CaliLuke lets Mike run its AI in-house, no cloud account required

A new option to run the underlying AI models on your own machine instead of calling out to a paid cloud service.

infrastructuresecurity

CaliLuke has added support for Ollama - software that runs AI language models locally, on your own hardware, rather than sending requests to an outside provider. There's no account to set up and no API key to manage; the fork treats this local option as always available and even makes it the default for the main assistant, document titling, and table extraction.

The same work broadens what Mike will accept as a document. Alongside the usual PDF and Word files, it now reads plain text and Markdown directly, builds a quick outline from the headings, and displays the content inline instead of forcing it through a PDF viewer.

So what Worth a look for any firm that wants AI assistance without client material leaving its own machines - and for teams whose source documents aren't always neatly formatted PDFs.
