# Tiles Privacy Homepage: https://www.tiles.run/ ## Overview A local-first, collaborative AI assistant that works for you. Built with open models and decentralized protocols. Tiles is built by Tiles Privacy, an independent team devoted to user agency. The website focuses on the public alpha, product documentation, plugins, release notes, support, sponsorship, and legal information. Homepage feature: Use local models on remote devices with `tiles remote share`, running local models on a remote device peer-to-peer from any device. Homepage feature (coming soon): Every chat is a sandbox — resume or share chats as sandboxed environments with friends or agents across devices. Homepage use cases: Individuals (plan finances, track health notes, and journal privately with local models, device sync, and sharing only when chosen); Coworking spaces (shared compute as private AI infrastructure with local models available from members’ own devices while keeping identity and data private); Researchers (review literature, analyze datasets, and run agents in preconfigured, resumable research sandboxes); Enterprises (deploy private agentic systems powered by open frontier models, secure users and agents with zero-trust authentication and authorization, simplify team management, and reduce infrastructure and model costs). ## Primary Pages - Homepage: https://www.tiles.run/ - Download: https://www.tiles.run/download macOS: The network and offline installers include only the CLI.
