep portable sources canonical
Markdown stays readable in the storage provider you select; an intelligence index does not become a replacement source of truth.
Retrieve locally first
Supported search and intelligence paths begin on the device and keep the matching source context visible.
Choose a model path
Use supported local processing or deliberately send bounded selected context through a connected or hosted model route.
The practical boundary
Three boundaries, one understandable answer
What does not happen silently
- Every note becoming a default cloud prompt
- A provider replacing your portable source files
- A generated suggestion becoming an approved action
Model availability and speed vary by device, browser, plan, and provider. Phasoric keeps that limitation visible at the point of use.
Questions worth asking
Understand the tradeoff before you commit.
Does private AI mean every model runs locally?
No. Supported retrieval and some intelligence can run locally, while connected or hosted models are optional processing paths. When a connected model is selected, bounded relevant context is sent to that provider.
Can I choose where my knowledge is stored?
Yes. Phasoric supports local and mapped provider paths, including supported hosted, Dropbox, Google Drive, and GitHub workflows. Availability varies by capability and plan.
How can I verify an AI answer?
Phasoric keeps source context and citations available so you can return to the original material. Generated output remains a draft or suggestion until a person reviews it.
Choose the boundary that fits the work
Start private. Add a provider only when it earns a role.
Keep portable knowledge at the center while you decide which intelligence path is appropriate for each task.
