FAQ
Answers to the most important questions about our AI products
What is Andromeda?
Andromeda is a complete solution for local AI on your PC. It's an all-in-one package that lets you run powerful AI models directly on your computer — no cloud required, no internet needed.
With Andromeda, you're in full control. Your data stays on your device, and you decide when and if anything connects to the internet. It's AI that works for you, not against your privacy.
Where can I buy Andromeda?
Andromeda will be available through Steam Early Access at launch, priced at €14.99.
We're exploring additional platforms and may offer direct purchases through our website in the future — stay tuned for updates!
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Andromeda runs completely offline. You only need internet for the initial download and optional updates.
Some optional features (like web search) may use the internet, but that's always your choice. The core AI functionality works entirely on your local machine.
What are the system requirements?
We're working hard to make Andromeda run on as many systems as possible, including less powerful hardware.
Exact requirements are still being finalized during Early Access. Check the Steam page for current specifications — we'll update them as we optimize the software.
Do I need a powerful graphics card (GPU)?
A dedicated GPU is helpful but not required. Andromeda works without a high-end graphics card.
Our built-in Smart Model Manager automatically detects your system's capabilities and shows you which AI models will run well on your hardware:
What languages does Andromeda support?
At launch, the user interface will be available in approximately 15 languages.
Our goal is to eventually support all major languages so everyone around the world can use Andromeda in their native language.
Note: UI language is separate from the AI's language capabilities, which depend on the underlying models.
How do updates work?
Updates are delivered through Steam, just like any other Steam game or software. You'll receive improvements, bug fixes, and new features automatically.
Can I use Andromeda for commercial purposes?
Yes! You can use Andromeda for personal projects, in your business, or as part of your professional work.
The only restriction: you cannot resell or redistribute the Andromeda software itself. Use it all you want — just don't sell it.
What happens to my data?
Your data stays on your PC. That's the core principle of local AI.
All your conversations and files remain on your device. We're also planning a one-click export feature so you can easily back up or transfer your chats.
If you use optional internet features (like web search), only the data needed for that specific request is sent — and that's entirely your choice.
Is there a free demo version?
Not yet, but a demo is planned!
We're working on making a free demo available so you can try Andromeda before purchasing. Keep an eye on our Steam page and social media for announcements.

Why the name "Andromeda"?
The name comes from our love of astronomy — specifically the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor.
To us, "Andromeda" sounds futuristic, powerful, and elegant. It fits our vision of bringing advanced AI technology to everyone's PC. It's about reaching for the stars while keeping your feet (and your data) firmly on the ground.
