Bionic is a separate app for code and document work using downloaded local models, another linked device or optional hosted models.
- Availability
- Available. Public downloadable app. Plan benefits, model access and previews differ; an available app does not make every model available.
- How to use it
- Desktop app. Desktop installers; confirm the current operating-system and architecture choice on the download page.
- Processing and data
- On-device option; Self-hosted option; Vendor cloud; Local and cloud options. Local models infer on-device; LM Link uses another device. Cloud models process requests remotely under publisher-stated retention terms; web search is also a network operation.
- Costs and limits
- Free local features; paid cloud plans and credits
- Outputs
- Proposed code/file edits and generated documents, decks or spreadsheets, with in-app previews and checkpoints; verify file fidelity and changes.
Model tool/image support and hardware limit tasks. Cloud usage requires an account, billing and credits. Review proposed file changes; no execution or privacy guarantee was independently tested.
