I am the creator of AI Runner, an opensource PySide6 application which allows you to easily setup and run opensource, offline, local AI-models. It can be used as a desktop app, or installed as a python library.
As a developer, if you were to use this library, what might you use it for?
I've really enjoyed working on this project over the years, but I want to make it more useful for developers.
I find myself maintaining it more than using it, so I'd love to get feedback from other devs on how you might use it or how I could improve it to make it more useful for you.

*Here's more information about the app:*
AI Runner allows you to generate art with Stable Diffusion and custom tools, create customized Chatbots with moods and emtions using Ministral 8B, have real-time text-to-speech (OpenVoice, SpeechT5, espeak) / speech-to-text (whisper) conversations and use RAG to have conversations about documents.
The desktop app is a sandbox that you can use to play with various features and reference the code to see how you might implement AI Runner in your own python project, or it can be modified and worked into a whole different app.
It should also work without PySide6 - besides the main app, I've used it with a pygame RPG and wrapped it in a socketserver and created a Unity3D plugin.

Can you think of anything you might make with the library? Is the core desktop app appealing to you for anything?
