The Personal AI Architecture

Personal AI Architecture is an open architecture for building personal AI systems you own and control. Just 4 components and 2 APIs.

This channel teaches builders how to build their own Personal AI System instead of renting AI from Big Tech.

Hosted by Dave Waring, co-creator of the Personal AI Architecture. Vibe-coder friendly; demos use Claude Code as the default coding agent.

Earlier DigitalBrainBase videos covered Open WebUI and self-hosted AI fundamentals. Those remain here as a primer on local AI; new videos cover the architecture, BrainDrive builds, and what we learn along the way.
