# Local AI Package

The Local AI Package is Cole's own curated bundle of self-hosted AI services that installs an entire private stack in a few steps, so you never have to wire the pieces together yourself. He frames it as the assembly of a whole ecosystem: "the local AI package is the solution to bring all of that together curated for you to install in just a few steps." Originally seeded by the n8n team, Cole extended it into the collection he leans on daily: "I've extended to include all of these services so we've got n8n Supabase Ollama open web UI Flowise Qdrant and then recently I added CRX NG."

What makes it matter is that it turns the abstract goal of [Local & Self-Hosted AI](../../concepts/local-ai.md) into one command. Each component he covers separately elsewhere ships pre-integrated here: [Ollama](./ollama.md) for the models, [Open Web UI](./open-web-ui.md) for the chat frontend, [n8n](./n8n.md) for agent workflows, [Supabase](./supabase.md) for the database and vector store, [Flowise](./flowise.md) for no-code agents, and Qdrant plus SearXNG for retrieval and search. As Cole puts it, "everything I'm covering in this video can be done with the services included in the local AI package. So, honestly, this is probably the most convenient way to get everything up and running from scratch." That is the payoff: a fully private, free, self-hosted platform for models, [RAG](../../concepts/rag.md), [memory systems](../../concepts/memory-systems.md), and [agent deployment](../../concepts/agent-deployment.md), with none of the data leaving your infrastructure.

The package is also load-bearing for Cole's broader work. He calls it the foundation of his local-AI practice ("This local AI package is the core of everything that I do with local AI") and reuses it as scaffolding elsewhere: an early Archon design "would use the local AI package ... to spin up an isolated environment with the database." It is the practical embodiment of running your own AI cloud rather than renting one, and the same privacy-and-control argument that runs through his self-hosting videos.

## Realizes

- [Local & Self-Hosted AI](../../concepts/local-ai.md) - running open-weight models on your own hardware or cloud for privacy, cost control, and independence from API providers; the package is its one-command realization.
- [Provider Independence](../../concepts/provider-independence.md) - architecting agents so the underlying model, framework, or client can be swapped without a rewrite, avoiding lock-in.
- [Agent Deployment](../../concepts/agent-deployment.md) - getting agents to production, containerizing, networking, reverse-proxying, and choosing a provider-agnostic, cost-predictable host.
- [Memory Systems](../../concepts/memory-systems.md) - giving agents durable short- and long-term memory so conversations, user context, and facts persist across sessions and users.
- [Agent Security](../../concepts/agent-security.md) - sandboxing agents, scoping permissions, and keeping secrets out of the model to limit blast radius.
- [Model Selection](../../concepts/model-selection.md) - choosing the right LLM per task by trading off quality, speed, and cost.

## Works with

- [n8n Self-Hosted AI Starter Kit](./n8n-self-hosted-ai-starter-kit.md) - n8n's official Docker Compose package bundling Ollama, Qdrant, Postgres, and n8n so a fully local AI stack (LLMs, vector DB, SQL DB, orchestration) starts with one command.
- [Ollama](./ollama.md) - local LLM runtime that serves the models in the stack.
- [Open Web UI](./open-web-ui.md) - free, open-source, self-hostable ChatGPT-style chat interface used as the frontend.
- [n8n](./n8n.md) - a no-code AI automation platform for building agents and workflows that integrate with 500+ applications.
- [Supabase](./supabase.md) - a single platform providing Postgres for scalable chat memory plus the pgvector store for RAG embeddings.
- [Flowise](./flowise.md) - low-code LLM app / agent builder included and exposed in the stack.
- [Archon](./archon.md) - Cole's free, open-source AI command center that reuses the package to spin up isolated environments.
