Hey guys,
OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and others all store your chat history in the cloud, so nothing you share with them stays private. They also use this data to retrain their models.
If you're concerned about uploading sensitive information, your best bet is running a chatbot locally on your laptop that works completely offline.
I've got an offline AI chatbot setup here... It is running off my laptop and doesn't share prompts / documents to anyone.
More about the project here: Open WebUI
And here are installation instructions for the free version (technical): Getting Started | Open WebUI

How to install... (written using Deepseek running on my laptop!)
Edit: I did have installation instructions here but I thought they were too complicated. If you want the instructions back let me know and I'll post them back here.
