Understand PANACHES, your data and your first steps.

The website presents the project, resources and community. PANACHES Desktop remains the workshop where you work, try the software and activate your license.

Things to know

PANACHES Desktop is the working workshop: your files, notes and sources stay in your environment by default.
Ambre helps you summarize, write, code and retrieve information, but you always keep the final validation.
The browser, documents, media and code stay connected to the same project to reduce tool switching.

If you are getting started

Start from the PANACHES welcome screen, then open a single module based on your current goal.
Create a note or project folder before adding several sources.
Try Ambre on a simple document before using it on a large set of files.

Does the website replace PANACHES Desktop?

No. The site is the media layer, community, resource library and download point. The desktop app remains the workspace.

Does the trial require a bank card?

No. The 7-day trial is included in the desktop application.

How do I manage my subscription?

From PANACHES, subscription management opens a secure Stripe customer session.

Do my creative files go to the cloud?

PANACHES is local-first. Software data stays local by default, except explicit online services such as Stripe for payment.

What machine do I need for local AI?

The desktop base mostly depends on OS, RAM and storage. Ambre models add their own needs: start with a light model, then adjust according to CPU, GPU, VRAM and observed latency.

Does local RAG replace human verification?

No. Ambre helps retrieve and synthesize local sources, but citations, dates, excerpts and limits remain yours to verify before any decision or publication.

Can the integrated terminal run system commands?

The editor includes an integrated terminal for trying commands or checking scripts in your workspace.

What can I do if PANACHES feels slow with a large project?

Close unused items, choose a lighter AI model if needed, check available space and keep projects organized in clear folders.
