IthielAI

Ithiel AI — Local-first AI desktop assistant

Ithiel AI is a local-first AI desktop assistant designed for people who value control, transparency, and performance. Run AI models on your own hardware, manage memory and chat history, and configure how Ithiel behaves within your system.

Key Features

• Local-first execution – Designed to prioritize on-device model running with user-controlled options.
• Model management – Select and load different model cores based on performance and hardware capability. (must be downloaded separately)
• Configurable memory – Multiple retention levels to balance usefulness and storage control.
• Profiles & organized chat history – Separate workspaces with predictable storage for conversations and attachments.

System Note

Performance depends on the AI model selected. Larger models may require increased GPU VRAM, system RAM, and storage capacity.

System Requirements Notice

Ithiel AI is a high-performance local AI system designed for desktop-class hardware.

           ⚠️ Not recommended for laptops or low-power systems.

      For the best experience, a system with at least 32GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 (or better) is required.

Systems below these specifications may experience:

• Failure to load AI models

• Severe performance issues

• Application instability

This application is designed for high-end PCs running local large language models (30B parameters).


Ithiel AI runs fully locally on your hardware — no cloud, no subscriptions, no data collection.

✖ Casual users expecting instant results
✖ Laptop-only users

Early Access Information

Why Early Access?

Ithiel AI is entering Early Access to allow development to continue alongside community feedback. The intent is to refine usability, performance, and workflows based on real-world use.

What should I expect during Early Access?

The software is functional in its current state. Updates and refinements may occur over time as development continues. Some interface elements and workflows may change as usability and stability are evaluated.

There is no fixed roadmap or guaranteed feature timeline.

How can I provide feedback or report bugs?

The Steam Community Hub → Discussions section is the primary place for feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. Community input may help guide development priorities.

Will Ithiel AI change over time?

Ithiel AI is under active development. Improvements to usability, performance, and workflow clarity are planned, though specific features and timing are subject to change.

Does Ithiel AI run locally?

Ithiel AI is designed to prioritize local use on your own hardware. The included model runs fully offline. Internet access is only required for optional system updates.

What about performance and hardware requirements?

Performance depends heavily on the selected AI model. Larger models require more VRAM, RAM, and storage. Users can select model cores appropriate for their system capabilities.

Will the price change after Early Access?

The price during Early Access may differ from the price after Early Access concludes. Pricing adjustments, if any, are subject to change as development progresses.
