Informity AI
Informity AI is an open-source, locally-run Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tool built for users who refuse to compromise on privacy. Every document query, embedding, and response happens 100% on your own hardware — nothing ever touches the cloud. Simply load PDFs, Word docs, or Excel files and chat with them through a clean, intuitive interface. Answers always include source citations so you can verify claims instantly. Beyond general document Q&A, Informity ships with specialized AI roles for Financial, Legal, and Technical domains, giving domain-specific depth without sending sensitive data to third-party APIs. Optimized for Apple Silicon and designed for complete offline independence, it's the document intelligence tool for privacy-conscious professionals, researchers, and organizations with strict data residency requirements.
