local-ai-agents

Build local-first AI agents wey dey run fully for developer workstation wit Microsoft Foundry Local and Qwen function-calling models. E cover Small Language Models (SLMs), the OpenAI-compatible local endpoint, sandboxed local tools, local RAG wit Chroma, local MCP servers, hybrid cloud/local routing, and di privacy/cost/offline trade-offs. E based on Lesson 17 of AI Agents for Beginners. USE FOR: run agent locally, offline agent, on-device agent, Foundry Local, Qwen function calling, local tool calling, local RAG, Chroma vector database, local MCP server, privacy-preserving agent, hybrid local and cloud agent, small language model agent, engineering assistant for my machine. DO NOT USE FOR: deploying agents to di cloud at scale (use deploying-scalable-agents / Lesson 16), building your first agent concept (Lesson 01), Foundry (cloud) hosted agents, GPU cluster / server-side inference provisioning.
