About Private LLM
Use Cases
Use Case 1: Confidential Business Analysis and Strategy
Problem: Executives and consultants often need to analyze sensitive company data, financial reports, or proprietary strategies. Sending this information to cloud-based AI services (like ChatGPT or Claude) poses a significant data privacy risk, as that data may be used for model training or stored on external servers.
Solution: Private LLM runs entirely on-device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac). Because it requires no internet connection and has "no cloud, no tracking," users can paste confidential text into the interface for analysis without the risk of data leaks.
Example: A business analyst on a long-haul flight without Wi-Fi uses Private LLM on their MacBook to summarize a 50-page internal merger proposal and generate a SWOT analysis. The data never leaves the laptop, ensuring total compliance with corporate privacy policies.
Use Case 2: On-the-Go Content Creation for Travel Creators
Problem: Travel vloggers and journalists often work in remote locations with poor or non-existent internet connectivity. Traditional AI tools become useless without a stable connection, hindering their ability to draft scripts, social media captions, or blog posts while in the field.
Solution: Private LLM’s "No Internet? No Problem!" feature allows creators to access powerful models like Llama 3.3 or Mistral anywhere. It turns an iPad or iPhone into a portable creative workstation that doesn't rely on cellular data or satellite links.
Example: A travel photographer in a remote national park uses Private LLM on their iPhone to generate descriptive captions for their photos and a rough draft for a blog post. Since the AI is local, it responds instantly despite the lack of signal.
Use Case 3: Automated Privacy-First Workflows for Developers
Problem: Developers often need to parse logs, reformat JSON, or explain code snippets but want to avoid uploading proprietary code to the cloud. Furthermore, switching between a coding environment and a browser-based AI tool breaks the "flow state."
Solution: Using Apple Shortcuts and the x-callback-url support, developers can integrate Private LLM directly into their macOS or iOS workflows. This allows for system-wide AI assistance that can be triggered by a hotkey or a right-click menu.
Example: A developer creates a macOS Shortcut that takes selected code from Xcode, sends it to Private LLM to check for syntax errors or to generate documentation, and then pastes the result back into the editor—all without the code ever touching the internet.
Use Case 4: Uncensored Creative Writing and World Building
Problem: Professional fiction writers and screenwriters often find that mainstream AI tools have overly restrictive "safety" filters that block them from writing about conflict, crime, or mature themes essential for storytelling.
Solution: Private LLM provides access to "uncensored" open-source models. Writers can explore gritty plot points, realistic dialogue for "villain" characters, or intense action sequences without the AI refusing to answer or lecturing the user on ethics.
Example: A crime novelist uses Private LLM on their Mac to brainstorm realistic dialogue for a high-stakes interrogation scene. They use a system prompt to fine-tune the AI's "personality" to match their book's dark tone, knowing the AI won't flag the content as "inappropriate."
Use Case 5: Cost-Effective AI for Small Marketing Agencies
Problem: Marketing agencies often juggle multiple clients and want to provide AI tools to their staff, but per-user monthly subscriptions (SaaS) for AI can become a massive overhead cost for a small team.
Solution: Private LLM uses a "pay once, use forever" model with no subscriptions and supports Apple’s Family Sharing for up to six users. This allows a small boutique agency to equip their team with AI capabilities across Mac, iPhone, and iPad for a single, low one-time fee.
Example: A small marketing team of four uses Private LLM to brainstorm ad headlines and summarize client meeting notes. Instead of paying $80/month for four ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, they make a one-time purchase of Private LLM and share it via Family Sharing, significantly reducing their long-term software spend.
