Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WorkInPrivate.
WorkInPrivate is an AI-powered content generation tool that runs 100% locally on your computer using Ollama. It generates SEO-optimized blog articles and specialized content across 7 professional modules — SEO Writer, Tech Docs, Academic, Finance, Healthcare, Legal, and Small Business. No data ever leaves your machine.
Ollama is a free, open-source AI model runtime that lets you run large language models locally on your computer. WorkInPrivate uses Ollama as its AI engine — this is what makes it possible to generate content without sending anything to the cloud. WorkInPrivate automatically installs Ollama for you on first launch if it's not already on your system, so there's nothing extra to set up.
WorkInPrivate supports any model available through Ollama, including Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, and many more. The app includes a smart model recommender that suggests the best model for your hardware. Larger models (13B+ parameters) produce higher quality output, while smaller models (3B–7B) are faster on modest hardware. Models are downloaded once and cached locally.
Minimum requirements:
- RAM: 8 GB minimum, 16 GB+ recommended
- GPU: Optional but recommended for faster generation
- Storage: 5 GB+ for the app and AI models
- OS: Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or Linux
A dedicated GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, or Apple Silicon) significantly speeds up content generation but is not required — WorkInPrivate runs on CPU as well.
- Download WorkInPrivate for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
- Extract the archive to a folder
- Run the application — on first launch, Ollama is installed automatically if needed, and a setup wizard guides you through model selection
No separate installations or admin rights needed. Just extract and run.
Yes. Your WorkInPrivate license permits both personal and commercial use. Content you generate with the tool is yours to use however you see fit — publish it, sell it, or use it for client work. The license is per-user and non-transferable.
WorkInPrivate supports four output formats: Markdown (.md), plain text (.txt), HTML (.html), and PDF (.pdf). All generated content is saved to an output folder, and you can choose your preferred format in the settings.
Yes, 100%. WorkInPrivate runs entirely on your local machine. Your prompts, generated content, and all data stay on your computer. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no phone-home functionality. The AI models themselves also run locally via Ollama — nothing is sent to external servers.
When a new version of WorkInPrivate is available, you can download the latest release from your account. Simply replace your existing files with the updated version — your settings and output files are preserved. Updates are free for the version you purchased.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If WorkInPrivate doesn't meet your expectations, contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund — no questions asked.
Only for the initial setup — WorkInPrivate automatically installs Ollama and downloads your first AI model, which requires an internet connection. After that, it works completely offline. The optional web search feature (for sourcing research and citations) does require an internet connection, but it's entirely optional and can be disabled.
