What you get

You get AI help with more control over privacy and energy use.

You can use AI on your Mac without sending every task to a cloud service. Weave lets you run smaller models locally for private, energy-efficient work, or access larger cloud models from the same chat when you need them. You can also see real-time estimates of energy use and carbon emissions, so you have a clearer picture of your AI habits.

You can research the web through private search that runs through your own device, keeping your browsing habits to yourself. By connecting your mail, calendar, documents, and storage, you can work with information from several sources in one place. Meeting transcription also gives you a written record to refer back to.

For work you repeat, you can schedule one-time or recurring tasks that use tools such as web search and email. Instead of starting each report or research job manually, you can return to completed work.

  • Keep local tasks private

    You can run smaller AI models on your Mac rather than send every request to a cloud provider.

  • Understand your AI footprint

    You can see real-time energy and carbon-emissions estimates to make more informed choices about your AI use.

  • Research without sharing browsing habits

    You can search the web through your own device while keeping your browsing habits private.

  • Return to finished reports

    You can schedule research, reports, and documents once or repeatedly, with work handled in the background.

  • Use your existing information

    You can bring connected mail, calendars, documents, and storage into one place for AI-assisted work.

Best for

  • You want local AI for privacy-sensitive tasks
  • You regularly research topics and prepare reports
  • You want to understand your AI energy use

Skip it if

You may not need Weave if your current AI chat covers your needs and you do not want local models, connected data, or scheduled work.
