Questions, answered.
The short version of everything people ask before trying Apprentice.
How is Apprentice different from ChatGPT or Claude?
A chatbot resets every conversation. Apprentice remembers your corrections and re-applies them, and it operates your Mac with real tools instead of only chatting — so it gets sharper every session instead of starting from zero.
Do I need my own Claude subscription?
Yes. Apprentice runs on macOS 14+ and uses Claude as its reasoning core, so you bring either a Claude Pro or Max subscription or an Anthropic API key.
Is Apprentice private?
Your memory, rules, and files stay on your Mac. Reasoning runs through your own Claude account — the same path as using Claude directly — and you can inspect or delete anything it has remembered.
What can Apprentice do today?
By voice, on your Mac: build and format spreadsheets, write and edit documents, make slide decks, cut video, transcribe calls, research the web, and drive your macOS apps. Windows support and 200+ additional models are in development.
When can I get it?
Apprentice is in private invites while we work through the waitlist. It runs on macOS today — the Windows version is being built. Join the waitlist and we'll send your invite as capacity opens.
Something else? Join the waitlist and reply to the welcome email — a human reads it.
