Start here — what Lizard is and how to get going
-
Welcome. Short version of what this is:
Lizard runs a real AI model on your own computer. 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.
Getting started:
- Install and open it — everything's in the one installer, no Python or Docker needed first.
- Let it scan your machine. It only suggests models that will actually run well.
- Pick one, let it download, activate it.
- Talk to it — either the quick test chat in setup, or the full chat app from the tray icon.
Two ways to chat:
- Quick chat in setup — a fast check that a model answers sensibly.
- Chat app (tray icon → Open chat app) — the full window, keeps your conversation, warms the model and lets you unload it when you're done.

Introduce yourself and say what you're running it on — the hardware range here is genuinely wide.
