Where the model runs is a decision

Every AI feature runs a model somewhere. Where that is decides what leaves your computer, what it costs to run and what it can handle.

On your device

The model downloads once and runs in your browser. The file you give it is not uploaded. It is limited by your own hardware, so a long recording takes minutes, not seconds.

Meeting TranscriberBackground Remover

On a server

Your text goes to a hosted model. It is more capable and needs nothing installed, but what you paste leaves your device. Our SQL, Python, Terminal and Power BI assistants work this way.

FAQ

Quick answers on Web Development

Short answers about this topic. Open only what you need.

What do these guides cover?

Small web products, content sites and multi-site setups — the kind where the build, the content model and the reporting have to work together.

Which stack is this site built with?

Next.js, React and TypeScript, with AI-assisted development workflows for the day-to-day work.

What are the tools on this page for?

The small jobs in a site's workflow: convert an image, cut out a background, make a favicon, take a screenshot, pick a colour from an image, turn a Word document into HTML. They are free.

Why ship small instead of building the whole thing?

Because the point is to test, ship and learn. A small tool that works this week tells you more than a large one still being planned.
