Show HN: Ragdoll Studio - the creative suite for character-driven AI experiences

The goal of Ragdoll is to be the absolute best free/open source AI creative tool for making: - Stories - Copywriting - Icons - Logos - Animations - Photos - Illustrations - Concept art - TV shows - Podcasts - Cinematics - Cutscenes - Films - Music - Sound effects - Speech - Game NPCS & characters - & more! There's also a Community Site where creators can share their AI creations (stories, games, movies, etc.) and also the Ragdolls they used to create them: https://ragdoll-studio.vercel.app/ Think of a "Ragdoll" like an "AI Character" (in a character.ai sense) that uses RAG to let the user "load knowledge" and extend the character to go way beyond storytelling: For example, they can create art and music in a certain style. See examples: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e... Ragdoll is also easily forkable :) The u

nderlying AI lib, the backend API, and React FE components are all broken down into separate libraries. So if you wanted to create, say a LeonardoAI competitor - you can just fork Ragdoll and focus on the image part (it uses Stable Diffusion under the hood). The next step with this project is to get a good Desktop app so end users can just download/install, then I will focus on all the different modalities and really start to take this project to the next level (with video, etc.). Thanks for checking out my project - any/all contributions are welcome!

In Ask HN: What do you use local LLMs for?
> I always say I want AI to work offline I'm with you, I'm most excited about this too. Currently building an AI creative studio (make stories, art, music, videos, etc.) that runs locally/offline (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio). There is a lot of focus on cloud with LLMs but I can't see how the cost will make much sense for involved creative apps like video creation, etc. Present day users might not have high-end machines, but I think they all will pretty soon - this will make them buy them the way MMORPGs made everyone buy more RAM. Especially the artists and creators. Remember, Photoshop was once pretty difficult to run, you needed a great machine. I can imagine offline music/movies apps, offline search engines, back office software, etc.
