Secure Files lets you work with documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and more — without ever uploading anything to a server.
Everything happens locally on your device, giving you full privacy and control.

- Unlimited files — add as many as you want.
- Multiple files — ask the AI to analyze or reason across several files at once.
- Full privacy — nothing leaves your system unless sent directly to your chosen BYOK model.
How It Works
- Before being sent to an LLM, each file is temporarily encoded and included only in that single request.
- AI Thing does not persist, store, log, or upload your files at any time.
- When you close the chat, it becomes fully inaccessible.
Privacy
- AI Thing never receives your files. They are never stored on our servers — not even temporarily.
- Files remain on your device. The encoded representation is used only to talk to the model you selected.
- Because you use your own model provider, your files go directly from your device to your chosen LLM, never through AI Thing.
