Who This Is For
This approach is most valuable for professionals who handle sensitive client data — lawyers, therapists, financial advisors, management consultants, healthcare professionals. It is also valuable for organizations with data governance policies that prohibit external AI services.

But the threshold for technical skill is not high. Most non-developers with basic comfort with software installation and configuration can set this up. It is not "developer only."
