It happened that after my last week’s article about Local AI Assistant I discussed AI opportunities with a friend. Christmas time is a good time for friends and family, and he brought up a question about using ChatGPT and the security of his data.
We all know about ChatGPT. OpenAI also provides some APIs that allow you to integrate chat functionality into your applications, for example as a chat-bot. But my friend saw two problems:
- Training Costs: To be useful chat-bot should operate with business data (for example operation hours, prices, etc.), which means he need to train it. Everyone knows that training large language models (LLM or AI) costs a lot of money.
- Data Security: He was willing to use his proprietary data for his own chat-bot but wasn’t comfortable with OpenAI, or any other company incorporating that know-how into their large language models. AI providers typically need more data to train their models, and he doesn’t want his data ending up in someone else’s product.
At that moment, I realized that despite AI’s popularity, people, who don’t work with AI technologies often not have enough information about how they can use it. That’s why, after answering his questions, I decided to publish my answers here.

As ChatGPT is very popular now, I decided to challenge myself this weekend by creating my own assistant on my personal computer - just for fun and to see what’s possible with limited resources. Well, it’s Sunday evening now, and it works! 🎉 There’s still plenty of work ahead to improve it and make it truly helpful, but I’m excited about the progress so far.
For some testing (and a bit of Christmas fun):
