Scissor Office

AI writing help that runs on your device

Scissor Office has an optional AI panel that runs a language model on your own device, in your browser. The model is downloaded once; after that, what you write and what you ask stay on your device.

How to use the AI panel

  1. Open a document and choose AI in the side rail. Scissor Office checks what this device can run.
  2. Pick a model, Light or Standard, and press Download. The panel shows the download size and the memory each one needs.
  3. Select some text and choose an action, such as Rephrase, Shorten or Translate, or write your own request in Ask AI.
  4. Read the suggestion, marked “Written by AI — check it”, then choose Accept, Reject or Retry.

Your text stays on your device

The model runs on your device's graphics chip through the browser. When you download it, your browser gets it from this site once and stores it on your device, in a space the Scissor tools share, so the other Scissor tools do not download it again. Your documents and your requests are not sent anywhere.

What you need

A browser that can run AI models: Chrome or Edge, Safari 26 or later, or Firefox on Windows or an Apple Silicon Mac. The device also needs enough memory; the panel says whether a model runs well, may be slow or does not fit. Light is meant for short edits on phones and small laptops, Standard for rephrasing, translating and drafting on most computers.

Check the result

A small model on your device is helpful for wording, but it can be wrong. Every suggestion is shown in place before it changes your text, and it is labelled as written by AI.

Limits to know

  • The first download needs a connection and storage space.
  • Safari may delete downloaded models if you do not open Scissor Office for 7 days.
  • Delete model removes it from this device, and from every Scissor tool that shares it.
