Windows 10 / Windows 11
64-bit Windows PCs are the target environment for the current prototype and early-access build.
Your private AI workstation on a USB. Built for local AI chat, offline-capable workflows, web search when connected, document analysis, local memory, knowledge-base tools, and professional deliverables.
Most AI tools live entirely in the cloud. Aldin Mini Go is different. It includes a local language model, so core AI chat can run offline from your portable workspace. When internet is available, it can also search the web, show sources, open links, and save useful results into your local knowledge base.
Aldin Mini Go is not just another cloud chatbot and not just a storage device. It is a portable private AI workspace with local chat, document analysis, local memory, a personal knowledge base, and web search when connected.

The current Aldin Mini Go prototype is close to the early-access direction: a portable local AI workspace that runs from a USB device on compatible Windows PCs. Performance depends on the host computer and the local models/workflows selected.
64-bit Windows PCs are the target environment for the current prototype and early-access build.
8 GB may support lighter workflows, but 16 GB or more is recommended for smoother local AI use.
A recent 64-bit processor with 4+ cores is recommended. Faster CPUs improve local response times.
A USB 3.0 or faster port is recommended for better startup, file access, and overall responsiveness.
A dedicated GPU or NPU is not required for the current direction, but compatible acceleration may improve future workflows.
Core local workflows are designed around local files and memory. Internet is used for web search, updates, and connected features.
Aldin Mini Go is a patent-pending, pre-launch product. The current prototype includes local AI chat, document analysis, local memory, knowledge-base tools, and web search when connected. Final compatibility, storage configuration, included models, packaging, support terms, and delivery timing will be confirmed before final purchase.
