Indie AI Developers

The road to an independent AI developer

We mainly know the term indie developers from the games industry. These are developers who work solo or in small teams on their own game ideas - completely independently of large corporations. They take care of development, marketing and publishing themselves. This often results in unusual game mechanics and creative level designs that you wouldn't expect. Sure, that means a lot of work, but the freedom and independence more than make up for it for many.

In my opinion, what works in the gaming world can be transferred to indie AI developers.

It's about independent AI developers who develop creative applications away from the big tech companies. I definitely see potential here that needs to be exploited. We are all noticing how rapidly and inexorably technology is developing. These advances in AI - with increasingly sophisticated and compact models - allow us developers to work more efficiently and faster than ever before.

In concrete terms, this means that we have completely new opportunities to create and design things ourselves. The range of possibilities in which we can realize ourselves is huge. That's exactly why I want to go down the path of an independent AI developer and find my own niche.

At this point, let me briefly explain what the Quantyverse is all about: my focus is on local AI applications, with the aim of enriching immersive virtual experiences, such as video games, with local AI. Everything I develop revolves around the question: How can I use AI in a meaningful way?

Before I venture into more complex projects like games with AI-controlled characters or virtual avatars, I want to build a solid foundation. My goal is to develop a really good feel for the technologies. That's why I start with very basic Large Language Model (LLM) applications and build up different systems step by step - from RAG systems to crawlers and AI agents.

I will share my findings and developments with you on this blog. My hope is that you will find something here that will help you. Some of the applications will be open source, some will be free and some will also cost something.

For me, the Quantyverse is not a business idea, but a passion - a journey that I would like to take you on.

At this point, I would like to encourage you to just get started, even if you don't yet know exactly where the journey will take you. Over time, your inner picture of what you want to create will become clearer and clearer. This is still the case for me today: I am increasingly able to sense which topics appeal to me more and where my interests lie. The most important thing is to keep at it - even if it's only 30 minutes a day. Invest this time in something that will take you further.

Have fun developing!
