A local AI desktop app that could fit an M-series Mac mini
ContextuAI Solo is an for running AI work on your own computer without an online account. It is built for tasks, not just chat. Small groups of AI agents, called crews, can run one after another or at the same time to handle work such as summarizing documents and drafting text.
Users can point it at their own notes or document folders, then ask it to summarize and draft from those files. It also supports RAG, so answers can use and include citations. Telegram, Discord, and Reddit watchers can prepare reply drafts, but nothing is sent until the user approves it.
After the model is downloaded, the app can run fully offline and does not use telemetry. The stack uses llama.cpp, automatically tries GPU support through Metal, CUDA, or Vulkan, and falls back to CPU if needed. It is described as fast on an M-series Mac, with a one-click hub for 41 GGUF models from 0.5B to 70B, including Qwen 3.5, DeepSeek R1, Gemma, and Phi-4.
