  • Looking forward to seeing your work - it’s always good to have competitors, and gpt4all is also very crashy. If you have a lead in stability, I’d definitely use yours over theirs.

    Some other areas you could probably look into if you want to differentiate are:

    • Getting Started experience - recommend some high quality models and update the list as time goes on. Maybe include a good default one as part of the package.

    • Convenience - include a way to do what the modern chat interfaces do where asking it to do something other than text will call a different AI model built for that purpose and return the result (image generation, etc)

    • Voice conversations - Can we actually talk to the dang thing?

    • Assistant module - piggybacking off of the last one, can we invoke it with a wake-word or a button press and have it “always available” (similar to HomeAssistant with a Whisper plugin, but on-device).

    Anyway, I wish you well in your endeavor and will keep an eye out.

    EDIT: looks like the conversational bits are on your roadmap, and you do have some basic suggestions on startup.

    As for voice, the OpenWhisper module might fit your project’s theme a bit closer than elevenlabs.











  • Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.

    I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).
