Biwak is pronounced “BEE-vak”, like the English word bivouac.

The office work Biwak takes off your hands

Four everyday office tasks, shown in the tool itself: a file goes in, the task is a single sentence, and at the end a finished file is waiting.

Turn this into a spreadsheet for me, one row per transaction. Amounts with plus or minus signs.

Thought it through, two steps 2 steps 2,140 tokens 0:12

Four columns: booking date, transaction, amount, S/H.

S/H isn’t a sign. S stands for Soll (debit), so it becomes negative; H (Haben, credit) stays positive.

Row 2 runs over two lines — the payer sits below the description. Those belong together.

The reference numbers are buried in the description. They get a column of their own.

Finally I’ll add up the amounts and check them against the balance. Otherwise I won’t notice if a row is missing.

Seven transactions. I’ve added up the amounts: 14.902,55 − 2.978,60 = 11.923,95 — exactly the balance shown on the statement.

“It matters to us that small and mid-sized businesses can work with AI without worrying that their knowledge will become training material. And that they can decide their digital future for themselves. That is why we build Biwak.”

If you are bound by professional secrecy, you have just one question: where does the task text go? Biwak sends model context through its managed access.

Biwak model access The task text and the context it needs are sent via Biwak to the model provider. Biwak manages this access for your account.

Confidential content Check the actual processing and the agreements required before you start. The local app alone does not replace this check.

What counts is the actual processing. A local app on its own does not meet any professional secrecy requirements.

What else people ask.

Answers on tasks, rollout and day-to-day operation, each one readable on its own. If one is missing, write to us — and it will appear here.

How much usage does a plan include?

Biwak measures usage in credits: Base Camp includes 1,500 credits a month, Rope Team 9,000 credits — six times as much. How far that goes depends on the length of your documents and the performance level you choose; a short question costs a fraction of a credit, a long legal brief more. You can see your balance in your account at any time. At the start of each billing period, your allowance is full again.

What is Biwak and which tasks does the AI agent take on?

Biwak (also Biwak AI, biwak.ai) is an AI agent from Munich for small and mid-sized businesses. It processes documents and analyses spreadsheets in the working folder you choose. Examples include transaction data from a bank statement, checking an order against a price list, and amending contract templates. You describe the task and check the result. How an AI agent differs from a chatbot and fixed automation.

How do we introduce Biwak in our company?

Start with one recurring task and a copy of suitable sample files. Decide in advance on the result, the checking steps and who is responsible. Check the data flows and any agreements required before you use confidential data. Then compare processing time and errors with your previous workflow. The guide to introducing AI walks you through the pilot.

What leaves my computer?

Your question, the conversation context needed and the file contents used are sent via Biwak to the model provider. For quotas and billing, Biwak also processes account and usage data.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Model tasks run through your signed-in Biwak account and an active plan.

Where are the conversations stored?

In ~/.biwak on your computer, one append-only file per conversation. You can read, back up and delete them like any other file.

What happens if the agent breaks something?

Every change is preceded by a checkpoint. One click restores the earlier state, and the restore itself can be undone. The checkpoint covers the working folder you give Biwak; it is not a substitute for a backup.

Are there model costs on top of the prices?

No. Model usage is included in the subscription: every plan comes with an allowance of credits that is refilled with each billing cycle. You don’t need a separate bill from a model provider for this access.

Why doesn’t it say how many requests are included?

Because one request can be a single line or half a day’s work. That’s why Biwak counts in credits: a short question costs a fraction of one, a long legal brief more. You can see your balance in your account at any time.

How is model access set up?

Sign in with your Biwak account. Biwak provides the model access and manages it for your account automatically.

Does Biwak work offline?

New model tasks need an internet connection to Biwak. Locally stored files and checkpoints stay on your device.

Which systems are supported?

macOS 14 and later on Macs with Apple Silicon or Intel, and Windows 10 (1809) and later (64-bit). The current files and installation notes are on Download Biwak. Linux on request.

Can law firms and professional practices use Biwak?

That depends on how you use it and the agreements this requires. Model content is sent via Biwak to the model provider in use. Assess data protection and professional secrecy against these actual data flows.

Is Biwak certified?

No. We do not currently commit to ISO 27001 certification or a BSI C5 attestation (the German federal cloud security standard).

How do I get rid of everything again?

You can delete local files on your device. For account and billing data, the separate deletion routes and retention periods set out in the privacy information apply.
