ForeThought
A fully offline AI office suite with documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF, Markdown and mail, with an AI assistant that runs entirely on your own device. Built in Qatar.
ForeThought is an office suite designed and built in Doha, Qatar by Louis Innovations. It bundles a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation editor, a PDF tool, a markdown editor and an AI assisted mail client in one launcher.
Every app, including its AI assistant, runs locally on your device. There is no cloud upload, no subscription to a foreign platform and no internet connection required.
ForeThought runs on Windows and Android (macOS is in preparation) and supports Arabic and English throughout. Licences are billed once a year in Qatari Riyal, starting at QAR 99 per year for one device.
Features
Documents
A word processor for letters, contracts and reports, with an assistant that can summarise, polish tone or continue writing.
Spreadsheets
Formulas, formatting and multi sheet workbooks for budgets, trackers and financial models.
Presentations
A slide editor for client and board decks, ready to present or export.
PDF tool and Markdown
Open, review, annotate and export PDFs, and write notes and documentation in a distraction free markdown editor.
AI assisted mail
Read, draft and organise email with an assistant that helps you reply faster, without your inbox leaving your device.
On-device AI assistant
Each app has its own assistant, and it runs on your machine, so it works with no connection and has no per query cloud fees.
Who it is for
- Law firms, medical practices and accountancies whose documents are the sensitive part of the business
- Government entities and companies required to keep data under national control
- Teams that work on flights, at client sites or where network access is restricted
- Bilingual organisations that write in both Arabic and English
For Qatar and the GCC
ForeThought is built for Qatar and the GCC. Documents and the AI assistant are processed on your own machine, so there is nothing to configure for data residency: nothing leaves Qatar, or your desk. Every app supports Arabic with right to left layout, and licences are priced in Qatari Riyal. Louis Innovations notes that local processing removes third party processors under Qatar's PDPPL (Law No. 13 of 2016), but is not compliance on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Does ForeThought need an internet connection?
No. ForeThought and its AI assistant run entirely on your own device. You can write, edit and use every app with no connection at all, and document content is not sent anywhere for processing.
What does ForeThought cost?
Personal is QAR 99 per year for one device. Business is QAR 399 per year for up to 10 seats. Teams above 10 seats receive a custom quote. Billing is annual, with a reminder thirty days before your term ends.
Where can I download ForeThought?
ForeThought is on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. The download is free and every feature works for 60 days; after that it becomes read-only until you buy a licence. On Android phones and tablets it is on Google Play: free to install for opening, reading and sharing documents, with a subscription for creating and editing that starts with a 60-day free trial and then costs QAR 99 a year. It is not available in the United States or the European Union.
Which operating systems are supported?
ForeThought is available for Windows in the Microsoft Store and for Android on Google Play; macOS is in preparation. Windows licences are paid by card through SADAD at office.louis-innovations.com, and Android subscriptions through Google Play. Billing is annual and there is no monthly plan.
Can I work in Arabic and English?
Yes. Every app, including the AI assistant, supports both languages, with full right to left layout for Arabic. A document can mix Arabic and English, and the interface itself is available in both.
Is my data backed up anywhere?
No, by design. Files live on your disk under your own backup regime. Nothing is copied to a service Louis Innovations operates, so it cannot restore a file you lose.
