Bloom — Local AI & Data Center
Your private center for data: secure storage, media hosting, and AI-powered organization running on your own hardware.
What Bloom does
- Runs on your NAS/home server — fully under your control.
- Stores family photos, videos, documents, and backups securely.
- Provides AI-powered search, tagging, and face/object recognition.
- Streams media (movies, music) locally without relying on cloud services.
- Acts as a foundation hub for Leif and Ivy to connect into.
Why it matters
- Private: no cloud vendor harvesting your data.
- Resilient: RAID/ZFS storage protects against drive loss.
- Cost-effective: one-time hardware, no monthly per-GB charges.
- Extendable: plug in AI models, media servers, backup pipelines.
