Inkling reads text, pictures and audio and writes text back, keeping about 520 pages in mind at once. Its maker lets you download it and run it yourself. It is built for thinking problems through, coding, working with the tools you connect to it, answering from your own documents and conversations in many languages. Inkling Small is the smaller, more efficient member of the family when that is enough.
