Scott's profile picture

The Super Brain feature is brilliant for those who wish to generate articles from their own content. It's a great feature for Subject Matter Experts.

Chakradhari - Security Architect, India

I work across several fields (business, tech, non-profit development, start-ups, education, health, fiction writing, and a few more) and wanted a system that allowed me to quickly cross-connect without hiding things in folders and sub-folders festooned with tags.

Gil C - Executive Director

I like how easy it is to create specialized brains based on personal or professional files, documents, notes, and web pages in the application. I have personally created hundreds of reports over my career, and I can upload those and those of my colleagues to create a specialized brain.

Hours Lost Searching

You spend too much time hunting for information instead of using it productively.

Manual Task Switching

Constantly jumping between apps disrupts your focus and creative flow.

Information Overload is Real

You struggle to make sense of large amounts of data, documents, and digital content.

What Users Say About Super Brain

Real feedback from Elephas users on

Capterra

Great in-line AI and RAG Tool!

In-line use of AI and use of “Super Brains” to allow query of your own content.

Scott United States

If they take away Elephas from me I will lose my job

I am biased when it comes to talking about Elephas; I use it for absolutely everything. From rewriting a text for me to reminding me of facts I didn't even remember (with Brain).

Gabriel Brazil

Elephas versatile, context aware AI tool

Ease of use, versatile customization, bug free. Elephas is very easy to use and its very context aware on my mac. I just default to use it all the time. Not just like those software you install and then forget about, this one calls the necessity to be used in many default and custom ways.

Wessam United Arab Emirates

Flexible AI tool with superb functionality

The Super Brain function is brilliant. It's my daily driver. Also, I can use chat with a local LLM, so everything stays local. And it can export the results directly into a Keynote presentation - if you have a ready presentation template, you can be set in 5 minutes.

Kamil Poland

Elephas Super Brain

The Super Brain feature is great, it helps a lot that you can sync it with your phone and have it available at all times

Jose India

Elephas AI: The Good, The Great, The Semi-Bad, and the Polished “Uglies”

It's not web-based or a web app which I like and prefer, but it also doesn't look as sexy as the web apps you see. Frankly, I could care less about that once you get a handle on the user interface, which isn’t the most intuitive it all of a sudden clicks and it becomes incredibly intuitive. I started slow with this app as many contenders were taking up my attention, but I kept coming back to it, and it has now solidified itself as they go to for multiple second brain, knowledge bases I have branded and optimized within my account.

Stephen United States

King of AI clients

I've tried pretty much every local AI client on my Mac, but Elephas may be the best. Really centres on building knowledge bases (aka 'Brains') which is a common use case I have. Also provides all the other tools you'd expect (chat, text replacement, personas/tones etc).
