Paperless AI
A self-hosted AI & Machine Learning app you can run on your own server.
With Paperless AI, you get a self-hosted AI and machine-learning tool that lives on your own server, under your rules. It is a practical pick for homelab users and teams who prefer owning their tools over renting them.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 5.9K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Mar 31, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Self-hosted AI tools reward a quick hardware check: chat interfaces are light, but local model runners need RAM and, ideally, a GPU. Start with a small model, confirm the interface connects to it, and only then scale up. Running AI on your own server keeps prompts and documents on hardware you control.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Paperless AI is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
