Avoid vague requests

Give LocalAI a clear task, useful context and an expected output format. Ambiguous inputs make inconsistent results more likely.

Do not skip verification

Review factual claims, calculations, code, citations and high-impact recommendations before acting on them.

Be careful with sensitive information

Follow your privacy and security rules before submitting confidential, customer or proprietary information.

Test before scaling

Validate a workflow on a small set of real tasks before making it part of a larger process.
