## Fluid Intelligence
FluidVoice is fully open source under GPLv3. **Fluid Intelligence** is a separate, privately maintained local AI runtime that powers advanced on-device dictation enhancement — smart formatting, context-aware capitalization, and post-processing — all running locally on your Mac.
The app works great on its own with any supported speech model and optional cloud AI providers. Fluid Intelligence adds a fully local, private AI layer for users who want on-device enhancement without sending data anywhere.
We're keeping Fluid Intelligence private for now so we can sustainably offer the core dictation experience for free. This may change in the future.
