## What it is
LocalGPT is a local-only AI assistant built in Rust that ships as a single binary with a CLI, desktop GUI, embedded web UI, HTTP API, and MCP server, featuring persistent markdown memory with hybrid FTS5/vector search and kernel-level shell sandboxing. It also includes localgpt-gen, a Bevy-powered mode that builds explorable 3D worlds (geometry, materials, lighting, audio, behaviors) from natural-language prompts.

## Use cases
- run a private AI assistant entirely on my machine with no cloud
- give an AI agent persistent memory across chat sessions
- generate 3D game scenes from natural language descriptions
- integrate a local AI assistant into Claude Desktop or VS Code via MCP
- chat with an AI assistant from Telegram or Discord
- schedule autonomous background agent tasks
- search my conversation history semantically and by keyword
- sandbox AI-executed shell commands at the kernel level

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-first, local AI assistant with no telemetry or cloud storage
- you need an agent with persistent, searchable memory across sessions
- you want to prototype explorable 3D worlds conversationally with Bevy
- you need MCP integration with editors and AI coding assistants
- you want kernel-level sandboxing for agent shell commands without Docker

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted or multi-user production chat service
- you want a managed cloud LLM experience with zero local setup
- you need production-grade 3D content creation beyond procedural primitives
- you require a mature, battle-tested assistant with a large ecosystem
