Can you promote in r/selfhostedai?
SelfHostedAI seeks recommendations for building and hosting your own private AI: hardware that minimizes cost while maximizing performance and software for offline tagging, linking and querying one's private documents.
The short answer
Answer questions with useful, technical recommendations first; if mentioning your product, disclose your affiliation briefly and avoid overt sales language or links unless asked.
What works here
