1. Demystifying Artificial Intelligence: Your Journey Begins

Before we dive into the advanced capabilities of AirgapAI, let's establish a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence and what it means for you. If you've heard terms like "AI," "Large Language Models," or "ChatGPT" but aren't quite sure what they entail, you're in the right place.

1.1 What Exactly is Artificial Intelligence?

At its core, Artificial Intelligence is a broad field of computer science that gives machines the ability to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This can range from simple actions like recognizing speech to complex ones like making strategic decisions. Think of it as teaching a computer to think, learn, and problem-solve.

1.2 Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs)

A Large Language Model (often abbreviated as LLM) is a specific type of Artificial Intelligence program designed to understand, generate, and process human language. These models are trained on vast amounts of text data from the internet, allowing them to perform tasks like:

Answering questions
Summarizing documents
Writing creative content
Translating languages
Engaging in conversations

Imagine having a super-smart assistant who has read almost everything ever written and can use that knowledge to help you with your daily tasks. That's essentially what an LLM offers.

1.3 Introducing AirgapAI: Your Private, Local AI Assistant

AirgapAI, made by Iternal Technologies, is a cutting-edge software application that brings the power of Large Language Models directly to your Personal Computer (PC). Unlike many popular AI solutions that rely on cloud servers (meaning your data is sent over the internet to be processed elsewhere), AirgapAI operates 100% locally on your device.

This unique local Artificial Intelligence approach means:

No Cloud Required: Your data never leaves your Personal Computer.
Offline Access: You can use AirgapAI even without an internet connection.

Cloud-based AI services often come with recurring subscription fees, hidden token charges, and escalating costs as usage increases. AirgapAI offers a revolutionary pricing model: a one-time perpetual license per device. This means you buy it once and own it forever, significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. On average, AirgapAI is roughly one-tenth (or even one-fifteenth) the cost of alternatives like Microsoft CoPilot or ChatGPT Enterprise, delivering massive savings without compromising capability. It's truly a no subscription AI app.

1.4.3 Virtually Eliminating AI Hallucinations for Superior Accuracy

One of the biggest concerns with Artificial Intelligence is the potential for "hallucinations"—when an LLM generates inaccurate, nonsensical, or made-up information. This undermines trust. AirgapAI tackles this through its patented Blockify technology.

Blockify transforms your raw, unstructured data into a highly accurate, structured format optimized for Large Language Models. This process doesn't just reduce hallucinations; it can improve the accuracy of your LLM responses by an astonishing 7,800% (78 times). With AirgapAI, you get trusted answers for Artificial Intelligence technology, ensuring the information you receive is reliable and actionable.

3.4 Understanding Datasets and Blockify: The Key to Intelligent Personas

The true power of Entourage Mode comes from providing your AI personas with specialized knowledge. This is where datasets and Iternal's patented Blockify technology come into play.

3.4.1 What are Datasets?

In AirgapAI, a dataset is a collection of information—your company's documents, reports, knowledge bases, or any text-based data—that you want your Artificial Intelligence to learn from. When you interact with AirgapAI using a specific dataset, the AI focuses its responses based on that trusted information, vastly improving accuracy compared to general public internet data.

3.4.2 Blockify: Enhancing AI Accuracy with Your Data

Blockify is the ultimate data management solution for Large Language Models at scale. It's Iternal Technologies' patented technology that addresses the fundamental problem of AI hallucinations and general inaccuracy when an AI tries to answer questions from raw, messy enterprise data.

Here's how Blockify works and why it's crucial for Entourage Mode:

Ingestion: Blockify ingests vast amounts of your raw data (e.g., thousands of sales documents, Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, legal contracts, technical manuals).
Condensation into "Blocks": It then intelligently processes and condenses this information into concise, modular "blocks" of data. Each block includes:
- A Name: (Displayed in blue) to quickly identify the content's topic.
- A Critical Question: The key query a user might ask related to this content.
- A Trusted Answer: A distilled, accurate response, free from outdated or redundant information.
Metadata Tagging: Each block is tagged with rich metadata, including classification, permissions, and security levels. This is vital for zero-trust environments and for ensuring that specific personas in Entourage Mode only access authorized information.
Review Process: After ingestion, these blocks are sent for a quick human review. This step ensures that all content is current and approved, preventing outdated information (e.g., from 2019) from influencing AI responses.
Outcome: This meticulous process dramatically reduces the original data size (by as much as 97.5%, leaving only 2.5% of the original essential information) and, more importantly, improves the accuracy of Large Language Models by an incredible 7,800% (78 times).

For Entourage Mode, imagine having a "Marketing Specialist" persona linked to Blockified marketing collateral, and a "Legal Advisor" persona linked to Blockified legal documents. Each persona will leverage highly accurate, relevant, and secure data tailored to its role.

3.4.3 Adding Sample or Custom Datasets (Initial Setup)

Datasets power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which is the process of using your own data to make the AI smarter and more accurate.

Click Upload Dataset: Still on the onboarding page, click "Upload Dataset."
Navigate to Datasets Folder: Go to the /datasets/ folder from your extracted installer folder.
Select a Sample Dataset: Choose CIA_World_Factbook_US.jsonl.
Click Save.
- Tip: While you can upload Word, Portable Document Format (PDF), or Text (TXT) files directly, converting larger corpora to Blockify provides the ~78X accuracy gain essential for reliable persona responses. Local on-device Blockify capabilities will be available starting in Quarter 3 2025.

3.4.4 Finish Onboarding

Verify: Check that the Core Large Language Model, Embeddings Model, and at least one dataset are listed as added.
Click Continue. AirgapAI Chat will now boot with your selections, ready for use.

3.5 Initial Model Benchmarking

Upon the first launch of your selected Large Language Model, AirgapAI Chat will offer to benchmark your hardware:

Click Run Benchmark (recommended).
Duration: This process takes approximately 2 minutes and measures metrics like "tokens per second" and "inference speed," which indicate how fast your AI is.
Context-Window Expansion: You can skip the benchmark, but your AI's context size (how much information it can "remember" in a conversation) will remain at a conservative 2,000 tokens. After completing a benchmark, you can expand this. To change the token context window, visit "Settings > Chat" and drag the slider to your desired size (up to 32,000 tokens after benchmarking).

4. Setting Up Entourage Mode: A Detailed Workflow

Now that AirgapAI is installed and you understand the importance of datasets, let's configure your Artificial Intelligence personas and activate Entourage Mode. This is where you transform your AirgapAI into a dynamic, multi-expert brainstorming panel.

4.1 Accessing Advanced Settings and Personas

4.2 Creating Your First Persona

Think about the specific roles or types of expertise you frequently need for complex tasks. Let's start by creating a "Marketing Specialist" persona.

Click "Add New Persona" or a similar button. This will open a new configuration screen for your persona.
Define a Persona's Role:
- Persona Name: Enter a clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Marketing Specialist," "Legal Advisor," "Financial Strategist," "CIA Analyst"). This name will identify the persona in Entourage Mode.
- Description: Provide a brief description of the persona's expertise and role. This helps you remember its purpose and can even subtly influence how the AI responds (e.g., "An expert in product positioning, market trends, and content strategy for digital campaigns.").
- Persona Tone (Optional): Some advanced settings might allow you to select a tone (e.g., formal, casual, analytical). For now, keep it professional.
Attaching Datasets to a Persona (Role-based Segmentation): This is a critical step. By attaching specific, Blockified datasets to each persona, you ensure that the persona's responses are grounded in highly accurate, relevant information for its designated role. This is how AirgapAI achieves role-based segmentation, where different users or personas on the same device can access their own isolated and relevant experiences and datasets.
1. Locate "Attached Datasets" or "Corpus" Section: Within the persona configuration screen, find an option to link datasets.
2. Select Datasets: You will see a list of the datasets you have uploaded (including any Blockified ones). For your "Marketing Specialist," select datasets containing your company's marketing materials, product descriptions, brand guidelines, and market research.
  - Example: Select a dataset named "Iternal Technologies Enterprise Portfolio Overview" (if uploaded, as mentioned in the demo guide).
3. Confirm Selection: Ensure the chosen datasets are correctly associated with the persona.
Save Persona: Once you've named the persona and attached its datasets, click "Save" or "Create Persona."

4.3 Creating Multiple Personas for Your "Entourage"

Repeat the process above to build out your full Entourage Mode team. Consider the common challenges and decision-making scenarios in your work:

For Product Development:
- "Product Manager" (datasets: product roadmaps, user feedback)
- "Engineering Lead" (datasets: technical specifications, code documentation)
- "User Experience Designer" (datasets: usability studies, design principles)
For Business Strategy:
- "Financial Analyst" (datasets: market reports, company financials)
- "Legal Counsel" (datasets: compliance documents, contract templates)
- "Human Resources Director" (datasets: company policies, employee handbooks)
For Specialized Scenarios (e.g., Defense/Intelligence):
- "CIA Analyst" (datasets: intelligence reports, geopolitical analyses)
- "Military Tactician" (datasets: operational plans, combat strategies)

Each persona should be linked to datasets that make it an expert in its domain. This ensures that when you ask a question, each persona draws from its designated "single source of truth."

4.4 Activating Entourage Mode

With your personas created and their datasets linked, activating Entourage Mode is simple.

Return to the Main Chat Interface: Close the "Settings" or "Personas" screen to return to the main chat window.
Start a New Chat: Look for an option like "New Chat" or "Start a Conversation."

Tips for Prompting:

Be Specific: The more detail you provide in your prompt, the better and more targeted the responses will be.
Define the Goal: Clearly state what you hope to achieve from the multi-persona interaction (e.g., "identify risks," "brainstorm strategies," "summarize key points").
Specify Output Format (Optional): While AirgapAI is intelligent, you can sometimes request specific formats (e.g., "answer in bullet points," "provide a brief paragraph," "list pros and cons").

5.3 Orchestrating Responses from Your AI Personas

Once you submit your prompt, AirgapAI's Entourage Mode will get to work.

Simultaneous Processing: The application will send your query to each selected persona. Each Artificial Intelligence persona will then process the question, drawing exclusively from its linked, Blockified datasets and its defined role.
Persona Activity Indicator: You will typically see an "activity indicator" or a small animation next to each persona's name, signifying that it is "typing" or generating its response. This gives you a real-time sense of the multi-expert consultation.
Responses in Queue: As each persona completes its analysis, its distinct answer will appear in the chat window, clearly labeled with the persona's name. The responses often appear in quick succession, providing a rapid-fire expert panel.

You will now have a collection of responses, each representing a specialized viewpoint on your original question. This multi-perspective output is the core benefit of Entourage Mode.

5.4 Reconciling Viewpoints and Achieving Consensus: The Consensus Brief

Receiving multiple expert opinions is powerful, but the next step is to synthesize these into actionable insights or a consolidated strategy. AirgapAI helps you not just get answers but also achieve a higher level of understanding.

Methods for Response Arbitration:

Direct Comparison: Read each persona's response side-by-side. Look for:
- Agreement: Areas where multiple personas offer similar or reinforcing advice. These are your strong points or shared understandings.
- Disagreement: Points where personas offer conflicting information or different priorities. These are areas that require further investigation or careful consideration.
- Unique Insights: A unique perspective from one persona that wasn't covered by the others.
Follow-Up Questions: You can ask follow-up questions to specific personas or even to the entire Entourage Mode group to delve deeper into discrepancies or clarify points. For example: "Legal Advisor, can you elaborate on the regulatory implications mentioned by the Financial Strategist?"
Synthesize Manually: Copy the relevant parts of each response into a separate document and manually construct a summary.

Consensus Brief Template (Conceptual):

To help structure your synthesis, consider a simple "Consensus Brief" template. You can ask AirgapAI to help you draft this by providing the persona outputs as context.
