webAI released its Mac app publicly on Nov 5. Users create Personas with chosen roles, knowledge and tools; several can work together. webAI says connectors include Slack, DocuSign and Apple apps, with downloaded models running on the Mac without per-token charges.

It brings local-model collaboration into a desktop app. The catch: Apple silicon and macOS 26+ are required, and features vary by RAM. Web search, external tools, cloud models and remote Personas can send data off-device. Pricing and real-world performance remain unverified.
