How is Tuhi different from Siri or ChatGPT?

\n

Short answer: Tuhi only covers your Mac's storage and Storage Studio, reads your real figures instead of guessing, runs on your Mac with Apple Intelligence, and can open the right tool for you. Its conversational answers need macOS 26.

\n

Tuhi is narrow on purpose. General assistants know a little about everything; Tuhi knows your Mac's storage and every Storage Studio feature, and reads your real figures — free space, biggest space-users, what's been moved — from the same numbers the Home screen shows, so it doesn't guess them.

\n

The other differences:

\n
  • On your Mac — it runs on-device with Apple Intelligence; your questions and files don't leave your Mac.
  • It can act — when there's something to do, it shows the button and the steps.
  • It knows how your Mac is doing — memory, load and temperature, for "why is my Mac slow or hot?"
\n

A general assistant can't see your disk unless you connect it. Tuhi's conversational answers need macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on. See Tuhi, your storage assistant.
