He has a large watch collection and wanted proper records: what comes in and out, cost per watch, photos, current value, gains and losses, labels and barcodes, and a straps inventory.

His AI runs on a server with Ollama as the backend, so his data stays private. It keeps his todos in a simple text file, sends him reminders about upcoming due dates, and gives him an overview when he asks in a Telegram chat.
