BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Built for real PCs. Hardware still matters.
Because the AI runs locally, model speed and optional media features depend on your system. Try the free Steam demo if you're unsure.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Things worth knowing.
Does FriedrichAI require internet?
No. The main assistant works locally and offline after installation. Optional web features require connectivity and may require your own provider configuration.
Can I try FriedrichAI before buying?
Yes. A free demo is available from the Steam store page. It is a compatibility snapshot rather than the continuously updated full application.
Does it work on any computer?
No. FriedrichAI runs models locally, so memory, GPU capability, model size, and storage affect whether a particular setup will run well. Compare your PC with the system requirements first.
Are image, video and audio generation included?
Supported media capabilities are offered through optional Steam packs. They have separate hardware and compatibility needs, and not every workflow works on every GPU.
Can I use my own model?
Yes. FriedrichAI supports switching among compatible local GGUF models, subject to hardware and model compatibility.
