# AskQP > AskQP is a private AI companion that lives on your own computer and phone: a Mac app for Apple silicon and an iPhone app. Give each project a Space, drop in your files, and ask. QP reads, drafts, and prepares. You approve what goes out, and every answer and significant action is sealed into a tamper-evident record (Capsules). The product is built by Quantum Pipes Technologies, LLC. ## What is AskQP? AskQP is a private AI companion for founders and independent professionals. An autonomous system keeps working between your instructions; the safe kind stops at the door, so whatever goes out, goes out with your yes. On the Mac, QP reads your files (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel), answers with citations to the exact passage, turns your day into decisions on the Today screen, and gives every task four ways out: Complete, Delegate, Defer, Decline. On the iPhone, it captures notes, scans, and voice as text on the device, reads any note aloud in a natural voice made on the phone, and answers questions about your notes privately with sources. ## Core concepts - **Spaces**: One private Space per project, client, or venture, each with its own files, rules, and model policy (Local only, Local preferred, or Frontier allowed with your own provider key). File search always stays on the Mac. Canonical page: https://www.askqp.com/platform/spaces - **Conductor**: Turns a goal into a plan, runs it inside your Space, and stops at your approval before anything goes out. Canonical page: https://www.askqp.com/platform/conductor - **Capsules**: The tamper-evident record. Every AI answer and significant action is sealed into a SHA3-256 hash-chained entry signed with Ed25519 and ML-DSA-65 (post-quantum). Verify the chain yourself in Settings. Canonical page: https://www.askqp.com/platform/capsules - **Commands**: Focused pieces of work started with a slash (/draft, /review, /analyze, /summarize, /research, and more), each sealed into the record. Canonical catalog: https://www.askqp.com/platform/commands - **Security**: Files stay on your Mac, per-Space model policy enforced on every request, Space keys protected with X25519 plus ML-KEM-768, and a Kill Switch built into every install that ranks above every agent, command, and policy.
