FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before you start.
Getting started
Do I need to know how to code?
No. If you can copy, paste and follow a video, you can do this. Every step is click-by-click, and our support team is there if you get stuck.
What do I need to get started?
An iPhone or Android phone, a computer for the 30-minute setup, and a VPS hosting account, about $12/month, paid directly to the hosting provider.
How long does setup take?
Most people finish in about 30 minutes: around 10 to claim the server, 10 to run the installer, and 5 to add it to your phone.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Your Private Pocket AI is a secure web app that you add to your home screen, so it behaves like any other app on both platforms.
Privacy and ownership
Is it really private?
Your AI runs on a private server that you rent and control, using an open-source AI model. Your conversations are not sent to OpenAI, Google or any other AI company, and you can delete everything at any time.
Do I own my AI?
Yes. The server is in your name, and your Private Pocket AI keeps working even if you cancel Pocket Circle.
Can you see my conversations?
No. Your chats live on your server. We never receive them. If you ask support for help, you decide what to share with us.
Quality and performance
How smart and fast is it?
We use modern open-source AI models that handle everyday writing, planning, summarising and questions well. Speed depends on the server plan, and the program shows you exactly which one to choose. It will not match the very largest paid cloud models on every task, and we are upfront about that.
Can I use it offline?
It needs an internet connection to reach your server, but it does not depend on any third-party AI service.
Pricing, membership and refunds
What is Pocket Circle?
Our optional membership: new skills every month, one-click model upgrades, a monthly live Q&A, a members community and priority support. Your first month is free, then $19/month. Cancel anytime.
What does the program cost in total?
The Pocket Launch Program is a one-time $49.90. Your server is billed separately by the hosting provider (about $12/month). Pocket Circle is optional.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If the program isn’t for you, email us within 30 days for a full refund. See our refund policy for details.
