hey... first time poster here...

I wanted to share something I've been building — a fully offline AI assistant designed specifically for preppers and off-grid living who use Macs. It's called JIC-Prepper-AI (Just In Case)

What it does:

  • Searches 200+ offline knowledge libraries (Wikipedia, Gutenberg, Canadian Prepper, Appropedia and more) using AI
  • Organizes your prepper videos into color-coded categories
  • Lets you upload survival PDFs and guides — then ask AI questions about them
  • Manages your entire ZIM file library
  • Works 100% offline — grid down, no problem

What it runs on:

  • Kiwix (offline knowledge library)
  • Ollama (local AI — llama3)
  • Qdrant (semantic search)
  • One Python file — no complicated setup

It's free and open source: github.com/duescobar08-png/JIC-Prepper-AI

i know that Project Nomad exists... but, i discovered that one after i had started building this... i think that one is built for Windows/PCs...please correct me if i'm wrong...

either way, i would love feedback from the community — especially suggestions for survival sites worth capturing as ZIM files! Just staying prepared...
