HilbertRaum open-sources a fully local AI chat and document analysis app for private use
Vladowski · reddit · 2026-07-22
The founders of HilbertRaum open-sourced a local AI app for private chat and document analysis that runs entirely on the user’s computer.
- It keeps conversations and documents on-device, with encrypted workspace storage.
- The app provides cited document Q&A, plus built-in skills for bank statements, invoices, contracts, meeting notes, anonymization, OCR, transcription, image analysis, and translation.
- A first-run hardware scan recommends a model the machine can actually handle, and the team says an ordinary 8 GB laptop is enough to start.
- Their business plan is to keep the core GPL-licensed and sell preconfigured drives for people who want zero setup.
