AIRunner

AI Runner combines a layered image canvas with configurable chat companions that run on local hardware. Its official project material describes sketching, image-to-image work, inpainting, filters, and image generation, alongside text and voice conversations. Companion settings include a name, personality, and memory across sessions. The current repository documents Python and container installation paths and identifies Linux as its primary supported platform, with experimental Windows support. Availability needs clarification: a recent developer announcement says packaged distribution is paused while development continues and directs readers to the repository. Users should follow the current source instructions rather than assume the storefront offers a ready-made installer. Hardware capacity and separately obtained models affect which workflows can run effectively. An evaluation should first compare the documented requirements with the intended machine and review the selected model's terms. This directory review read the storefront, developer announcement, and repository without installing packages, downloading models, running inference, or validating claims about privacy and performance.
