Important notice on reasoning speed: Due to the launch of the search and knowledge management module being postponed to version 0.7.x, current 0.6.x versions are known to be slower since it is lacking its fact-checking support, so it takes more effort (and time) more to reach a conclusion and may sometimes inform that it can not reach a meaningful and complete answer without that.
Soon we will release our mobile versions at your favourite app store. Make sure to visit us back and check it out!
Beta Software Notice: LAI Runtime is in active development. Features may change, break, or be removed. Use at your own risk.

Linux Snap Install
Prerequisites
Ubuntu 18.04+ or any Linux distribution with snapd installed and ~2.5 GB disk space
Step 1: Install the Snap
From the downloaded file: sudo snap install lairuntime_0.6.0_amd64.snap --dangerous
Note: --dangerous is required for locally built snaps not signed by the Snap Store.
Step 2: Accept Terms of Service (Required)
The service will not start until you accept the Terms of Service:
- Interactive acceptance (recommended): sudo lairuntime.accept-terms
- Specify language (default: en): sudo lairuntime.accept-terms --language=XX (supported languages: ar, de, en, es, fr, hi, it, ja, nl, pt, tl, zh)
When viewing the Terms of Service, you'll be in a text pager. Use keyboard's arrows or page up and page down, to navigate the text.
Once done reading, exit read mode by pressing letter q on the keyboard.
You will be then prompted to confirm 4 acceptances (if you agree, answer yes to each, the software will not work otherwise).
Regulatory Note: Some jurisdictions require terms in the local language (e.g., France requires French for AI products). Set the appropriate language for compliance.
