Hi, I've used Rool so far for things from building my own baby inference engine for learning how the inference process really works, to a simple AI product comparison analysis, to helping me create weird and wonderful homelab remote access solutions.
My mini inference engine was trained and runs in my Rool machine and actually produces answers to questions.
It's trained on a few sentences, repeated multiple times, about ducks living on a pond, so of course all its answers are duck-based, which I think mainstream LLMs could benefit from.
Rool is unique: a perfect balance of power and simplicity. Highly recommended!
P.S. I don't know Casper but emailed him out of the blue and he took the time to reply to me personally (he assured me he's human!). This is the way to build and run a startup.
Rool has consistently been able to answer questions that other AI companies have failed at... 2 quick examples are extracting and analysing data from .fit files to develop training strategies, and trawling the net to understand how to use 20 year old laptops to control 15 year old guitar fx hardware. CoPilot and ChatGPT both claimed they could help but weren't able to deliver, whereas the Rool agent just dug in and got on with it. Excellent.
@dominic_stockton Thank you! The guitar fx one made me smile. Getting 20 year old laptops to talk to 15 year old hardware is my kind of challenge. I still dream about connecting Rool with my old ZX Spectrum.
Rool have been working great for me in my personal life. I like that all the data stays mine and stored in the EU. I like how the tool use is more transparent and that it's all files in my personal machine. I notice no raw llm difference vs using the labs. Keep up the good work Casper and the team 🙏
@anton_hager Thank you for being here today! And yes, we promise to keep working to improve Rool. Its hard work, lots of fun, and so far rather well received, which is extremely motivating.
I started using Rool to build a preset conversion tool that would help export my Lightroom presets to LUT's and DxO presets. The folder structure view of this thing really helped me with the tool, and from then on i have been using it form almost everything that needs AI. I don't have a subscription yet because i have been buying tokens on a need to basis.
@vitor_gomes_2002 Thanks for sharing! And also shoutout to @roollucas for making the beaitiful UI (file explorer and all), that people love as much as the privacy.
I use Rool as my main AI for normal use, from asking varied questions about my car, my computer or home renovation activities. I think it is great that it remembers our previous chats. I don't need to always specify my computer rig, my car nor my house even.
What convinced me to use it in the first place is that it is hosted in Europe under GDPR. I trust the EU far more than the US.
@luciano_orlandini Thanks for being a Rool user and for sharing! Yeah, EU or not, we really need AI that leaves the user in control of thier own data and lives. One of the more dystopian outcomes of the AI revolution is that knowledge about everyone and everything ends up centralized on a few hands. We want to do our little part in pulling in the other direction.
Private AI assistance. As good as it gets.
It keeps files, remembers projects, good at design as well as tech brainstorming.
Independent, European machine. really cool.
Thanks Rool!
@vyk_aart Thank you, Vyk! Really apprciate the kind words. Hope Rool keeps living up to your expectations.
For me, it was important to have an AI based out of Europe. I couldn’t be happier with Rool. I use it for analysing and recommendation on my finances. for analysing complex documentations around insurance and contracts. It does an excellent job. Really satisfied!
