What is the idea?

Self-hosted, MIT-licensed platform for running AI agents/chatbots entirely on your own hardware, no cloud dependency.

Who would use it, and what do they get?

The ordinary-person opportunity it signals: a fully-local household assistant that reads your files and never uploads.

What is missing today?

The gap is the self-hosting itself: the capability (fully-local agents) now exists with no product wrapped around it for ordinary people.

What makes this one different?

Not to build as-is — the signal: the 'private data × local × new window' axis (R0a) just got a turnkey-ish base layer; a plug-in home box or one-click private assistant becomes nearer-term feasible.

What could kill it?

Local-first consumer AI keeps losing to the convenience of cloud; the audience that cares about privacy overlaps heavily with the audience that can already self-host.

Who pays, and for what?

— (capability signal)

What is the main risk?

— (not a build candidate)

How much work is it?

not a build — logged as a capability signal

Where does the evidence come from?
