# What do I need for Tuhi's full conversational answers?

Tuhi's full conversational answers need **macOS 26** on a Mac that supports Apple Intelligence, with **Apple Intelligence turned on** in System Settings and its on-device model finished downloading. Apple Intelligence also needs to be available in your region and language.

In Storage Studio, **Settings → Interface → Smart suggestions** shows whether Apple Intelligence is in use and why not if it isn't, with a button to open System Settings when it's simply switched off.

When any of those is missing, Tuhi keeps working with built-in replies. See [Tuhi without Apple Intelligence](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/does-tuhi-work-without-apple-intelligence).
