Kai — Local AI Assistant
A local-first AI assistant that runs on hardware I own, assembled from small replaceable parts rather than one monolith.
Kai runs on my own machines. Models, data and runtime state stay local rather than in someone else's cloud, and the system is built as a set of independent modules so any one of them can be replaced without rewriting the rest.
Still early. The foundation is in place — configuration, logging, an error hierarchy, packaging and tests — with module specifications written before implementation. There is no assistant functionality yet.
