Why does it have to have AI? Ugh.

You can use Kiwix, OpenStreetMap and Kolibri as an AI-free equivalent. Adding AI to those is exactly the differentiator of this project.
Because if you're stuck in your underground bunker, who else can you talk to?
AI seems expensive from an energy standpoint, but humans consume your food supply. :D
I get the hate on AI for many reasons (hype, resource greediness, threat to civilization, etc), but having a local LLM that could help guide and reason about the data within seems like a win, especially if it's optional.
