# Does the Run Tuhi clean-up need Apple Intelligence to work?

No. The clean-up itself runs on any Mac Storage Studio supports. Apple Intelligence only changes how the summary at the end is worded: when it's available, the summary reads conversationally; when it isn't, you get a plain line-by-line summary with the same facts.

Tuhi's fuller conversational answers to typed questions are where Apple Intelligence matters most — see the [Tuhi assistant FAQ](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/).
