Waystone, for preparedness retailers and distributors.

An offline preparedness assistant for laptops: a local AI model and a curated reference library, set up once and usable without a connection. It's in development. This overview explains the concept, the planned offer, where things stand, and what we'd like to learn from you.

Concept preview A household asks what to prioritize after the heating stops. The answer lists steps in order, and page 12 of a sample document is open beside it. Interface, answer and document are illustrative, not output from a working model. Select a page number to open its source.

The concept

Waystone puts a local AI model and a carefully chosen survival library on the customer's own laptop. Ask a practical question in plain words, get a plan in order, and open the page each step came from.

Set up once, online. After that, it's designed to work without any connection.
On the laptop. The assistant, the library and the search all live on the customer's computer.
Answers point to the page. A source makes an answer checkable, not infallible.
Readable without the AI. Documents open directly, and key checklists can be printed in advance.

Why it could fit a preparedness range

People who buy kits, radios, lights and power stations are preparing for the moments Waystone is designed for. Waystone covers the knowledge part: what to do, in what order, with the source one step away. And because a laptop needs charging, it sits naturally next to power banks and portable power.

Formats we'd like to explore with partners. Nothing is fixed; these are options to discuss:

A referral link or code
A download code in your kits
Resale
Libraries for your country and language

The planned offer

Consumer price: $100, one-time, planned. For the software and library.
Subscription: None planned.
Delivery: Planned as a download, installed once while online.
On sale: No. No pre-orders, deposits or payments are taken.
Partner terms: Open for discussion. Nothing is fixed.

Planned next: a prototype on one Mac configuration (Apple silicon, 16 GB of memory), tested with realistic household questions, including questions the library can't answer. Waystone is a working name.

What we'll always say plainly

It still needs power. Offline means no internet, not no electricity.
No live information. No alerts, weather, road closures or news while offline. A battery radio stays essential.
Not infallible. Language models make mistakes; that's why every answer is designed to point to its source.
A complement. It supports supplies, printed plans, radio, official warnings and professional help. It doesn't replace them.

What we'd like from you

A conversation, not an order. Would you review a tested version, or try a small pilot? Tell us what your customers ask about, which formats work in your channel, and which countries and languages matter to you. Nothing to buy and nothing to commit to.

Already had an email from us? Simply reply to it; that reaches us directly.
