AI on your phone: choose a workflow before choosing an app

Decide whether you need conversation, voice, planning or offline text, then check what the application actually supports on your device.

AI on your phone: choose a workflow before choosing an app — illustration

Start with the task

Phone AI tools can have very different jobs: answer questions, dictate text, organise tasks or run a local language model. Choose the workflow you need most often and test it with an example from your day.

For a planning tool, check dates, reminders and notification permissions. For a voice assistant, check recognition and speech output separately. For local AI, confirm the supported model format and your device’s memory before downloading a large file.

Understand where processing happens

A cloud service sends the request to its provider and needs a network connection. A compatible local model can process text on the phone after its initial download. Some features may still use a service even when the chat model is local.

Check internet search, speech, image processing and synchronisation separately. An offline text reply does not establish that every feature works without a connection.

Use a short first-run check

  1. Install from the official source named by the developer.
  2. Check platform and memory requirements.
  3. Set up the account or download the supported model.
  4. Grant permissions for the features you intend to use.
  5. Ask a new question and inspect the result.
  6. For reminders, verify the time and delivery on your phone.

Compare the app’s license with the cost of any external AI service. Free installation does not necessarily include unlimited cloud requests.

Which Denny mobile product do you mean?

Personal Denny for Android is separate from the Agents companion. Existing Android owners can request their APK and updates through AFTEAM; new sales are being prepared. iOS is in development.

The Agents mobile companion is in testing and is intended for continuing agent work after stepping away from the Mac. For its current configuration, the Mac must stay on and online and agent control requires the full Agents license. It is not a substitute for the personal Android assistant.
