Latest Founder/Maker Reviews
HilbertRaum
Vladimir Tosovic, HilbertraumAI β We want to make local AI as easy as possible β without having to deal with runtimes, quantization, or model files. In the best case, you just plug in a USB stick and get started.
September 25, 2026
Atlarix
Amariah Abishai, Founder, Norah Labs β Built Atlarix to be an AI coding agent trustworthy with a real codebase: one that plans, edits, runs the project's own tests, and never changes a file until the diff is approved β fully local when paired with Ollama or LM Studio.
September 25, 2026
Locally Uncensored
David, developer, LU Labs β My own local AI setup was a terminal running Ollama and a row of ComfyUI tabs, and every task meant switching between them. I wanted one installer that puts chat, a coding agent, image, video, and LoRA training on one screen, on my own PC, with nothing leaving it.
September 22, 2026
Cherry Studio
Seth, Cherry Studio Team β All they should need to say is "Help me get this done," and the Agent will automatically decide whether to query the knowledge base, trigger OCR, generate an image, process a file, or write a note.
September 20, 2026
Pocket AI
Faisal, developer β Every good local-model app on iPhone asked for an account, a subscription, or a server round trip first. Pocket AI runs entirely on-device via llama.cpp with Metal acceleration β no account, no server.
