Manzoni – Open source AI text editor that you can run on your laptop

[gems-platforms]

Hello everyone, I built an AI-powered local word processor called Manzoni using node-llama-cpp!

What is Manzoni

Manzoni is a private AI-powered local word processor. It combines the functionalities of traditional word processors with open source LLMs from Hugging Face to assist users in drafting, editing, and refining their content on their laptop. No data leaves the device. No API calls or GPUs are required. It's free and open source!

Why

I started working on Manzoni because the open-source community is doing a great job of offering powerful LLMs, but their efforts are limited by the lack of accessible end-user apps to use them. Non-tech people are mostly excluded from the discussion. To me this is an important and urgent issue to address to pursue safer alternatives.
