Start your Evolve AI edition

Connect the drive, open the OfflineAI folder, run your edition’s START file, and wait for Ready. Your browser opens the app on this computer.

Steps

  1. Connect the Evolve AI drive (or the Evolve Everyday stick) to a USB port on your Windows computer.
  2. Open it in File Explorer, then open the OfflineAI folder. An edition you added later has its own folder, such as OfflineAI-VideoStudio.
  3. Double-click your edition’s START file (listed below). Windows may ask you to confirm because the launcher is unsigned. Here is what that prompt means.
  4. A launcher window opens and loads the AI. The first start after plugging in can take a few minutes.
  5. When it says Ready, your browser opens the app at an address on this computer only.

  • Evolve Everyday: START-EVERYDAY.bat, http://127.0.0.1:8080/

After the first start, desktop shortcuts make this one click.

Keep the launcher windows open

The launcher and AI server windows are the AI itself. Leave them open while you work; closing them stops the app. When you finish, follow Stop the AI and eject the drive safely.
