The Swarm is four products that solve different jobs: Talavine brings your personal and business data together for smarter answers and useful work, Talavine CRM makes team relationship data answerable, Vibes creates small custom apps, and SwarmSpan links trusted Macs and PCs. They share proven foundations but each remains useful on its own.

How is this different from using ChatGPT or Claude directly?

Talavine gives your chosen data a lasting home that can work with different supported AI models. CRM, Vibes, and SwarmSpan add separate tools for teams, custom apps, and devices. Each connection has its own permissions.

Do I have to pay for an expensive frontier model?

No. Talavine and Vibes support local models for private or routine work, with cloud models as an opt-in escalation. The CRM also uses cost-aware routing and can use an admin-approved team compute pool. Availability depends on the product and the connection you configure.

Do the products work together today?

Yes. Shipping now: ask one question and get an answer cited across your work email and your CRM; see the CRM's daily agenda on Talavine's Today dashboard; build Vibes dashboards over live CRM data; use an approved reachable local model for eligible CRM AI work; and let the assistant move files and clipboard across machines through SwarmSpan.

Where does the data live when products connect?

It does not silently merge. Talavine keeps communication data in its local profile; CRM data stays in its tenant; Vibes keeps its own app data; and SwarmSpan transfers only what you explicitly hand off between paired devices. Connections use scoped permissions and can be disconnected.

The connection story

Useful separately. Better through explicit bridges.

Ask across a connected work inbox and CRM, publish a Vibes dashboard to the CRM, or hand a file and a job to a paired computer. Nothing is shared until you opt in, and nothing needs wiring up on day one. If you can use an email client and a chatbot, you're qualified.

Why local-first

A consistent approach to cost, choice, and trust.

Cost without the lock-in

Talavine and Vibes can keep routine work on local models and reserve cloud models for the jobs that merit them. The CRM extends that cost discipline with an admin-approved team compute pool.

Your data has a boundary

Communication data stays in a Talavine local profile, team records stay in the CRM tenant, and Vibes keeps its own app data. We never train models on any of it, and connections are scoped and optional.

The right model for the job

Where AI is configured, Swarm products favor a cost-aware, inspectable route: use a local model for private or routine work, and choose a cloud model only when its extra capability is worth it.
