Zoveli AI — local-first personal assistant

Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude?

They are great — and $20/month, cloud-only, and they learn from what you type unless you opt out. Zoveli is built on the opposite bet:

	Zoveli AI	ChatGPT / Claude
Price	Free, runs on your machine	$8–$20+/month subscriptions
Your data	Stays home — plain Markdown vault you own, never used for training	Sent to the cloud; training opt-out buried in settings
Offline	Fully offline for ~39 local tools	Requires internet, always
Math	Verified or withheld — independent methods must agree, sealed certificate	Best-effort guesses, stated confidently
Model choice	Any API key, or free local Ollama (`ollama pull qwen3:4b`) — swap anytime	Locked to one vendor's models

Use Zoveli when the work is yours: private notes, exact computation, and tools that must work on a plane.

Verified mathematics, not guesses

Every computation runs through mathcore: independent methods must agree before any value is released. Real output from this project:

$ mathcore "solve x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0"
VERIFIED  solve x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 for x
    x = 2; x = 3
    confirmed by: sympy-solve, numeric-polynomial-roots,
                  check:exact-substitution, check:distinct-root-count
    certificate 9c8739cbf1e5ad80

Wrong answers are caught, not repeated: MISMATCH: the claim differs from the verified result.

Local-first by construction

Obsidian-compatible vault — your memory is plain Markdown files you own.
Offline tools — ~39 local tools work with no API key and no network.
Passwordless login — email codes for any inbox including @proton.me. No passwords stored, no OAuth middleman.
Capability awareness — the assistant knows what it can do and says when it can't.
