Hello, I'm Cihat Emre Karataş

I build local-first AI products, RAG systems, and intelligent web apps.

I turn LLM ideas into usable software — from memory-enabled assistants and internal chatbots to production-ready products built with Python, Django, React, and modern AI tooling.

What OpenClaw Gets Right About Personal AI

What OpenClaw Gets Right About Personal AI

OpenClaw matters because it treats AI as a real personal assistant: local-first, multi-channel, and built to connect reasoning with action instead of stopping at chat.
