Smartloop Studio
A local AI assistant that runs on your own machine. It picks the models, reads your documents, and connects to your tools — no setup, no model shopping, nothing sent to the cloud.
Works on macOS · Linux · Windows — system requirements
Local AI, without the setup
Running AI locally today means choosing between hundreds of models, guessing at quantization, and hoping it fits in your RAM. We make those calls for you, so it just works — without you making a single technical decision.
You shouldn’t have to pick a model.
Hundreds of open models, each with its own file formats, quantizations, and memory requirements. Keeping up with them is a hobby, not a product. Smartloop ships a curated set and routes each task to the right one automatically — you just ask.
It does the hardware math for you.
On first launch Smartloop checks the memory and GPU you actually have, then picks model builds that fit — integrated graphics included. No flags, no config files, no guessing whether it will run.
Documents, OCR, tools, and skills — on-device.
Pull answers out of PDFs and scans, connect MCP tools, and turn repeat work into reusable skills. This is not a chat box wrapped around a downloaded model — it’s the assistant you actually use, running locally.
Nothing leaves your device. Nothing metered.
Cloud assistants send your documents and prompts to servers you don’t control, and charge you by the prompt. Smartloop keeps everything on-device — nothing to log, leak, or hand over — and use it as much as you want without a bill.

01What is Smartloop?
Smartloop is a local AI assistant that runs entirely on your own machine. You install it and start asking; there are no models to choose, nothing to configure, and no account to create. It reads your documents, connects to your tools, and generates content without sending your data anywhere.
02How does Smartloop work?
Smartloop breaks each request into smaller tasks and routes them to the best on-device model. We curate the models it ships with — open small language models including Google’s Gemma family (such as Gemma 3) and Qwen2-VL for vision — and its orchestration model (sl-mini) picks the right one by capability and workload. You never see that choice; you just get the answer.
03Do I need to pick a model or configure anything?
No. That is the point. There are hundreds of open models, each with its own file formats, quantizations, and memory requirements, and most people have no reason to learn the difference. Smartloop is opinionated: we curate the models, size them to your machine on first launch, and swap in better ones as they land. There is nothing to choose or configure.
04Is Smartloop free?
Yes, Smartloop is free to use, with models that are regularly updated to handle most everyday tasks efficiently. No account or credit card is needed, and it stays free for organizations running it at scale. If you want a hand getting it running, you can hire us to set it up and get it working on your data — on-premise deployment, tuning for your use case, rollout across your team, and a dedicated point of contact. Reach us at support@smartloop.ai.
05Is my data private and offline?
Yes. Because Smartloop runs on-device, your documents and conversations stay on your machine and are never uploaded, and it keeps working offline for most everyday tasks. Smartloop sizes the models it runs to the memory your machine has. The minimum is an Apple Silicon Mac (M3 or newer) with 16 GB of unified memory, or a Windows 11 / Linux machine with 16 GB of RAM and a Vulkan-capable GPU — integrated Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA graphics all qualify, and the Vulkan runtime ships with the app. More memory is better.
