Nomad AI: Intelligent Assistance Anywhere—Even Offline

Nomad AI is a private, on-device AI assistant powered by Meta Llama 3.2. Every conversation stays on your device — no servers, no data collection, no internet required after the initial model download. When you're on your home network, Nomad AI automatically connects to your local Ollama server to leverage your desktop's more powerful models.
