AI tinkerers
Business model
Pro features
Effort
A few months

Many want to experiment with local AI models but get stuck with dependencies, hardware issues, and configuration. Tools like Janus help but aren't user-friendly.

A polished app that handles all setup - downloads models, optimizes them for your hardware, and provides a simple chat interface.

Power users would pay for premium features like model fine-tuning. Could offer curated model marketplace.

MVP: Wrapper around popular runners with model browser.

Risk: Fast-moving space with many competitors.
