Ask it about your Mac's space or how a feature works, and it answers on your Mac — written by Apple Intelligence where available — then offers a button to the right screen. Tuhi is Storage Studio's assistant. You type a question into the Ask box on the Home screen — "why is my disk full?", "what did I move to my drive?", "how do I back up my photos?" — and Tuhi answers in plain English, then offers one button that takes you to the right place. Tuhi runs on your Mac. Where Apple Intelligence is available and turned on, it writes Tuhi's answers using Apple's on-device model; everywhere else, Tuhi answers from Storage Studio's built-in replies. ```mermaid %% caption: What Tuhi knows and what it can do for you mindmap root((Tuhi)) Knows how Storage Studio works Built-in answers The help library Knows your Mac right now Free space on your Mac and drive Memory and what is running Your Mac's model and macOS version Knows your own history Folders and apps you moved Backups and their health Connected accounts and devices What is in the Recycle Vault Can act for you Take you to the right screen Download a link you give it Open a support ticket form ``` *Mind map — What Tuhi knows and what it can do for you. Outline:* - Tuhi - Knows how Storage Studio works - Built-in answers - The help library - Knows your Mac right now - Free space on your Mac and drive - Memory and what is running - Your Mac's model and macOS version - Knows your own history - Folders and apps you moved - Backups and their health - Connected accounts and devices - What is in the Recycle Vault - Can act for you - Take you to the right screen - Download a link you give it - Open a support ticket form ## What Tuhi knows - **How Storage Studio works.** A set of curated answers ships inside the app, along with Storage Studio's help library, which refreshes at most once a day. - **Your Mac, right now.** Free space on your Mac and your external drive, whether automatic actions are paused, your rules and schedule, memory and processor load, and your Mac's name, model and macOS version. - **Your own history.** What you've moved or offloaded and why, your backups and when they last ran, your connected cloud accounts and paired devices, recent background activity, and what's in the [Recycle Vault](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/recycle-vault). - **Where a file is.** Ask "where is my Projects folder?" and Tuhi looks it up on your Mac and tells you the exact location, including whether Storage Studio moved it to your drive. Tuhi keeps totals for clear-ups, not lists of every file removed, and it says so rather than making a list up. ## What Tuhi can do - **Take you to the right screen.** Most answers come with one button, such as **Manage Apps**, **Find Duplicates** or **Open Recycle Vault**, plus the exact steps to get there. - **Download a link.** Paste a web link and ask Tuhi to download it, and it starts the download into your Downloads folder, with a live progress card in the conversation. - **Get you to a person.** Ask to contact support, and Tuhi opens a support ticket form for you to fill in and send. Ask about "my ticket" and it tells you where your tickets stand. See [Getting help](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/getting-help). Tuhi suggests and guides; it doesn't move or delete anything on its own from a question. Anything it points you to runs with that feature's usual checks and confirmations. ## Tuhi is also the Run Tuhi button The big **Run Tuhi** button on the Home screen runs [Smart Care](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/smart-care), the one-tap routine that clears caches, reclaims old local backups and keeps cloud files online-only. After a run, Tuhi sums up what it freed. ## Where to go next - [Asking Tuhi a question](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/asking-tuhi) — where the Ask box is and what to ask. - [Where Tuhi's answers come from](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/where-tuhis-answers-come-from) — the badges on each answer. - [Tuhi runs on your Mac](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi-is-private) — what Tuhi reads and what it never sends. - [Tuhi on a Mac without Apple Intelligence](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi-without-apple-intelligence). - [Letting another AI assistant read your storage](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/ai-access) — if you'd rather ask a different assistant. - **What does it mean when a Tuhi answer says "From" and my partner's name?** It means the answer came from the shop, IT company or reseller you got Storage Studio through. Partners can give Tuhi their own questions and answers, which we review before they reach any Mac, and the reply may offer a button to open their website or message them. Tuhi's own answers always come… (https://storagestudio.us/faq) See also: [The Home screen](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/the-home-screen) · [Interface settings](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/interface-settings) · [Privacy: what stays on your Mac](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/privacy-overview) ## What links here - [Asking Tuhi a question](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/asking-tuhi) - [Getting help: Contact Support and My Support](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/getting-help) - [Interface settings](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/interface-settings) - [Is Storage Studio slowing my Mac down?](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/is-storage-studio-slowing-my-mac) - [Letting another AI assistant read your storage](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/ai-access) - [Privacy: what stays on your Mac](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/privacy-overview) - [Smart Care](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/smart-care) - [The Home screen](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/the-home-screen) - [The Recycle Vault](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/recycle-vault) - [Tuhi on a Mac without Apple Intelligence](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi-without-apple-intelligence) - [Tuhi on our website](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi-on-our-website) - [Tuhi runs on your Mac](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/tuhi-is-private) - [What Storage Studio does](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/what-storage-studio-does) - [What Tuhi can do for you](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/what-tuhi-can-do-for-you) - [Where Tuhi's answers come from](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/where-tuhis-answers-come-from) - [Where to start: pick your goal](https://storagestudio.us/wiki/where-to-start)
