AI coding and workspace platforms are a dime a dozen these days, but I couldn’t help but be surprised to see that PewDiePie has developed an AI workspace called Odysseus. The YouTuber is, perhaps surprisingly, pretty hot on powerhouse Linux and AI tools. If you’re not familiar with an AI workspace, it’s a platform that allows AI to interact with other tools and data; it could be a coding workspace or a way to have AI help out with your documents and emails.What initially caught my interest about Odysseus is its privacy-first approach. It’s designed to be self-hosted and is easy enough to compile into a Docker image to run on my DIY NAS. This has the obvious benefit that emails, documents, personal information, and anything else you share with your large language models of choice remain yours, not saved and potentially exploited by a third-party company.
