What it does

CuriousLM is a free private AI assistant that runs entirely on your device, in a web browser or as an Android app. It is made by one developer, Ebenezer Don, who also trains its own small model, Curious 2B. After a one-time model download it works offline, and chats, voice and the journal stay on the device. On Android it can also read notifications and calendar to say what needs a reply, warn about scam messages and explain photographed letters.

Features

  • On-device chat with Curious 2B. Its own model answers, writes, explains and reads photos, running locally like the other models in the app. Official source 1 ↗
  • Heat: see the odds. Tap an uncertain word to see the alternatives the model nearly chose, with probabilities, and branch the answer. Official source 1 ↗
  • Voice and journal. Voice mode listens and replies on the device; the encrypted journal spots recurring themes and can write a weekly letter. Official source 1 ↗
  • Android assistant and scam shield. With permission it reads notifications and calendar to flag who is waiting and what is due, and warns about scam messages without opening links. Official source 1 ↗
  • Explain this letter. Photograph a bill, fine or letter on Android and get a plain-language explanation, deadline and calendar entry. Official source 1 ↗
  • Find it and Pocket Wikipedia. Search your journal, chats and documents in plain words; factual questions use 121,797 offline Wikipedia article openings (60 MB). Official source 1 ↗
  • Verify privacy yourself. There is no server; a verifier script downloads the exact code your device runs and builds a review pack for an AI to audit. Official source 1 ↗
