01 / Work you already need to finish

Start with a job.
Not a blank chat.

Start with one report, spreadsheet or presentation you already need. Keep the first task small so you can check the result against your source material.

01 / CreateWord

The brief becomes
the document.

Turn notes and source material into Word briefs, PowerPoint presentations and PDF reports. Keep working in familiar file formats.

A first task to try

“Turn these meeting notes into a formatted Word brief with decisions and next steps.”

Notes & source files A document to review
02 / AnalyzeExcel

The spreadsheet
gets unstuck.

Clean up data, add a pivot table or build a financial model. Alpha Boffin can write and run the code needed for the calculation.

A first task to try

“Add a pivot table to this sales spreadsheet, grouped by month and product.”

Your spreadsheet Analysis you can inspect
03 / Research

The open tabs
become answers.

Research across sources, cross-reference findings and get a cited brief. Turn that research into a document or presentation.

A first task to try

“Research these three vendors and build a comparison in Excel, with source links.”

A research question A cited starting point

These are example workflows, not a promise that every model handles every task. Free local chat is included; tools and output quality depend on the model, task and setup. Check facts, calculations and important documents before use.

02 / Your work. Your choices.

One workspace.
Not one model.

Choose Claude, GPT, Gemini or an open model. Switch as the task changes. Your workspace doesn’t have to belong to one AI provider.

Local storage.
Clear boundaries.

Your conversations and files are stored on your computer by default. Keep model processing on your hardware, or send task content to a cloud provider you choose.

Using a local model

Model processing runs on your computer. Local chat can work offline; web research and connected apps still need internet access.

Using a cloud model

Content needed for a task is sent to the selected provider. Local storage does not mean cloud-model processing stays on your machine.

Settings sync via the cloud. Workspace cloud sync is optional. Alpha Boffin does not use submitted content to train general-purpose models by default.

03 / Beyond the first task

Bring the work together.
Then make it repeatable.

Connect the apps you already use. Add source documents to a knowledge base. Schedule recurring reports, research and summaries instead of starting from scratch.

An example recurring brief

Connected services require authorization. Availability and permissions depend on the service.

04 / Choose how you access AI

Start free.
Add cloud models when you need them.

Start with local chat at no charge. Use your own cloud-provider keys, or choose a paid plan so Alpha Boffin manages cloud access for you.

Local modelsYour computer, no model credits

Free chat on your hardware. Download a model first; performance depends on its size and your machine.

Your cloud API keysFree plan, separate provider bill

Bring your own keys. Cloud-model usage is billed by your provider, not included for free.

Managed cloud accessFrom $20/month in service credits

No separate model-provider keys to arrange. Choose a paid plan and let Alpha Boffin manage access.

These options describe model access, not a task-by-task feature guarantee. For a particular document or agent workflow, ask which model and setup it needs.

What do credits mean? The published terms assign 1,000 service credits per US dollar of subscription value. Credits measure usage, not a guaranteed number of reports or presentations.

Cancellation: cancel to stop future renewals. Fees are generally non-refundable, and current periods are not prorated, except where required by law. Read the subscription terms ↗

Know what to expect.
Start with one small task.

Alpha Boffin is desktop software, not a browser-only chat. Check your computer first, then choose the model access that fits your task.

01 / Check your machine

Leave room for the tools.

The download page lists 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended, and 50 GB free disk space. Local models have additional hardware considerations.

Check your OS and requirements ↗
02 / Choose your route

Local, your keys, or managed.

Pick a local model for free chat. For cloud processing, add your own provider keys or choose a managed credit plan.

03 / Review before sharing

Use a small, non-sensitive task.

Start with notes or a spreadsheet you can verify. Review the result before taking on larger workflows or authorizing connected services.

Ask a setup question ↗
What about permissions and connected services?

Google connections require your authorization through a consent screen. The published policy describes Gmail send access, calendar event access, and access to Drive files you explicitly select or create. Access can be revoked in app settings or your Google Account. Review the consent screen and the permissions for each service before connecting.

The self-serve policy also restricts highly sensitive personal information, including health records and government ID numbers. Read the full privacy policy ↗

A few good
questions.

Ask us something else
How is this different from an AI chatbot?

Alpha Boffin combines model chat with tools that create files, execute code, research the web, connect apps and schedule work. You can choose between multiple providers and local models in the same desktop app.

What can I do for free?

The Free plan includes unlimited chat with open models running on your hardware. You can also bring your own API keys for cloud models and pay those providers directly. Managed cloud access uses a paid credit plan.

Do I need a powerful computer?

Local models have different hardware requirements. Smaller options are available for lower-memory machines, while larger models need more RAM. Check the system requirements before choosing a model. Cloud models run with the provider rather than on your hardware.

Check system requirements ↗
Will everything work offline?

No. Chatting with a downloaded local model can work offline. Cloud models, web research, connected apps and other online services require an internet connection.

How many tasks will my credits cover?

There isn’t a fixed task count. The terms assign 1,000 service credits per US dollar of subscription value. Model choice and workload affect consumption. A short chat and a multi-step research task can consume different amounts. There is no guaranteed number of tasks per plan.

Is the product still in preview?

Yes. Alpha Boffin is labeled Production Preview. Review generated work carefully, especially calculations, sensitive documents and actions involving other services.
