One of acquaintances asked me a simple question - how do we connect? I didn't want to provide my mobile number and zoom free has limitations. Then thought why do we need these for a simple 1:1.

So created a meeting tool using webrtc - this doesn't need any account setup or password as it is P2P. Backend doesn't store anything. Web recording stays local. Can share the screen. Works on mobile and web. Can schedule and add it to your calendar as well.

Once I got that working, I was previously doing a spike on a dictate/note taking tool - in the same spirit - no accounts/no password - everything local using web gpu and small LLM. To my surprise small LLM works well for this usecase.

Now that I got that working, I then integrated the AI note taking tool into the meeting tool with an iframe and now I have a simple, no frills meeting tool that doesn't feel too basic. ____________

After that my son wanted to create personalized bedtime stories - yes he wants to be the hero. But gemini, claude, chatgpt all don't create really long form bed time stories - the voice option stops after 1 min or so for you to keep saying continue and even then the length of the story is not long.And I didn't want the personal info going into any cloud memory.

So with the same concept of no accounts/no passwords, all local using webgpu - created story maker. Had to work for sometime to get the chunking strategy work well with small LLM but now it creates long story and then used supertonic 3 for narration. For all small LLMs I am using ONNX.

Along the way also created simple tools - web reader, document reader. Also one more fun chat agent - AI spirits - it is just the local LLM with personality - a mini/micro Characters.ai if you will. All these tools are at voice.cogumi.com

One more - actually two - image generation from prompt and art from doodle tools, with local LLM. But this one is a bit slow.

Try it and let me know your comments here or directly at hello@cogumi.com

I am planning to just create such pay it forward tools. Think, like me a lot of people want to cut on subscriptions. Many get stymied managing the local env to get the local LLM going. So here is my attempt at it to solve.
