Introducing the webAI Developer Center

The Challenge of Modern AI Integration

Every developer exploring AI faces a familiar pain: you integrate OpenAI’s API, watch a $20 monthly bill balloon unexpectedly to $2,000, and realize your users' data is flowing through external servers with little control.

The dream of delivering AI-powered features is often overshadowed by unpredictable costs, data privacy concerns, and a fragmented development path. The problem isn’t capability, it’s clarity. 

Builders need a single place to learn how to go from zero to shipped: A hub with resources that are practical, trustworthy, and geared toward real deployment.

That’s why we’ve created the webAI Developer Center—your new, all-in-one guide for local AI.

What to expect in the Developer Center

When talking with developers, the message was clear: it’s not platform capabilities holding them back, but figuring out where to begin and how to extend. Documentation alone wasn’t enough. You wanted clear, practical education—a place where learning is as central as building.

The Developer Center is designed for the people bringing AI into production—enterprise developers, solution architects, data scientists, and platform engineers. It focuses on the use cases teams are deploying right now, including:

• Multimodal KG RAG — unlocking answers from dense manuals, SOPs, CAD files, and PDFs.
• Federated & privacy-preserving AI — training across distributed data without moving it.
• Predictive anomaly detection — surfacing issues early and optimizing operations.
• Vision at the edge — running vision models directly on devices for inspections and compliance.

We’re taking a hands-on approach: tutorials, guided journeys, and practical walkthroughs that lay out every essential step, from setup to deployment.

Underpinning everything is our local-first philosophy, empowering you to build private, specialized AI you fully own and control—with predictable costs, autonomy in your stack, and privacy by design. 

What’s Available Today

The webAI Developer Center is packed with carefully structured resources to help you move from idea to working AI—regardless of your experience level.

Getting Started Foundation

• Setup & Requirements: Clear hardware and OS guidelines so you know exactly what you need—no hidden surprises. Not sure if your Mac is compatible? We provide an easy compatibility check.
• Step-by-Step Install: Follow a simple installation path, illustrated with checkpoints and troubleshooting tips to remove guesswork.
• 10-Minute Local Chat Assistant Tutorial: Dive right in with a beginner-friendly walkthrough. In just minutes, build your own AI chat assistant—no API keys, no cloud configuration.
• Core Concepts Explained: Understand clusters, deployments, and the architecture powering local-first AI with approachable, visual explanations.

Product Understanding

• Navigator, Companion, & Infrastructure Overviews: Explore what each major product does—whether it’s workflow management, automations, or building AI-driven web experiences.
• Visual Workflow Builder: Construct sophisticated automations with drag & drop ease; no learning new languages required.
• Private AI Chat Interfaces: Learn how to create auto-appearing, fully private chatbots that plug into your projects without sending data off-device.

Learning Resources

• Video Tutorials: Watch quick-starts and deep-dives into real-world use cases.
• Walkthroughs & Examples: Get hands-on with projects like customer support bots, document processors, and intelligent data explorers.
• Extensive Docs & Troubleshooting: Everything is covered, with searchable guidance for when you hit a snag.

Whether you’re prototyping, integrating, or deploying to users, these resources keep your momentum high and your roadblocks few.

Why Empowering Local-First AI Matters

We believe access to AI that you own, control, and represents your values is fundamental to AI fulfilling its promise. Without the ability to own and shape your AI, it's just another tool for the big tech oligopoly to entrench their power and worldview.

webAI flips the script: your expenses become predictable, and your data remains securely inside your infrastructure. This means no API metering, no surprise surcharges, no off-site processing, and no changes to the model to represent anyone's interest but yours.

Own your whole AI stack—customize every piece and keep full visibility. Optimized for Apple Silicon hardware, you get the best performance directly from your own devices.
