Good evening, Paul
Ask anything. Marquis picks the cheapest engine that can do the job.
PC models (Llama, Qwen) run free on your home PC via a private tunnel, so it must be on. Auto uses Gemini in the cloud, with Grok as a paid backup.

What's new
Build: everyday help, writing, listings and code. Cheapest, and the default.
Research: searches the web first and lists its sources under the reply. A little more per question (about 0.2–2p).
Hard: a premium model for tricky problems. It costs the most, so save it for when Build isn't good enough. Web: off/on lets Hard search too.
Auto (recommended) uses cheap Gemini in the cloud, with Grok as a paid backup. Auto is the only engine that can read photos.
Grok and Grok premium always use Grok.
PC models (Llama, Qwen, Mistral) run free on your home PC. The PC must be on and awake, otherwise you'll see "Your PC is offline".
Tap 📎 next to the message box. Add up to 3 photos, or text files (.txt .md .csv .json). Type a question, or just send.
Photos are shrunk on your phone and read by Auto with that one message. They're not saved on the server or in your chat history; only the file name is kept. PC models can't see photos.
Every night at 2am your PC researches one topic for free and writes a short note. The note appears in ☰ menu → Research updates by itself (the PC must be on).
Tap Ask Marquis on a note to turn it into next steps.
Get a notification when a new note lands. Settings → Research alerts → Turn on alerts → Allow. Then tap Send test alert to check.
Android (Chrome): works in Chrome or the installed app. If you tapped Block: Chrome ⋮ → Settings → Site settings → Notifications → allow marquis-engine.pages.dev.
The alert only says "new note". The note itself stays behind your access code.
Bots are specialists (for example a listing writer). Pick one from the M chip under the message box.
Playbooks are short methods added automatically when your question matches them. There's no extra charge.
Teach Marquis saves facts and preferences on this phone. Only the few that matter go with each question.
🎤 lets you speak instead of typing. 🔈 at the top reads replies aloud for free, using your phone's own voice.
Chats are stored on this phone only. API keys stay on the server. Your monthly cost estimate is in Settings.
"Access code didn't work": tap Send and type your code again.
