I love this so much. I found it a few weeks ago and it has inspired me to build my own open-source, self-hosted AI chat website running on my own hardware. I can finally use AI on my GrapheneOS phone again! I'm still building it, but I have a working demo that runs Mistral and it's awesome! It's the coolest thing I've ever built.
One side is that I want to make money... but that's not very realistic. I could launch something modest on Nostr and accept zaps - but that will be after I build something cool for myself. So instead, I just want to build a useful tool that will help my productivity or add to my life. Also, my kids love using it for learning/school work which I highly encourage.
The goal is to get an old Dell Poweredge R720 or something, and run my own models. Right now I'm just pulling APIs for paid services as I build the UI and Langchain workflows.

Wow, that's interesting story, congratz and good luck!
Would you like to join Alby Community Call one day and present it, ask for feedback - maybe there is somehow we could help?
Kepp building!
