North Carolina, USA Chapter" - LibreTools AI Assistant Plugin
#LibreTools AI Assistant Plugin Documentation The primary goal of LibreTools is to seamlessly integrate a program called LMStudio into LibreOffice, allowing users to run large language models (LLMs) locally on their machines. LMStudio will utilise the local computer's GPU to efficiently process and serve these models. To ensure smooth operation and easy access, LibreTools will feature a user-friendly GUI that connects directly to the LLM's IP address. This connection can be established either through the local intranet or using a service like ngrok for remote access.
By leveraging local hardware and providing a straightforward interface, LibreTools aims to make advanced AI capabilities accessible to all users, without the need for expensive cloud services or complex setup procedures. This approach not only enhances the functionality of LibreOffice but also ensures that users maintain control over their data and resources, aligning with the principles of privacy and open-source development.
