ISONQ - Work Smarter

About

Modern AI suffers from a fundamental paradox: it has infinite knowledge but zero personal context. To make it useful, we're told to surrender our most private data to the cloud, hoping it will be handled responsibly. My experience is in environments where data privacy isn't a marketing slogan; it's a legal and ethical absolute. This has shaped my core belief: the next breakthrough in AI will not be a bigger model, but a new, private-by-design architecture. .

What's your biggest friction point with local AI tools?

Building in the local-first AI space. Curious what's actually frustrating people setup, performance, privacy trade-offs, integrations? What would make you switch from cloud-based tools?
