Description
In this talk, we’ll explore how to transform ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors on Ubuntu into a privacy-first AI assistant by integrating a local language model (e.g., LocalAI or GPT4All). We’ll cover:
1. Why Local AI Matters
· The benefits of running inference on-device: data privacy, offline capability, and reduced latency.
2. ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors + DocSpace
3. Setup & Integration
· Installing and configuring LocalAI on Ubuntu.
· Installing the ONLYOFFICE AI plugin and connecting it to the local model via REST.
4. Live Demonstration
· Summarizing a long report in one click.
· Generating translations with contextual accuracy.
· Refining and reformatting text via conversational prompts within the editor.
5. Best Practices & Extensions
· Tips for model fine-tuning and resource management on Ubuntu.
· How to extend the same approach to spreadsheets and presentations.
Summary
This session will show you how to harness open-source, locally deployed AI models directly inside ONLYOFFICE without relying on external APIs or cloud services. You’ll see end-to-end setup on Ubuntu, experience a real-time demo of key AI-driven editing features, and learn best practices for maintain
What audience can learn
· Installation & Configuration: Step-by-step setup of LocalAI/GPT4All on Ubuntu and connection to ONLYOFFICE.
· AI-Driven Editing Techniques: How to invoke summarization, translation, and text refinement directly in the editor.
· Privacy & Performance Considerations: Strategies to optimize model size, resource usage, and data confidentiality.
· Extensibility: Approaches to adapt this workflow for other document types (spreadsheets, slides) and integrate additional open-source models.
