Sarathy : My Personal Assistant

Who is Sarathy and Why ?

Sarathy is my own AI assistant implementation focused on local models. Frustrated with bloated alternatives and API costs, I built this to run 100% offline with only the features I need.

Sarathy means helper, guide, driver, mentor in both Sanskrit & Tamil.
