## Summary
Simplify the Selora AI experience by providing a managed cloud gateway alongside local model support. This abstracts the complexity of LLM backend configuration, offering users a choice between high-performance cloud intelligence and privacy-focused local execution.
## Value
- **Ease of Use:** No need for users to manage their own API keys (OpenAI/Anthropic) unless they choose to.
- **Performance:** Access to the latest and most capable models via our optimized infrastructure.
- **Privacy:** Clear "Local" vs "Cloud" toggle, ensuring users know exactly where their data is processed.
## Scope
- **Managed Infrastructure:** Scalable gateway to handle LLM requests securely.
- **Backend Selection:** UI toggle between "Selora AI Cloud" and "Selora AI Local".
- **LLM Integration:** Abstracted support for major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) and local Ollama.
- **Future-proofing:** Path for Selora-specific lightweight local models.
## Target customers
- Homeowners (convenience and performance)
- Installers (standardized AI setup for clients)
