TL;DR: local-ai.run is a free, open-source, self-hosted AI platform. Chat with your files, generate audio, bring your own models — all offline, all on your hardware, zero data leaving your network. One command to install.

The problem that started it all
Every time I needed to analyze a document with AI, I had to choose between convenience and privacy. Paste it into ChatGPT? Fast, but that document is now on someone else's server. Run a local model through a terminal? Private, but clunky — no UI, no file uploads, no real workflow.
I kept looking for a self-hosted platform that handled the full stack: file ingestion, vector embeddings, model routing, and a clean interface. Something I could spin up with Docker and actually hand to a non-technical teammate.
