Synsira

Kind, privacy-first desktop AI that indexes, summarizes and tags a user's own documents, notes, audio, video, email inboxes and images and answers questions only from that material; Kind Hybrid Pro runs most of the work on the desktop and sends privacy-preserving queries to a cloud LLM for deeper analysis, while Kind Local Pro runs entirely on the user's computer and works offline.
