Frequently asked questions

What makes TeXise AI different?

TeXise separates browser Local AI, verified-local Ollama, and BYOK AI while keeping AI source changes reviewable and integrating Paper Memory and AI Review.

Does Ollama always mean local inference?

Yes. TeXise distinguishes locally installed Ollama models from Ollama Cloud-backed models. Local Ollama works with Privacy Mode on or off; Ollama Cloud is available only when Privacy Mode is off and is labelled as cloud execution.

Can I use TeXise without AI?

Yes. AI is optional; the LaTeX editor, compiler and project workflow do not depend on an AI provider.
