+1 on these questions. Can I run a local llm that will, for example - visit specified URLs and collect tabular data into csv format? - ingest a series of documents on a topic and answer questions about it - ingest all my PDF/MD/Word docs and answer questions about them?

Some of the tools offer a path to doing tool use (fetching URLs and doing things with them) or RAG (searching your documents). I think Oobabooga https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui offers the latter through plugins.

Our tool, https://github.com/transformerlab/transformerlab-app also supports the latter (document search) using local llms.
