I am back, everyone
After pondering the question a bit i decided that i would accept using already available tools to achieve my objective, the requirement that the end product should run completely locally still applies, however, so I ask what should I be using? I would like to do as much work as possible with my own tools on my own to increase my knowledge, but it's ok if that is unreasonable
To reiterate I am looking to make an AI chatbot that resembles a typical heyurizen as much as possible, I am currently not interested in generating images as I find AI generated images to be poor quality (usually)
