The simple definition
A local LLM is a language model that runs on your machine or server instead of a remote provider's infrastructure.
Why documents need more
A model alone does not know your files. Retrieval systems index approved documents so the assistant can search them and answer with context.
Where agents fit
Agents connect the assistant to tools and repeatable workflows, such as drafting, summarizing, searching, routing, and preparing next actions.
How MADA AI helps
MADA AI turns the idea into a working system: hardware selection, local model installation, private document intelligence, security defaults, white-glove setup, training, and managed updates.
