Try Free for 7 DaysThe Challenge: Juggling 5-8 Clients Without Losing Context
As a solo consultant or independent professional, you're running multiple client engagements simultaneously. Each client has their own industry context, strategic priorities, deliverables, and history of discussions. Switching between these contexts dozens of times per day isn't just mentally exhausting—it's a liability. You can't afford to forget what you promised in last month's proposal or miss a key insight from a stakeholder interview.
The traditional solution—digging through folders, searching email threads, re-reading PDFs—wastes hours every week. Cloud-based AI tools like ChatGPT can't help with confidential client data because of NDAs and privacy requirements. You need something better: an AI assistant that knows every client intimately, works completely offline, and gives you instant answers without compromising confidentiality.
Pain Points Every Consultant Faces:
- Context switching drains mental energy: Moving between Client A's healthcare transformation and Client B's tech stack modernization requires complete mental resets multiple times daily
- Repeating similar research for every project: You've analyzed competitive positioning five times this year, but each analysis is buried in a different client folder
- Can't recall what you promised 3 weeks ago: Walking into a client meeting blind because you can't remember the exact deliverables timeline you committed to
- Confidential data can't go to cloud AI: NDAs and privacy concerns mean ChatGPT and Claude are off-limits for your most valuable client information
Your AI Second Brain: One Super Brain per Client
Elephas transforms how consultants manage client knowledge. Create a dedicated Super Brain for each client engagement, upload all relevant documents—RFPs, meeting notes, research, frameworks, interview transcripts, proposals—and query it conversationally. Ask "What did I promise in the last proposal?" or "What are the recurring themes from stakeholder interviews?" and get instant, cited answers. All processing happens locally on your Mac, so client data never touches the cloud.
Think of it as having a dedicated research analyst for each client—one who has perfect memory, never sleeps, and can synthesize insights across 100+ documents in seconds. Except instead of costing $75,000 per year per analyst, Elephas costs less than a business lunch.
Create Separate Super Brains for Each Client
Perfect information isolation. Client A's strategic plans never mix with Client B's competitive analysis. Each Super Brain becomes your dedicated knowledge base for that engagement.
Upload All Client Documents in Seconds
Drag and drop RFPs, research reports, meeting transcripts, stakeholder interviews, past proposals, frameworks, and reference materials. Elephas indexes everything instantly—PDFs, Word docs, notes, even email exports.
Query Conversationally with Natural Language
No complex search syntax. Just ask: "What did I promise in the last proposal?" or "Summarize the key concerns from the C-suite interviews" and get precise, cited answers pointing to specific documents.
Get Instant Answers—All Offline and Private
Everything runs locally on your Mac. Zero cloud exposure means you're NDA-compliant by default. Work on confidential client projects from anywhere—no internet required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep client data completely offline?
Yes. Elephas processes everything locally on your Mac using offline models like Llama. Your client data never touches external servers, never gets uploaded to the cloud, and never gets used for training AI models. Perfect for NDA-compliant consulting work.
How many clients can I manage with Elephas?
Unlimited. Create as many Super Brains as you need—one per client, per project, or per engagement type. There's no limit on the number of knowledge bases you can maintain, making it perfect for consultants juggling multiple concurrent engagements.
What file types work with Super Brain?
PDFs, Word documents (.docx), text files, Markdown, meeting notes, email exports, and more. Elephas indexes everything instantly and can query across 100+ documents simultaneously to give you comprehensive answers.
Is this GDPR/NDA compliant?
When using offline models (Llama, local AI), yes—100% compliant. Your data never leaves your device. For cloud models (GPT-4, Claude), data is sent to those providers, so use offline mode for confidential work. You have complete control over which model handles which data.
Which AI model is best for consulting work?
It depends on your needs. GPT-4 offers fast, high-quality responses. Claude excels at nuanced analysis and long documents. Local Llama models provide maximum privacy for confidential work. Most consultants use offline models for sensitive client data and cloud models for general research.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
Three key differences: (1) Elephas creates dedicated knowledge bases per client with your documents, while ChatGPT has no persistent memory; (2) Elephas works offline for confidential data, ChatGPT requires cloud connectivity; (3) Elephas is system-wide on Mac—write proposals, emails, and deliverables without switching apps.
Can I switch between cloud and offline models?
Yes, instantly. Create Super Brains with different model configurations. Use offline Llama for Client A's confidential M&A work, GPT-4 for Client B's market research, Claude for Client C's strategic analysis. Switch models per query or per project.
What if I work with a team of consultants?
You can export and share Super Brains with teammates. Each consultant maintains their own Elephas instance with access to shared knowledge bases. Perfect for boutique consulting firms or associates working on the same client engagement.
