Windows x64 preview · 563 MB download · about 717 MB extracted. Includes the small AI model and CPU runtime. No account or API key required. An Android research preview is available below. An iPhone version is not available.
Preview scopeLocal AI can give incorrect answers. This preview has been tested on a Windows 11 laptop; clean-device compatibility, physical phone testing and broad teaching quality remain unvalidated. It is not a replacement for a teacher or an approved assessment system.
Android research preview
Try local CPU answers, selected app-context import and a saved note on Android 9 or later with an ARM64 device. The model is included; no account, API key or internet permission is required. Allow roughly 2 GB free storage for setup. Physical A57 testing is pending.
Native inference and factual lookup tests passed in an emulator with Wi-Fi and mobile data disabled. This APK uses a development signing identity; a future release may require note export and reinstallation. Windows PDF, Office, news, practice and chat-history features are not included. Battery use, thermals and physical-phone performance remain unvalidated.
Useful support, close at hand.
Handle factual lookups with evidence
Recognized person lookups request clarification or use dated source notes and exact selected passages. Unsupported biographies are withheld. Older unsupported generated identity answers show a warning. This does not retrain model weights or guarantee every factual answer.
Learn from your own material
Import text and text-based PDFs, search locally, inspect source passages and build source-based study guides. Free-form AI explanations remain experimental.
See supported maths concepts
Explore locally drawn Riemann sums and triangle area. Supported checked practice includes hints and explanations. Arbitrary diagrams and general word-problem interpretation are not implemented.
Use tools on your device
Calculate arithmetic, save notes and export Word-compatible RTF or Excel-compatible CSV. Opening files in installed applications starts from your button click.
Refresh when you choose
Strict offline is the default. Optional internet access downloads dated public headlines and checks signed release information. Refreshing a news cache does not retrain the model or make every fact current.
One engine. Selected context from your apps.
BOYD can import a reviewed Anukul or Ekalavya context file and use the selected lesson or task locally. Its Anukul profile supports planning your own course work; its Ekalavya profile supports study and formative practice.
In Anukul’s lesson tutor and Ekalavya’s chapter-summary result, review and export the selected material, or explicitly open BOYD 0.7’s local review window on your computer. Start BOYD first. Import still requires your approval. Hosted accounts, all app screens and course submissions continue to need their own services.
Start on Windows
- Download the ZIP and extract it outside OneDrive or another synced folder. Allow roughly 3 GB free disk space for download, setup and data.
- Open Launch.vbs, or run
Start-Engine.ps1 using PowerShell. The browser opens the engine on your own computer at 127.0.0.1:19384. - Use Install.ps1 if you want a per-user installation and desktop shortcut. It refuses to overwrite an existing folder.
- Open Engine & settings to load the included model for free-form answers. Checked guides and supported visual tools do not need a loaded model.
- Run Stop-Engine.ps1 when finished. Closing the browser alone leaves the local engine running.
The launcher and application are not Windows code-signed. Windows or your organisation may block scripts; follow your organisation’s security policy. The signed release manifest is distinct from Windows executable signing.
Your data and your updates
Records stay in the local installation. BOYD does not upload prompts, documents or memories during public update checks. Its database and exported backups are not encrypted by the application. Windows, browsers, Office and synced folders have independent network and storage behavior.
BOYD 0.7 can download a signed release, check its exact size and SHA-256, then install it into a new version folder and copy your records with offline defaults. Stop the old engine before starting the new copy. Earlier versions can export records and restore them in a fresh installation. Keep original documents and external backups separately.
