Can AI review a contract without uploading it to the cloud?
Yes. FolioCore performs the entire analysis on-device using local AI models on Apple Silicon. No network call is made during processing and no document, excerpt or embedding ever leaves the Mac.
Is FolioCore safe for privileged client documents?
FolioCore runs offline, opens files read-only, requires no account and sends no telemetry. The publisher never receives or stores your documents, so there is no third party in the chain of custody.
Does FolioCore replace legal judgment?
No. FolioCore locates clauses, extracts values and compares versions, and it cites the page behind every finding. Interpretation, negotiation and advice remain with the attorney. Think of it as triage, not verdict.
Which checklists are included?
Standard packages cover M&A due diligence, supply and services contracts, patent filing triage and NDAs. Extended packages for commercial leases, GDPR data processing agreements and professional indemnity policies are downloadable. The Full license lets you build and import your own.
What Mac does it require?
Any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 26 runs checklists and extraction. Chat with Document and Semantic Redline need 16GB of memory or more.
