Here are 10 top GitHub projects. This is not an ordinary collection; it's a weapon arsenal for "solo combat."

The core logic is straightforward: use machine computing power to replace your manpower. Most people treat them as toys, but smart users have already built automated pipelines with them.

Detailed list and usage

1. Infrastructure Layer: Local Large Models

1. Autonomous Computing Power: Ollama + Open WebUI

Want to use AI but don't want to share data with OpenAI?
• Ollama: A minimal way to run models like Llama3, Qwen locally.
• Open WebUI: Wraps local models with a ChatGPT-like interface, supporting multi-model switching.

This combination is the foundation for building your local knowledge base. Zero cost, data is absolutely secure.

2. Material Layer: Violent Extraction

2. Raw Content Cleaning: Whisper + PaddleOCR

The most time-consuming part of content creation is organizing materials.
• Whisper: OpenAI's open-source speech-to-text. Feed in videos, and it outputs timestamped subtitles. Extremely high accuracy.
• PaddleOCR: Text extraction from images. Whether PDFs or hard subtitles in videos, brute-force recognition.

Running these two tools will boost information entry efficiency by at least 10 times.

3. Central Layer: Automation

3. Workflow Automation: n8n

This is an open-source version of Zapier, without expensive subscription fees. Its value lies in "connectivity." Monitor Twitter -> Call Whisper for transcription -> Call Ollama for summarization -> Send to Notion. Once this process runs smoothly, it works while you sleep.

4. Development Layer: Coding Assistance

4. Rapid Development: Aider + Fabric

• Aider: AI pair programming in the terminal. You specify requirements, and it directly modifies code files, commits to git.
• Fabric: The focus here isn't code but prompts. It encapsulates top expert thinking into Patterns.

Use Fabric to optimize your ideas, and Aider to implement code.

5. Search and Drawing

5. Deep Search and Design: Perplexica + ComfyUI

• Perplexica: Local version of Perplexity. Deep web search without ads, high signal-to-noise ratio.
• ComfyUI: Don't get stuck on simple text-to-image. Node-based workflows are the standard for industrial-grade output. Although difficult to master, it represents the current upper limit of AI drawing.

6. Business Layer: Customer Service and Knowledge Base

6. Offline Business: GPT4All

If your business needs to operate offline or requires highly private customer service systems, GPT4All allows you to run large models on a standard CPU and supports RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Feed it product documentation, and it becomes a 24/7 customer service that doesn't require salaries.
