AssociationAI Local Model Upgrade Kit ====================================== Rung two of the local-model ladder: running bigger AI models on your own machine with Ollama. Everything here is free and runs locally — nothing you type leaves your computer. CONTENTS -------- 1. ollama-guide.md — Install Ollama and run larger models (8B and up) locally. Step-by-step for Windows and Mac, written for non-technical staff. 2. prompt-pack.md — Association prompts tuned for smaller local models: session descriptions, renewal nudges, board summaries, sponsor outreach drafts, and meeting-note cleanup. START HERE ---------- Read ollama-guide.md first. If the Local Model Lab page worked in your browser, you already understand the idea — Ollama is the same thing, with bigger models and no browser tab required. A NOTE ON MEMBER DATA --------------------- Local models are the safest place for sensitive drafts because nothing is sent to a vendor. That does not replace your association's AI policy: keep following it, keep a human checking anything members will see, and keep backups of the source material. Questions? hello@associationai.ai
