AI is becoming part of everyday life, but many people still cannot afford AI subscriptions or continuous API usage.

I started building **Mrigashira AI** with a simple idea:

AI should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford a subscription.

Mrigashira AI is a desktop AI engine designed to run **LLMs locally on your own hardware**, while also giving you the option to connect to cloud AI providers when needed.

With local models, you can:

It also includes a **Local Model Manager** for downloading and managing local models.

One of the main challenges I focused on was running AI on ordinary laptops.

Mrigashira AI can dynamically adjust the **context window based on available RAM/VRAM**, helping make local inference more practical on systems with limited resources.

When local AI isn't enough, you can connect your own API keys to providers such as:

** #OpenAI • #OpenRouter • #Ollama Cloud • #Grok **

This gives you the flexibility to choose the right model for the task.

Mrigashira AI also includes:

The Office plugin supports **PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, ODS, ODP and CSV**.

MultiLingual Audio Download Support: English Us, UK, Hindi, Marathi.

The plugin architecture opens possibilities for:

**Local RAG • Code Assistants • Agent Workflows • Office Automation **

My long-term goal is to build a foundation for a **local AI ecosystem** that is more accessible, private, and less dependent on centralized infrastructure.

I'd love to hear what developers think and what you'd like to build with local AI.
