# AI with Local Models

Lookeen AI summarizes emails and documents, reviews them and drafts replies – with language models running in your own infrastructure. Your content never leaves your network.

## What Lookeen AI does

The AI works with the documents you select.

### Summarize

Reduce long email threads and documents to their key points.

### Find issues

Check documents for inconsistencies and possible errors before they go out.

### Draft replies

Prepare replies to emails – also combined with a summary or review.

## Local instead of cloud

You decide which model runs and where your data goes.

### Models in your infrastructure

Lookeen AI works with locally hosted language models. Requests go from Lookeen Server straight to your model – not to an outside provider, and not to Lookeen.

### Only the selected document

Every AI action applies to exactly the document or email a user selects in the search results. There are no autonomous processes running in the background.

### No training on your data

Lookeen doesn't train models and never uses customer data to improve them.

### Cloud models optional

If you prefer, you can connect a cloud model with your own API key instead. Your administrator decides.

## Under your administrators' control

Your IT decides whether and how AI is used, not each individual user.

-   **Off by default:** Lookeen AI is disabled in Lookeen Server until an administrator turns it on – and can be turned off again for everyone at any time.
-   **Define the actions:** Administrators decide which AI actions are available and can add, edit, reorder or remove them.
-   **Protect the templates:** A configurable minimum role governs who may edit the underlying prompts.
-   **A draft, not a decision:** AI output is a draft to be reviewed before it's used.
