Question 1

Do you upload my files to the cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. Core processing stays on your machine, so your documents, audio, video, and images do not need to be uploaded.

Question 2

What hardware do I need?

Accepted Answer

PCMind runs on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). GPU acceleration helps when supported hardware is available, but CPU-only systems are supported too.

Question 3

How much disk space do AI models require?

Accepted Answer

Storage depends on which text, Whisper, and image models you install. Larger offline capability usually means more local model storage.

Question 4

What file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

PCMind supports 30 extensions across documents, audio, video, and images, including PDF, DOCX, MP3, MP4, PNG, SVG, and many more.

Question 5

Can I use PCMind offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once your models are installed, PCMind works offline for local processing.

Question 6

What AI models does PCMind use?

Accepted Answer

PCMind uses local text models for summaries and insights, Whisper for transcription, and local vision models for image analysis and optional video vision help.

Question 7

What are the beta limitations?

Accepted Answer

The beta includes the current core features, but free usage keeps insight generation limited. A paid license is planned to remove those limits once sales open.

Question 8

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email support@pcmind.app for setup help, bug reports, or licensing questions.
