Elephas is the best at bringing AI to my fingertips

5.0 7 months ago

Pros:

The killer feature is the close integration with my OS. I have AI superpowers every time I need them.

Cons:

You really need to know what you are doing. Elephas is great, and it's easy to use, but you really need knowledge to fully leverage AI content creation it its full extent.

A Five Star Experience with Elephas

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Elephas has been nothing short of fantastic. I am impressed by its sleek design and intuitive interface. It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into making the app user-friendly and easy to navigate.
The features that Elephas offers are really very useful. Whether it's the high level of customization, the speed and efficiency of the app, or the regular updates that keep making the app better, it's clear that Elephas is a cut above the rest.
In summary, Elephas is well-designed and incredibly feature-rich; however, there is still room for improvement, such as the addition of more learning videos with audio explanations.

Pros:

- Intuitive and easy to navigate interface, sleek/modern design - The app is packed with innovative features that make it stand out from the competition in most cases

Cons:

- Some features accessible only from the top bar menu, eg. GSheet formula and Unix options – these two I use daily.

Powerful and easy to use AI assistant

5.0 7 days ago New

Comments: I still consider myself a new user, but I have already had significant success in using it to prepare for meetings and even during meetings to refine existing chats and get information quickly. The application lends itself to immediate productive use without having to refer to user guides or tutorials. I have been able to be very productive from my first use and look forward to improving my expertise and proficiency.

Pros:

I like how easy it is to create specialized brains based on personal or professional files, documents, notes, and web pages in the application. I have personally created hundreds of reports over my career, and I can upload those and those of my colleagues to create a specialized brain. I also rely heavily on environmental codes and regulations, and now I can upload codes, ordinances, and regulations and get the specific answers I need with references to the relevant sections. This is a major time saver and game-changer for me.

Cons:

I have occasionally experienced large memory usage and have had to force quit and restart the app.

Unmatched Mac Native AI Assistant

4.0 3 months ago

Pros:

Elephas fits beautifully into my writing routine! I haven't come across any other app that offers such a great level of Mac integration along with a wide variety of AI tools and features.

Cons:

The UI is definitely getting better with every update, but it still feels a little lackluster and clunky.

Easy to use tool

4.0 3 months ago

Pros:

The presets for rewriting have been enormously helpful! I’ve experimented with superbrains a bit and need to finish putting in my writing and notes.

Cons:

For the superbrain: Because much of my own content is in audio format, it’s taking a while to upload and index all of it.

Elephas is just what I have been looking for!

4.0 12 months ago

Comments: Amazing! There are many apps that can do bits and pieces of what Elephas can do, but not all of it. Also, the utility of the super brains for so many different tasks, and the broad selection of different material they can include make Elephas stand out against any competition.

Pros:

The variety of stuff it can do within the same app.

Cons:

The indexing of pdfs into my super brains has been slow so far, but the team is on it.

Pros:

It's incredibly user-friendly and quick to use, especially the Smart brain function which is highly beneficial.

Cons:

If they take away Elephas from me I will lose my job

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: In general, I'm ElephasDicto, I simply use it for everything. In fact, I wish I had more time to study the documentation in depth - I feel that no matter how hard I try I'll never be able to use all the functions. I may not have Google, but I don't have Elephas.

Pros:

I am biased when it comes to talking about Elephas; I use it for absolutely everything. From rewriting a text for me to reminding me of facts I didn't even remember (with Brain). However, the platform won me over the day I simply asked if there was a way to change the app to Portuguese-BR in the keyboard settings on the iPhone, and the developer said he would look into it. Magically, days later, without any announcements, he added the feature. This kind of support is extremely rare to see (and I've seen it several times on Discord). In fact, I used Elephas to translate this, haha!

Cons:

1) I miss the possibility of setting a single model for all responses in the default settings section. In fact, I am available to help.

Flexible AI tool with superb functionality

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: It's a great tool, one of the earliest AI related tools I bought. No regrets whatsoever.

Pros:

The Super Brain function is brilliant. It's my daily driver. Also, I can use chat with a local LLM, so everything stays local. And it can export the results directly into a Keynote presentation - if you have a ready presentation template, you can be set in 5 minutes.

Cons:

The UI wasn't the greatest until the updates done a while ago.

A great AI companion

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I use it almost every day, and it has really helped me out with some tedious projects.

Pros:

It's always available and its "brain" function is incredibly useful.

Cons:

I wish it wouldn't quit entirely with a cmd-q, because I accidentally quit it when I want to just close the window.

Elephas as a single AI assistant

4.0 6 months ago

Pros:

All AI features one placeOne place. The continue writing and rewrite features are also standout aspects of Elephas. They have become essential tools in my writing process, helping me to stay focused and productive. The ability to use Elephas to reply to emails and write documents is a significant time saver, and the smart write feature has been instrumental in streamlining my workflow.

Cons:

While I have been generally satisfied with Elephas, there are a few aspects that could be improved. One of the things I like least about Elephas is the occasional occurrence of errors in the Super Brain functionality. This can be frustrating when I am trying to use it to bounce ideas off of or keep my ebook collection organized.

Elephas versatile, context aware AI tool

5.0 5 days ago New

Comments: Ease of use, versatile customization, bug free

Cons:

not much really anything to complain about!

the ability to upload documents and use multiple models to interact with them. The ability to use this "brain" anywhere.

I wish there was a subscription model where they included access to all AI models instead of users having to use their keys.

King of AI clients

5.0 3 days ago New

Comments: I've tried pretty much every local AI client on my Mac, but Elephas may be the best. Really centres on building knowledge bases (aka 'Brains') which is a common use case I have. Also provides all the other tools you'd expect (chat, text replacement, personas/tones etc).

Pros:

Makes RAG and local knowledge base creation very easy!

Cons:

A few UI quirks but overall it's a solid experience.

Pros:

The amount of features that it has and how it directly integrates into the OS is incredible.

Cons:

The only complaint I have is that I wish I had a longer subscription or free trial! 🥰
