Short version of what this is:</p>
<p dir="auto">Lizard runs a real AI model <strong>on your own computer</strong>. No cloud account, no usage limits, and what you type never leaves your machine. It checks what your hardware can handle, suggests a model that fits, and gets you chatting in a few minutes.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Getting started:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Install and open it — everything's in the one installer, no Python or Docker needed first.</li>
<li>Let it scan your machine. It only suggests models that will actually run well.</li>
<li>Pick one, let it download, activate it.</li>
<li>Talk to it — either the quick test chat in setup, or the full chat app from the tray icon.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Two ways to chat:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Quick chat</strong> in setup — a fast check that a model answers sensibly.</li>
<li><strong>Chat app</strong> (tray icon → Open chat app) — the full window, keeps your conversation, warms the model and lets you unload it when you're done.</li>
</ul>

<p dir="auto">Introduce yourself and say what you're running it on — the hardware range here is genuinely wide.</p>
