Can you build a private, local AI tool in a weekend without being a dev?

Yes. I just did it with Ollama + Streamlit + Llama 3.1.

The shift in capability from 2023 to 2026 is staggering. What used to require a team and a hackathon now runs on a standard laptop.

@Wiobyrne You mentioned the cloud-based command line VPS as being beyond most people. That's probably true. But what if you write a one-click installer to set one up? Then for the cost of a VPS ($5/month?) you can have your own personal AI, even if you don't have a desktop computer at home.

@Downes agreed. I've been researching how to do this in a VPS. Perhaps I'll head that route as well.

I was exploring that as I was learning about openclaw/clawdbot. Thanks for the reminder.
