AI agent for Consultants on Mac

AI agent for Consultants on Mac, find answers faster
Consulting runs on evidence. You remember insights, not filenames. Traditional Mac search stops at folders or vague file matches. Fenn lets you search inside content and open at the exact place you need — the right slide, the right page, the right timestamp. Everything happens locally on your Mac, 100 percent private.
The consultant’s pain, in your words
“I need to pull every case where a client received a fine above 100,000 dollars, and I don’t remember which reports mention it.”
“A partner asked for examples where churn dropped after a pricing change, but the data is spread across multiple PDFs and slides.”
“Before tomorrow’s meeting, I need the slide that shows ROI assumptions for energy clients, but I can’t remember which version of the deck had it.”
“The client referenced a comment from last quarter’s call. I have the recording, but I can’t spend an hour listening to find that one sentence.”
Why typical Mac tools fail
Spotlight and Finder only look at filenames or metadata, not the actual content inside.
You cannot open directly to the right page, slide, or timestamp.
Confidential data is at risk if you rely on cloud AI tools that upload your client material to external servers.
Privacy first for client work
Consultants handle sensitive reports, regulatory analyses, and client discussions that must stay confidential. Most AI tools send your files to external servers for processing. That creates compliance and trust problems with every engagement.
Fenn runs entirely on your Mac. No uploads, no external models, no cloud processing. Indexing and search happen locally, secured by macOS and Apple Silicon. You get the power of AI without losing control of your data. Fenn is built for professionals who must keep client information private.
How Fenn solves it
Fenn is an AI powered file search engine for macOS that opens the exact moment inside your files. It indexes your documents, PDFs, images, audio, and video, including text inside screenshots. You can search in four modes plus an AI agent for deeper reasoning — all local, all private.
Keyword mode – fast and precise
Type the exact term you remember, for example “CAGR assumptions” or “ROI model.” Fenn finds occurrences across PDFs, Word docs, and slides, then opens directly at the right place.
Semantic mode – natural language that understands meaning
Ask in your own words, for example “slides that show churn by segment after price change.” Fenn understands meaning, not just wording, and jumps to the most relevant slide or page.
Hybrid mode – when you need both recall and precision
Combine keyword accuracy with semantic context. Search “fine over 100k and regulatory case.” Hybrid finds the section that fits both meaning and wording.
Exact mode – perfect for IDs or legal text
Use quotes when you need a literal match, such as “Case 2023-421” or “Clause 7.2.” Fenn opens at the precise line in long documents.
AI agent search – complex analysis, zero data risk
When your query requires reasoning across multiple files, use the AI agent. It works locally, analyzing documents and transcripts without ever sending content to the cloud.
Examples:
“Find the compliance reports that mention fines over 100,000 dollars and show the pages where root cause analysis is discussed.”
“From client calls in Q3, find where the CFO mentions pricing as a churn driver and open at the timestamp.”
The AI agent interprets your query, reviews indexed content, and links you directly to the most relevant pages or moments.
Works across every consulting content type
PDFs and documents: open at the exact page with highlighted context.
Slides: jump straight to the relevant slide in large decks.
Audio: search meeting recordings by meaning and open at the correct time.
Video: search transcripts and jump to the key section.
Images and screenshots: text inside images is indexed and searchable.
