Share Your Local AI via a Link

Let friends query your configured AI without handing over your account

Problem

Developers have local AI setups (Codex, Claude Code, etc.) that friends or users want to try, but sharing the account is risky. On V2EX, someone built Shennian to solve this, proving the need.

Solution

A lightweight local proxy that connects to your logged-in AI and generates a shareable link. Friends open the link and chat via a web interface; requests route through your local AI. Set access permissions, view conversations, and revoke shares.

Users

Developers with local AI setups, individuals who want to offer AI Q&A to friends or clients, small teams

MVP

Local CLI tool connecting to logged-in AI; generate permission-controlled share links; visitor web chat interface; publisher can view and revoke conversations; optional login.

Revenue

Open-source core + hosted subscription, or charge per shared link. Offer self-hosted license for small teams.

Why now

Local AI tools are proliferating, but sharing mechanisms are missing. Indie developers can build a lightweight middle layer to address privacy and security.
