STACKELIER helps professionals choose private, local and self-hosted AI configurations based on task, privacy requirements and hardware. It evaluates complete stacks—not products in isolation—combining tools, models, runtimes, deployment profiles, hardware fit and supporting evidence. Hard constraints can exclude incompatible options, while Privacy Score and evidence confidence remain separate and explainable.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built STACKELIER because “run it locally” and “self-host it” are often treated as if they automatically mean private. They don’t.
A professional AI setup is a configuration: the application can be local while inference or data still leaves the machine. Hardware also changes what is realistically usable, and a model name alone does not tell you whether a setup is a good fit.
STACKELIER starts from four inputs: your profession, task, privacy requirement and hardware.
It then evaluates verified reference configurations across tools, models, runtimes, deployment choices, hardware fit and supporting evidence.
A few principles were important while building it:
* hard privacy or hardware constraints can exclude a stack rather than merely lower its ranking;
* Privacy Score is configuration-aware;
* evidence confidence is separate from Privacy Score;
* self-hosted does not automatically equal private;
* organic rankings cannot be purchased.
The public Finder is free and does not require an account.
I’d particularly value feedback on one question: does STACKELIER make the trade-offs behind a private AI setup clearer than choosing tools one by one?
Thanks for taking a look.
