local-ai-lab

A hands-on training repository for building local, private AI from scratch — RAG, MCP, LangChain, LangGraph, and more. Every lesson produces a small, fully working program that runs on your machine.

All lesson content, interactive sliders, and PDFs live on GitHub Pages and are always up-to-date:
