# How is Tuhi different from Siri or ChatGPT?

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.

The other differences:

- **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?"

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](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/).
