Make it your
workspace.

Before you start

What you’ll need.

Windows

Windows 10, 64-bit or newer. The desktop beta targets Windows.

Memory

8 GB RAM minimum. The manual recommends 16 GB, particularly for local voice.

Storage

5 GB free, plus space for the model files you choose to download.

Audio and network

A microphone for voice. Internet for initial setup, activation, periodic licence checks and connected features.

Installation

Install and activate.

1. Get the Windows installer and your licence key from your beta organizer.
2. Open the installer, launch VERIDIC and let first-run setup finish preparing its runtime.
3. Activate your licence on this PC, then choose a mode. You can change your model and connections later in the app.

Local mode

Keep inference on the PC.

Configure a local model using the offline setup. A source installation includes install_offline.bat to install Ollama and download a language model and the speech models. Allow time and disk space for the first download.

Start with typed chat to check the model, then select local voice to use the microphone. Licence activation and periodic verification still require network access. Online tools have their own connection requirements.

Connected mode

Connect online voice.

Standard online voice uses a Gemini API key and a LiveKit project. In setup or Connections, enter your Gemini key, LiveKit server URL, API key and API secret. Choose online mode, open Voice call and start a session.

Connect other services only as you need them. Provider quotas and account permissions apply to web research, communications and other connected tools.

Android companion

Pair your phone.

Phone Link requires a Max or Ultra licence and a PC with VERIDIC running. Obtain the companion APK from your beta organizer.

1. Open Connections on the PC, enable Phone Link and choose Pair a phone.
2. Scan the QR code in the Android app or paste the pairing text. If both devices show a six-digit number, compare it before allowing the link.
3. Use the local link on the same network. Away from home, phone chat and confirmations need LiveKit on both ends. SIM call control requires the local link, with Bluetooth for call audio.

Settings

Review access.

Open Privacy & Data to inspect collection choices and local data controls. Review service grants in Settings and revoke access when you no longer need a connection. Use the Doctor page to diagnose setup or service issues.
