Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been doing a lot of deep research and found myself needing a bunch of different tools. Honestly, I absolutely hate how mainstream cloud tools like ChatGPT or Gemini handle research. They hallucinate, they make stuff up, and the output is just out of control. In the end, I still had to manually fix almost everything anyway. Plus, I refuse to share my personal data with big tech companies who just sell it.

So, I decided to build my own platform where I have full control over my data and can do serious research without relying entirely on cloud LLMs: Introlix.

You can see a quick video demo of how it works right in the repo README.

What works right now:

- It’s a clean workspace (looks a bit like Google Docs) paired with a dedicated research engine to keep notes organized.

- Built-in web scrapers and a local database layer so your data stays on your machine.

- Right now it connects to APIs, but I’m actively adding support for local hardware execution over the next couple of days so you can run it 100% offline.

The Future Vision:

When I started this project, my goal was just to build it as a research platform. But now I realize I need a lot of different tools, such as a separate audio processor to remove stutters and clean audio. I haven't started working on this audio feature yet, I'm just making the plan to build it. It won't use an LLM model, it will use a deep learning model instead.

This is where I want to take the platform: I want to shift it from just a research desk into a tool platform. It will host many different ML tools to solve different problems. Users will be able to select exactly what tool they want to use from the UI, and only that specific tool will be downloaded. No extra bloated stuff will touch your disk. You can see the roadmap in the README for full info.

Why I'm sharing this:

Look, I know most of these tools already exist scattered across the web. But they aren't unified into one single platform how I imagine it, and almost none of them keep your data safe.

This is a highly personal project, but I wanted to show it online to get real feedback from people who actually care about self-hosting and privacy. It's 100% open-source and open to contributors. I’m a student and I really want to learn how to manage a project at scale, so if you want to hop in and use it or help build it, you are incredibly welcome.

It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s completely usable and self-hostable today via Docker.

Hello, First of all I'm a student and I use fedora Linux not windows. But I do have to share my pc with my brother and they want windows because they do video editing.

On my computer before I was running windows 11. Windows 11 was running well along with fedora. But 6 months ago I got an update in windows 11 and then it started to crash. And also my brother was not using my pc due to his studies so I told him that I'll uninstall windows right now but will install again when you need it again.

Now, he told me to install it again and so i removed the fedora drive and installed windows on another drive and it ran but when I restarted the pc I got black screen saying something went wrong and will restart my pc and it was stuck in a loop. So, I tried a lot and somehow I got on my computer and updated my pc. Then that error was gone but then windows started lagging and I tried a lot of things updating and someone told me this update causes the problem and when I removed the update I went back to the same boot loop problem.

In the end I installed windows 10 as he needs windows only for video editing. Windows 10 runs well but windows 11 does not run well.

Microsoft has totally broken windows.

Hello, I'm starting college soon and thinking of which degree to do for a robotics software engineer. I'm interested in automation. I want to build a system not just a humonoid robot but any system that is related to automation. And I tried ros2 and gazebo and I did find it interesting and also I find eps and microcontrollers interesting.

So, mostly I want to work on the software heavy side but some won't care if there are some circuits.

I can choose between Computer Engineer or Electronic Systems.

Here is the Electronic Systems syllabus: https://study.iitm.ac.in/es/academics.html#AC1

Now, by seeing this syllabus can anyone answer my question, should I do electronic systems or computer engineering.

Thanks for reading and I hope I'll get my answer.
