Developer builds local AI for personal documents, prioritizing privacy and accuracy

A developer built a local AI system to query personal documents and photos, avoiding cloud-based services to protect privacy. The system, running on a Windows 11 machine with an RTX 5080, faced challenges with LLM accuracy for structured data, leading to the implementation of deterministic tools and strict routing rules. This approach complements existing features in Paperless 3.0.3 by offering a unified interface for documents, photos, and videos, with guaranteed accuracy for structured queries. AI

IMPACT Enables private, accurate querying of personal data using local AI, highlighting the need for deterministic tools alongside LLMs.

RANK_REASON The item describes the implementation and lessons learned from building a personal AI tool for document and photo querying.
