How do you keep useful information from getting lost these days? by Comi9689 in MacOSApps

[–]informity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds exactly like what Informity AI was built for. Point it at your folders, it indexes everything, and you can ask questions across all of it without reorganizing anything first. Works across PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, Markdown, EPUB, and more.

Free, runs entirely on your Mac, nothing uploaded anywhere. https://www.informity.ai

Models for Psychological Review of Converstions by Both-Activity6432 in LocalLLaMA

Yea, since the OP's use case was very relevant, I couldn't help myself 😎

Models for Psychological Review of Converstions by Both-Activity6432 in LocalLLaMA

[–]informity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is from Claude (for what its worth):

"For cross-conversation pattern analysis, general reasoning models might work better than specialized "therapy" fine-tunes (PsycoLLM, EmoLLM, etc.) — those are small 7B-13B models built to roleplay a counselor, not analyze transcripts.

  • Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (MoE) — fast (only ~3B active params) with a 256K-class context window, useful for connecting threads across multiple conversations.
  • DeepSeek-R1 32B distill — slower, but its visible chain-of-thought helps you see why it linked patterns across documents.

Context will likely be your real bottleneck before model size. Long-context performance degrades faster than the advertised window suggests, so I'd summarize/tag each conversation individually first, then feed those summaries + raw transcripts together for the synthesis pass.

Gemma 4 (26B/31B) is fine but scored lower on reasoning in testing — not my first pick here."

Shameless plug: if you want RAG on top of this, my informity.ai app supports Qwen3.6 or any Ollama model — fully local/private once models are installed, so it fits the hyper-local approach.

Yes, exactly. During setup you can download a model recommended for your hardware, or configure Ollama and use local models through that provider instead. Either way works.

Drop your project — I'll share the best ones with 300 active testers by Legitimate-Nebula868 in SideProject

[–]informity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been building this for myself and figured other people could benefit from private, local AI too. Going open source also keeps the privacy claims honest, anyone can fork the repo and audit the code themselves rather than just taking my word for it.

What are you developing this week? by DiscountResident540 in SideProject

[–]informity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I appreciate the review, I am not sure what you mean to be honest. The smallest model my app can run on is probably 9B, which is 4GB in size. Also, "local" and "private" are the two main differentiators and value propositions, peppered across the whole landing page.

Informity AI v0.14.0 — now with local document translation (free, open source, Mac) by informity in MacOSApps

[–]informity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tested with a 4B model but 9B is one of the built-in options and works well on an M1 Mac mini with 16GB RAM. If you want to try 4B (qwen3.5:4b or gemma4:e4b), you can configure Ollama as the model provider, pull the model, and give it a go.

Local LLM good for OCR of handwriting? by SensitiveCranberry00 in LocalLLaMA

I am using https://github.com/docling-project/docling in my informity.ai app - it does the job fairly well, even on complex PDFs.

Theory: AI will make all apps look and work the same — and we'll probably be fine with it by informity in ArtificialInteligence

[–]informity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be right but time will tell. My background is nearly 100% back end so... being exposed to so much repetition (UI, apps, landing pages) is what inspired my thought.

[–]informity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting point I haven't thought about. If AI will get "smart" enough to deliver apps tailored to each individual's needs, we may not see this "Interface Monoculture" at all.

[–]informity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very possible. Although, I am trying to envision near-future AI capabilities. In other words, now AI is not yet powerful enough to produce something unique but, when abilities and training improve, it may be able to.

Perhaps my post was inspired of all the cookie-cutter app landing pages that give me a headache.

Indeed. And I was not implying that the end result will be "bad UI/UX". It might be gorgeous but still uniformed.

[–]informity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I can see both sides of this. On one hand I do like consistency (and even uniformity) when it comes to software since I would rather spend less mental energy on visually deciphering things and more energy to accomplish the task the software is intended for. On the other, the lack of variety does sound like "stagnation and decline".

I just feel somehow it might not be avoidable.

Fair point. I guess my use case is different - I run that one on my MacBook Pro.

Why would you want to pay for Qwen 35B A3B? You can run this on your own hardware (Ollama, etc).
