Local AI Scout helps everyday people and enthusiasts understand the apps, models and tools that bring AI closer to home.
Useful before impressive
We care about what a tool lets you do, what your computer needs, where your information goes and whether the result is worth the effort. We explain the vocabulary without assuming you want to become a developer.
Built in the open
This is a new independent publication. Our launch guides draw on primary documentation. We label these explainers clearly and do not present them as hands-on reviews. As testing expands, reviews will include the device, software versions, tasks and limits behind the verdict.
How this publication can earn money
We plan to support the site through clearly disclosed affiliate links, newsletter sponsorships and useful paid resources. Commercial relationships will be identified beside the relevant content. See our disclosure policy.
Our promise
