Local AI vertical tools and agents
A studio that ships vertical products, like a home health QA reviewer, an offline field-report copilot, or a pre-send reviewer for professional services, built on small open-weight models running locally on a laptop or edge device.
The idea, in plain language
A solo studio that ships vertical products on small open-weight models (Gemma 4, Llama, Mistral) running locally on laptops or edge devices via Ollama or LM Studio, charging per seat or per review. Greg maps the model/warehouse/runner stack, defines parameters/tokens/context window/quantization/GGUF, and proposes three example products: a Home Health QA Reviewer, an Offline Field Report Copilot, and a Pre-Send Reviewer for Professional Services. Startup cost is essentially a laptop with a GPU plus open-weight downloads, and the wedge is selling into regulated fields where cloud AI is restricted.
Where the sources agree
- The stack is model + warehouse (Hugging Face) + runner (Ollama/LM Studio) + a wrapped workflow
- Local AI unlocks verticals where cloud models are blocked (PHI, field work, attorney-client)
- A thin vertical wrapper beats a general chatbot
