Anyone willing to collaborate with me on a local-first AI-based research assistant?

NOTE TO MODS: This project involves llama.cpp and downloading GGUF models from HuggingFace, so i think it can be posted here. And, i know this does look like a recruitment post, and i have given some justification, by providing details. And, i hope that you guys would read and understand. Thank You

TL;DR - NotebookLM, but Locally with your OWN AI Model

  • My Working Timezone: UTC + 05:30 (India :india:)

  • Stack: Python 3.12, llama.cpp (it could be potentially expanded further)

  • Experience Level: All are welcome

  • Goal: To build a local alternative to proprietary third-party AI-based research assistants

  • Monetization: NO, this is a FOSS project.

Hi HF Community, I’m Venkatram, a sophomore.

The idea is to turn documents into researchable assets that contain as much as information as the original information does, but it’s more reusable.

Well, quite frankly, this is still under a WORK IN PROGRESS, so i’m still figuring on how it can be properly used, and I got to be honest here, i definitely need some help to build this, so if you wish, you are welcome!
