What does Frodo do?

Frodo is a chatbot that operates directly within your web browser. Unlike most AI assistants that process your queries on remote servers, Frodo runs completely on your own device. This means your conversations never leave your computer, offering a high degree of privacy. It requires a browser that supports WebGPU, such as Chrome, Edge, or Arc, to function.

The tool is built on the TinyLlama model, a compact language model designed to be efficient enough to run locally. Because it works offline in your browser, there are no accounts to create, no subscriptions to manage, and no waiting for server responses. The primary feature is its privacy-first design; your data stays with you. The interface is straightforward, focusing on the core function of asking questions and getting answers.

Frodo is ideal for anyone who needs quick answers or wants to experiment with AI but is concerned about data privacy. It's useful for students researching sensitive topics, professionals brainstorming ideas they don't want logged, or simply for users curious about how local AI works. It's a simple, no-frills tool for private, on-device conversations.
