Fluid is a private assistant designed for Mac by Meta Llama 3, offering AI tool functionality similar to ChatGPT, while emphasizing offline usage and unparalleled privacy.
Engineered specifically for Macs with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later, Fluid operates directly on users’ Macs. This ensures that all interactions and communications remain within the device, eliminating the need for connections to external servers or third-party entities.
This independent operation enhances data privacy for users. Fluid’s voice control feature allows users to dictate inputs confidently, knowing that the voice data remains on the device.
With a straightforward installation process, Fluid requires no specific skills to start using. Once installed, launching the assistant is as simple as pressing Ctrl+Space.
Fluid prides itself on its security. It has been validated by Apple, runs in a secure app sandbox without needing an admin password, and offers automatic updates.
Users have full control over Fluid’s operations, with easy options to interrupt or stop its functions as needed. Future developments include web search capabilities, context awareness, and data memorization for a more personalized user experience.
