# 🦌 Mrigashira AI — Making Local AI Accessible to Everyone > Source: > Published: 2026-08-15 10:59:21+00:00 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**. The plugin architecture opens possibilities for: **Local RAG • Code Assistants • Agent Workflows • Office Automation • Custom AI Tools** 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. 🇮🇳 **Released on India's 80th Independence Day.** 🌐 **Try it:** [https://mrigashira.co.in](https://mrigashira.co.in) 🎥 **Presentation:** [https://youtu.be/mQywg3Daey8](https://youtu.be/mQywg3Daey8) 📖 **Installation Guide:** [https://youtu.be/oClOTeMPpko](https://youtu.be/oClOTeMPpko) I'd love to hear what developers think and what you'd like to build with local AI. **#AI #LocalAI #OfflineAI #LLM #GenerativeAI #Privacy #DevTools #AIForAll #MadeInIndia**
