Why local

Your data stays where you do.

Every other AI assistant ships your work off to a provider’s cloud to get an answer. AskQP runs the intelligence on your own machine instead. That one choice is what makes everything else on this page possible.

Private by physics

Other AI assistants upload your work to their own cloud. AskQP keeps it on your device, so there is no copy on an outside server to breach, subpoena, or train on.

Works where the internet can't

No connection required. Run it on a plane, in a secure facility, or fully air-gapped.

Your hardware, your rules

Your models run at your machine's full speed, with no per-answer metering and no queue.

Provable, because you hold it

It runs where you control it, so every action seals into a record only you can produce.

The safest place for your work is the one you already control.

CRISPR-Cas9 delivery in solid tumors

A review of lipid nanoparticle and viral vector approaches, with implications for clinical translation in pediatric oncology.

Background

Targeted gene editing has progressed rapidly since the first clinical trials in 2019. Despite proven efficacy in liquid tumors, solid-tumor delivery remains the central bottleneck. 7 papers cited

The field has converged on three primary delivery modalities: AAV vectors, lentiviral systems, and lipid nanoparticles. Each comes with tradeoffs in payload capacity, immunogenicity, and tropism.

One Space, everywhere

One Space. Every surface.

The same files, rules, and context follow you everywhere you work. One encrypted Space, present on your Mac, in your pocket, and on compute you control.

Your encrypted Space
Keys live on your devices

Desktop Hub

The full workspace. Your models, your Vault, and your Commands, running on your Mac.

iPhone

Capture, review, and approve from your pocket. The same Space, synced and sealed.

Holds the key

Burst compute

Reach for more power when a job needs it. It runs the work, then forgets it.

Sees only sealed blobs

Plaintext never leaves a node that holds the key. Sync moves sealed blobs, nothing a relay can open.

How Spaces work

The companion in your pocket

Capture anywhere. Finish everywhere.

Catch the idea the second it lands. Sit down at your desktop and turn it into finished work. Same private files, same context, one Space that follows you.

  1. Capture on your phone

    A photo, a voice note, a passing thought. It lands in your Space, searchable, the moment you save it.

  2. Author on your desktop

    Everything you captured is waiting when you sit down. Turn raw notes into finished work.

  3. Finish with more power when you need it

    Hand the heavy lifting to burst compute for the final push, then seal the result.

Sealed by math

Tamper-evident by math. Not by policy.

Every meaningful action seals into a signed, hash-chained record. Each entry locks the one before it. Change a single entry and the chain visibly breaks. Not a log. A proof you can hand to an auditor.

audit chain
  1. #14218Vault ingest · grant-2024.pdf
  2. #14219Draft · methodology.md
  3. #14220Approved · report published
  4. #14221Entry altered after seal✗ hash mismatch

Alter one sealed entry and its hash stops matching the next. The break is impossible to hide.

Signed twice

Every action carries two independent signatures. One is proven by decades of use today. The other is built to outlast the computers of tomorrow. An attacker has to break both at once to forge a single thing.

Sealed today. Sealed in 2050.

Work you seal now stays sealed for decades. What you protect today still holds when tomorrow’s computers arrive, so the record you keep is one you can still stand behind.

Who it’s for

Built for people whose work has to hold up.

Researchers & scientists

Synthesize the literature, keep every claim cited, and prove the trail from source to conclusion.

Founders & operators

Draft, research, and decide faster, while your roadmap stays on hardware you control.

Analysts & consultants

Turn scattered files into defensible analysis a client can trust, line by line.

Regulated & security-conscious teams

Run where the internet cannot reach, and prove exactly what the AI did when someone asks.

What is AskQP?

AskQP is a downloadable desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that gives you a private, local-first AI workspace. It runs models on your machine by default, supports cloud actions on demand for frontier-model work, and seals every meaningful operation into a tamper-evident audit trail.

How is AskQP different from a chat assistant?

AskQP runs locally on your hardware by default, so your files and prompts never leave your machine for routine work. It is workflow-first rather than chat-first: you compose atomic Commands inside scoped Spaces, and the Conductor plans, executes, and audits each step. Cloud actions exist for frontier models but are stateless and trained on nothing.

Does AskQP run on my machine?

Yes. AskQP is a native desktop application (macOS, Windows, Linux). Local AI models run entirely on your hardware. Cloud actions are opt-in per request and execute on stateless GPU instances that wipe memory between runs and never persist your prompts or outputs.

How much does AskQP cost?

Three tiers: Starter is $49/month with 100 cloud actions, Professional is $149/month with 500 cloud actions, and Team is $349/month with 1,500 cloud actions and multi-user features. All plans include the full desktop app, Vault, voice interface, and offline local AI.

Which operating systems does AskQP support?

macOS 12 and later (Apple Silicon or Intel), Windows 10+ 64-bit, and Linux including Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 39+, and Arch. The app needs 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended for running local AI models, and 20 GB free disk space.
