Elephas: AI-Powered Personal Knowledge Assistant for Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Elephas acts as your personal second brain by connecting to your own data to help you organize, understand, and act on information. It unifies scattered notes, documents, and media into a single, searchable knowledge base that you can query with natural language.

Key capabilities include creating a centralized container called a "Brain" for organized spaces (projects, clients, interests), storing 20+ file formats (DocX, PDFs, images, URLs, audio, web pages, YouTube videos, etc.), and enabling advanced semantic search to retrieve and connect insights from your personal data. You can chat with your Brain, gain insights, view references, and rely on outputs that are grounded in your own data to minimize hallucinations.

Elephas is designed for macOS and iOS with cross‑device sync, a native experience, and strong privacy features. It supports offline use, local storage, and optional iCloud sync, with no data mining or training on your data.

Core Uses

• Brainstorm ideas and generate innovative concepts tailored to your projects
• Learn by summarizing resources and creating custom study materials
• Write content (articles, reports, emails) using your data as the foundation
• Generate comprehensive reports by synthesizing data from multiple sources
• Answer questions and generate insights from your personal knowledge base
• Analyze sentiment and extract actionable takeaways from text
• Improve writing with grammar fixes, rewrites, translations, and summaries
• Run AI-powered commands across your Mac apps via Super Command

Why Elephas Stands Out

• AI intelligence on your data: grounded insights with no hallucinations
• No file type limits: import documents, images, videos, notes, and more
• Privacy-first: 100% offline mode available, local storage, no data mining
• Seamless Apple ecosystem: Mac and iOS apps with smooth cross-device sync
• Multiple AI engines: use OpenAI-backed models or offline options for privacy
• Flexible integrations: works with popular PKM tools like Notion, DEVONthink, Obsidian, Roam Research, Bear, Tinderbox, and more
• Snippet and automation: auto-detection, smart updates, and Super Command for workflow automation

How Elephas Works
