Local AI

Amber AI, the local AI assistant inside PANACHES.

Amber AI helps you summarize, write, code, document and retrieve information by working with your own sources. It stays local, private and optional: AI features are off by default and PANACHES remains usable without AI.

Chat and conversations

Talk with an AI designed to support your work when you decide to enable it: history, search, export and streaming responses depending on the model used.

File context

It can use your documents, code, Markdown notes and sources opened in PANACHES, without sending that context to a cloud service forced by default.

Personalization

Choose generation profiles, reusable prompts, settings and compatible models. Gemma 4 4B is offered as a recommended downloadable model, not imposed.

What it does

An AI built to help you understand, produce and decide.

  • Summarize web pages, PDFs, notes and long documents.
  • Generate code, tests, docstrings, READMEs and technical explanations.
  • Analyze your sources with semantic search, context-aware answers and citations when available.
  • Rewrite, translate, structure ideas and prepare usable content.
  • Track performance: response time, memory usage and active model.

AI, only if you want it. It helps you save time, keep the thread and work with your own sources, without replacing your judgment.

Local models

You keep control over the AI engine.

PANACHES does not impose AI. AI features are off by default: you choose to enable them, download a recommended model such as Gemma 4 4B, or use your own compatible models. The experience then depends on the installed model and the power of your machine.

Model library

Catalog, search, favorites, compatible local models and manual file selection for users who want to choose their AI engine.

Controlled downloads

No heavy model is installed without consent: downloads start from the application, with validation and local management of model files.

Controlled performance

Hardware detection, asynchronous loading and resource settings to adapt AI to your machine, or work without AI if that is your choice.
