 "summary": "Download the small local model in Settings so the guide answers lab questions without sending text off the computer.",
 "who": "A learner on a laptop who wants help while studying but needs the AI to run without internet and keep their text private.",
 "problem": "Cloud AI helpers send questions to outside services. The learner wants a helper that stays on their machine.",
 "outcome": "The Ask the guide button works in any lab using the local model, fully offline.",
 "steps": [
  "Install and open the desktop app as described in the desktop setup steps.",
  "Open Settings in the desktop app.",
  "Click the one-click download under Local model, which fetches Qwen3.5 2B (about 1.3 GB) and the llama.cpp engine.",
  "Wait until both files are checked and ready.",
  "Open any lab and click \"Ask the guide\" to ask a question about what you are looking at."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Discover AI desktop app, open Settings, set up the Local model, then open lab 1 and click Ask the guide. Expected output: a reply from the local guide about lab 1. Verify that the reply appears without an API key being entered.",

  "A modern web browser for the hosted version, with no install needed",
