CottageAI

Human-scale AI, with a local home.

Cottage AI explores a different approach to artificial intelligence: smaller in scale, closer to the user, and built with care.

“Cottage” means two things to us. It means human-scale tools designed for real people and small organizations — and it means local-first AI: software that can live closer to the edge, closer to your own machine, and less dependent on distant platforms.

We’re interested in AI that is practical, understandable, and personal — less industrial, less extractive, and more at home in everyday life.
