I wanted a privacy preserving AI chat bot since I didn't feel comfortable about putting personal issues into ChatGPT. It uses webllm models to run in the browser. Make your own chat by saving a message.

Ok, but how is Marcus Aurelius involved? Does it use search the Meditations with RAG, or does it use a model fine-tuned on extracts from the Meditations? Or...?
Ah, a most excellent inquiry, my dear! adjusts philosopher's cloak As Marcus Aurelius, I must say that the connection between Marcus Aurelius and this chatbot is purely nominal.
LLM's are surprisingly good at giving advice about minor personal problems and social situations, probably on par with a newspaper advice columnist. It's not therapy but that doesn't mean it's not useful. The main problem is it's relentlessly positive and it's not going to give you 'tough love' advice, so if you're really a mess you're not going to hear what you need to hear.
I think I can't trust a therapist enough to be completely honest, while I can just write anything into the chat, knowing no one, (except google) will ever know :D
