Experimental AI Researcher- Applied theoretical systems Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Elephas- the streamliner brain system" May 12, 2025 4.0 I couldn't really be happier, it pretty much streamlined what was already streamlined!! Made my project way easier and I finished 5 more in 1/3 the time it normally would have taken me. Pros Where to start.. pretty much if you have a knowledge base that is specialized- Elephas's Brain makes it way way way better than it can be. Cons ?? What if I liked everything?? Seriously I honestly never had any problems and It's something I like! Review Source Response from Elephas October 3, 2025 Thanks so much for the kind words CS Christian S. Chef Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Top Product!" July 27, 2025 5.0 I use the Elephas app regularly in the medical field, mainly to work with PDFs of scientific articles. The app is reliable, stable, and supports me excellently in my daily work. I especially appreciate how efficiently it helps me search and process medical content. Pros Elephas is feature-rich and also proves helpful in everyday tasks – for example, when writing emails or drafting quick texts. Cons While Elephas is a powerful and user-friendly tool, its AI sometimes feels noticeably weaker than using OpenAI’s API directly, especially for complex or highly specialized tasks. Review Source Response from Elephas October 3, 2025 Thanks for the kind words.. We're making the product stronger with every new release. Do check out the latest version, you will love it KS Kaushik S. Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Be super intelligent with Elephas" June 1, 2025 5.0 My experience is very good with Elephas regarding article writing, chat with super brain, presentation maker Pros Super Brain in Elephas is excellent You can create any content You can create presentations You can chat with your files Cons Can’t use updated models without BYOK API Can’t create mind maps Can’t create infographics Cloud hosting required Review Source Response from Elephas October 3, 2025 Thanks for the kind words. We're working on support for the latest models in an upcoming release, you should be able to access them soon. GCS Gil C S. Executive Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I Speaketh My Truth, or How I Learned to Embrace A New Tool" December 17, 2024 4.0 Very good to excellent. I hate using tools that seem to add friction to my day and Elephas merged smoothly with my lack of routine and often scattershot approach to bringing concepts together. Has enough structure to keep me from getting a junk drawer, but not so much that I can't just jump in and jot down ideas and findings quickly. I like it and will keep using it Pros Ease of use. I have tried several KMS apps, but I am keen on finding tools that adapt well to me rather than have me go through a learning curve. I also work across several fields (business, tech, non-profit development, start-ups, education, health, fiction writing, and a few more) and wanted a system that allowed me to quickly cross-connect without hiding things in folders and sub-folders festooned with tags. I'm not 100% up to speed on Elephas, it doesn't do everything I would want (its coffee-making skills are sorely lacking), but it has become a daily tool within a week of trying it. That's a win and I look forward to doing more with it Cons It needs some templates for creative work, but I don't know if that's actually necessary or me trying to save time where it isn't possible. And maybe a little more "look-and-feel" customization, but that is far from a deal-breaker Review Source LT Leonardo T. model artist Computer Games Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Elephas, Is this AI tool really that good?" June 15, 2025 5.0 I must admit my overall experience with Elephas was great. The command to summon any LLM of my choice was a complete time saver. Pros Elephas is a great AI product; It provides a new way to interact with your notes, ideas and documents. Personally, my favorite feature of elephas was the quick summon for the LLM of my choice. Cons Even though Elephas is a great overall product, the free trial ended before I could really get to enjoy the product. Due my lack of time with the product, I finally stopped using it. Review Source Response from Elephas October 3, 2025 Thanks for the kind review. Please try again, we now have a free version as well with all pro features with limited credits, I think you will love it LO Lauren O. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Most effective AI tool yet!" April 12, 2025 4.0 My overall experience has been positive. Using Elaphas has saved me a lot of time and has significantly improved my workflow. Pros The clean and simple UI. Easily customisable. Large amount of great features. Able to retain huge amounts of data. Regular emails with tips and support. Protection of privacy and syncs across different devices. Cons A few minor bugs can cause it to become a bit unstable sometimes. However, the developers are very much on top of things and bugs are fixed with the frequent updates. Review Source KB Kevin B. Professional Engineer Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful and easy to use AI assistant" December 6, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source WA Wessam A. Founder Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Elephas versatile, context aware AI tool" December 8, 2024 5.0 Ease of use, versatile customization, bug free Pros Elephas is very easy to use and its very context aware on my mac. I just default to use it all the time. Not just like those software you install and then forget about, this one calls the necessity to be used in many default and custom ways. Cons not much really anything to complain about! Review Source GR Gabriel R. Founding Partner, Chief Technology Officer Government Relations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "If they take away Elephas from me I will lose my job" September 13, 2024 5.0 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.

Junior software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Deep Dive into Elephas" December 10, 2024 5.0 It has an ability to manage documents, retrieve data accurately, and has flexibility to handle various file types to its offline mode for privacy. Pros Elephas Super Brain: Personalized AI experience. Sync with iCloud Frequent updates Cons Record Notes, Write Code and can Improve tutorial Review Source BW Ben W. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "King of AI clients" December 10, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Response from Elephas December 16, 2024 Thanks a lot for the kind words RGP Rigoberto Genaro P. Técnico NII PND Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "mi Elephas IA" December 6, 2024 5.0 Es una aplicación muy fluida y sencilla de usar una vez comprendiendo todo lo que puedes hacer con ella. Pros Me gustó la manera sencilla en la que corrige mi gramática para escritos en correo o páginas web, además de que la puedo usar en el teléfono para cualquier duda. Cons Que a veces, con una referencia ya escrita, te traduce el texto a otro idioma del original en el que está escrito. Review Source SS Severi S. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Native mac app with your own custom AI" December 27, 2024 5.0 Responsive developer and frequent updates. Happy so far, even though I'm only utilizing a small set of features. Pros It makes text processing with AI anywhere on your Mac or iPhone using your own styles and custom trained models so easy. Cons Learning curve is steep, and UI could use a polish. Review Source Response from Elephas January 6, 2025 Thanks for the kind words. Major UI update is in the works, should be released in the next couple of weeks. AB Aaron B. Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great AI companion" October 2, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source BS Benjamin S. CTO and founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product. Try it!" September 6, 2024 5.0 Found it. Tried it. Love it. Use it daily. Pros Love the menu bar usage and brain functionality Cons Not a ton of cons. Use it every day and still even as other products keep showing up Review Source ZK Zane K. Communications Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unmatched Mac Native AI Assistant" September 14, 2024 4.0 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. Switched from [Claude](https://www.capterra.com/p/10011218/Claude/)[ChatGPT](https://www.capterra.com/p/10009334/ChatGPT/) I wanted to utilize my own AI API, and I believe Elephase was the best choice back then, and it still is in my view! Review Source GW George W. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Elephas = \*\*Usable\*\* On Demand AI everywhere" September 6, 2024 5.0 Pros This app is truly impressive and comes in handy in multiple ways. Its native AI on command. Cons There is undoubtedly a learning curve, but that is to be expected. At first the UI was a bit clunky, but got used to it. Review Source Response from Elephas September 12, 2024 Thanks for the kind words, we've making the UI smoother every day, you should start to feel the difference with the next update. MM Mal M. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use tool" September 13, 2024 4.0 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. Switched from [ChatGPT](https://www.capterra.com/p/10009334/ChatGPT/) I wanted the superbrain ability to draw from my own original content Review Source SS Sujal S. Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "constructive feedback about Elephas" September 3, 2024 5.0 It has been great. I really love using it. I used to use other chatbots but I use Elephas the most. Pros It helps me correct my grammar and is very consistent with my writing style. Cons It takes a lot of processing time and I think the team can work on decreasing the processing time. Review Source Response from Elephas September 9, 2024 Thanks so much for the kind words, we are working on improving performance of Elephas, and you should experience improvements in the next release. DW Dave W. Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love the super brain and snippets " September 14, 2024 4.0 Pros Being able to create snippets that I can invoke, and also the super brain Cons It’s not the most polished, and synching across devices doesn’t fully work as one would expect. But I’m sure they will improve it. Review Source BJ Binayak J.

VR Verified Reviewer Owner Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of my most used tools" May 23, 2023 5.0 Elephas is best thought of as a force-multiplier for productivity tasks which is a unique application of GPT3/4 which is enabled by its deep integration into macOS. Pros Elephas is an incredibly useful tool. It is built into macOS, making it very easy to integrate into existing workflows. It also provides a great chatbot front-end for chatgpt, making it a great way to automate tasks and streamline communication. Cons Elephas is a great tool, but it could use some improvements. The lack of an auto-update mechanism is a bit of a letdown, and the UI could use a bit more polish. Review Source Response from Elephas May 24, 2023 Thanks so much for your kind words, we're working on the auto-update mechanism and improving the UI, you should start seeing improvements from the next update.
