The Window for Local-First AI (Before the Defaults Ship)

Built this over Christmas. LocalGhost is a vision, not a product — there's a repo and this website, nothing else yet.

Thesis: hardware commoditization is nearly done, but Apple/Google will entrench "local" AI with cloud-mandatory features. Once convenient defaults exist, alternatives become irrelevant for most users.

The piece covers extraction economics and why the cognitive layer (the questions you ask an AI) is the most intimate data surface yet.

Also buried some games in the homepage terminal if you're bored.

Looking for a reality check — am I way off?

Your thesis is likely correct on consolidation and cloud tie-in. Your pipeline model is also intriguing. I like the direction and would like to chat more about the registry or how the ghost gets interconnected.

nice, thanks, i'll keep updating from time to time. feel free to reach out on info@localghost.ai happy to have somebody to discuss with
