The project also includes safe file operations, demo mode, and a Mess Score.</p> <h2> Why Does Open Innovation Matter? </h2> <p>Personal files can contain sensitive information, so I didn't want to upload them to a cloud AI service.</p> <p>With Ollama and an open-weight model, the AI can run locally, keeping the user's files on their own computer.</p> <p>It also means I can change or upgrade the model without rebuilding the entire application around a closed API.</p> <h2> My Agent Session </h2> <p>[ADD DEVRELAY LINK IF AVAILABLE]</p> <h2> Prize Categories </h2> <p><strong>Gemma — Best Use of Gemma</strong></p> <p>Gemma is used as the local AI intelligence behind Digital Janitor.</p> devchallenge weekendchallenge hf26challenge
