## Reviews

### "A tool for AI" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *19 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Quality of the support&#10;- Quality of the guidance&#10;- Being able to chose which AI model's to use&#10;- Being able to self-host OLLAMA
> 
> **Cons**: not sure yet - complex product with many features.  &#10;Why don't you ask me again in 6 months.
> 
> As I understand it not in itself an AI but an extremely useful piece of glue.&#10;&#10;I am exploring AI (like many others?) &#10;an early discovery was even if you pahy a monthly subscription most services want you to buy service credits to embed AI API's into Apps&#10;&#10;Having a flexible general-purpose tool using credits like Elephas, is more cost effective than multiple subs

### "King of AI clients" — 5.0/5

> **Ben** | *10 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Makes RAG and local knowledge base creation very easy\!
> 
> **Cons**: A few UI quirks but overall it's a solid experience.
> 
> I've tried pretty much every local AI client on my Mac, but Elephas may be the best. Really centres on building knowledge bases (aka 'Brains') which is a common use case I have. Also provides all the other tools you'd expect (chat, text replacement, personas/tones etc).

### "Useful and powerfull" — 5.0/5

> **Júlia** | *3 December 2025* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really liked that Elephas has a feature that it is always close to you when you are working, close to your cursor ready to be activated, but it does not bother or gets in the way of the work.
> 
> **Cons**: I think it was a bit complex at first, it takes a bit getting used to, to be ablet to use it to its full potential.
> 
> My experience was pretty good, specially with the user experience, im just taking a bit to get used to the multiple features it has.

### "The best computer program I've ever bought for my business." — 5.0/5

> **John** | *1 October 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I purchased a lifetime subscription around 2 years ago. Elephas has significantly enhanced my customer relationships by refining my tone and professionalism in written communication. The ability to swiftly outline key points and tap the Elephas button has greatly improved my writing. Elephas transforms my rants and rambles into well-crafted, friendly or professional responses, saving me a lot of time and making me seem like a nice person. (Seriously) \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; always offers prompt, kind, and supportive assistance whenever I encounter issues that I've created. He might be using Elephas too ;-) The program updates have kept pace with advancements in AI.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't think of anything, really. Elephas are truly fascinating creatures with so many incredible qualities that it's hard to find any negatives. Their intelligence, emotional complexity, and unique characteristics make them truly special beings. ....That was fun :-)
> 
> This is the best computer program I have ever purchased for my business. The value it provides is exceptional and continues to improve over time.

### "Greatness of course" — 5.0/5

> **Chase** | *30 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: git lfs track, commit, push. No new CLI beyond a few subcommands.&#10;Fast clones: initial pulls right on time
> 
> **Cons**: storage and bandwidth limits can surprise you; budget for growth.&#10;Pointer pitfalls: forgetting to run git lfs install
> 
> Perfect overall Cold clone on a repo with many LFS assets is fast, but the first “git lfs pull” for big branches still takes time.
