## Description

Guaardvark is a self-hosted AI platform that turns a Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU into a complete local AI studio. It provides a web interface and REST API for chatting with your own documents using hybrid keyword/vector search with citations, running autonomous agents that control a virtual Ubuntu desktop to browse, click and type, managing swarms of parallel coding agents in separate git worktrees, and generating video, images, music, and voice — all on your own hardware. A built-in MCP server exposes over 50 tools to popular code editors, while an MCP client lets the chat call external MCP servers. The stack includes PostgreSQL with pgvector, Redis, Ollama, ComfyUI, and a plugin system for GPU services. Installation is a single curl command that sets up Python 3.12, Node 22, PostgreSQL, Redis, Ollama, Whisper.cpp and the frontend. macOS Apple Silicon and Windows WSL2 are supported with some GPU limitations. The project is MIT licensed, developed by Albenze, Inc., with no telemetry and all outbound network paths declared in egress.json and off by default.
