Why teams switch

Cloud assistants spill secrets. Pio keeps them tucked in.

Keep your data where it belongs—under your control. Pio eliminates the privacy, cost, and latency headaches of cloud-first AI.

Cloud data leaks
Personal notes, client documents, and research shouldn't live on someone else's server.
Subscription fatigue
Slow, pricey API calls chew through budgets. Keep your assistant without the monthly bill.
Offline blind spots
Spotty Wi-Fi shouldn't freeze your workflow. Pio works perfectly from coffee shops to cabins.

Deep dives

Built for power users and curious makers alike

Under the friendly mascot lives a serious stack engineered for speed, privacy, and delight.

Conversational magic
Interrupt mid-sentence, change tone, or ask follow-ups—the on-device voice stack keeps up instantly.

Metadata stays encrypted at rest. Delete a note and it disappears completely—no copies, no caches, no surprises.

From featherweight 3B chats to richer 7B storytellers, every pack is signed and auditable before it touches your drive.
