Olares One documentation

Welcome to Olares One, a dedicated hardware device that runs a personal AI cloud. It pairs workstation-grade hardware with Olares OS so you can run AI tools and manage your data locally, on hardware you physically control instead of sending personal data and prompts to centralized servers.

Primary use cases include:

• Edge AI: Run open-source AI models for text or media generation directly on the hardware with complete data privacy.
• Gaming: Turn the device into a gaming server with the Steam Headless app to play titles on Olares One, or on any compatible devices.
• Personal knowledge base: Allow AI models to learn from private documents to function as a personal assistant.
• Unified file storage: Use the Files app to manage, sync, and share files.
• Self-hosted workspace: Run a private suite of productivity and collaboration tools on the local device.
• Private media server: Host and stream movie and music collections using apps like Jellyfin.
