“My computer was giving me problems with it. I sent an email and RECEIVED A CALL. It was the creator/tech person. He dropped everything to help me. Customer service is OUTSTANDING, ive not seen such great customer service since the 90s ,If you're thinking about getting this, DO IT. Its worth it.”

On every drive

Voice, vision, and a real desktop app

Firmware 1.8.0 ships a massively advanced SCOUT Vision: seven field scan modes (General, Plant ID, Mushroom, Bug, Tracks, First Aid, Read Text), each returning a structured triage card with key markers, dangerous lookalikes, confidence ratings, and safety-first verdicts. The whole runtime also got faster, uses your hardware more fully, and adapts to your machine in real time. All local, all private.

FAQ

Common questions

Does it really work offline?+

Yes. The AI runs locally on your Windows 10/11 or macOS machine, no account, no cloud API key, no connection. Internet is only needed if you choose to download an optional update later.

What do I need to run it?+

A reasonably modern Windows 10/11 PC or Mac with at least 8 GB of RAM and a USB port. USB-C works fine with an adapter.

Is there a subscription or API key?+

No. You pay once for the PortableMind USB. The models run on your hardware with no recurring fees and no cloud keys.

What can it actually do?+

Chat, voice conversations, image and document recognition (SCOUT Vision), and phone access, all running locally on your machine with no internet required.

What's the difference between the tiers?+

PortableMind Digital ($69) is the entry point: the full v1.8.0 software flashed onto a 64 GB+ drive you already own, delivered instantly (Windows setup). v1.8.0 ($99) is our hardware, flashed and shipped, with voice, the advanced SCOUT Vision (7 field modes), multi-modal chat, in-app Model Manager, phone access, and macOS. MAX-SPEED v1.8.0 ($139) is v1.8.0 on a 400 MB/s drive for faster boots and model switching.

Offline AI. Ready the moment you plug in.

One USB, one payment. Voice, vision, chat, and phone access, running locally on your hardware, with no cloud to depend on.
