Abstract

As a language teacher turned AI developer, I set out to create something that combines both of my passions: a self-hosted Swedish tutor powered by open-source models. This DIY project combines Ollama, LangGraph, and Gradio into a modular system that runs locally, delivers nuanced feedback, and costs nothing to run. No cloud inference, no API keys, just a playful, powerful way to decentralize AI and make language learning fun again.
