You really don’t understand how having an AI agent look through your wiki and pull up relevant links quickly is useful? Also, what higher chance of failure are you talking about. It’s not like it’s an integral part of the system. The whole Ollama component is entirely opt in. At least try to make some sense here.
My setup is searchable ZIM files on a pen drive. I open the file with a viewer on any PC or f-droid capable android. No servers involved, no handoff of data involved. More like a book as last resort.
Maps are openstreet maps downloads in osmand.
From my perspective there is no need to over engineer a basic tool.
For example, take a look at those TEOTWAWKI preppers. They’re hoarding books, ebooks, literature and knowledge in the most robust and reliable way. No need to add a tech stack that might or might not yield the proper answer and might or might not hide important facts in the summary.
The advantage with the agents is that they can do much better fuzzy searching when you’re not using exact terms, and they can correlate things for you. So, you can ask general questions and get useful information pulled out from your db. A searchable ZIM drive doesn’t do that for you.

Edit: https://feddit.org/comment/12160220 this fella has some great additions, too. E.g. Unnecessary resource hunger.
