The AI tools in our directory run in a browser, but running AI on your own computer takes the right hardware. These are the parts that matter, in rough order of impact.
Graphics cards (16 GB+)
The part that matters most for running AI models at home. More video memory means bigger models and faster image generation.
See on Amazon ↗Desktop PCs for AI work
Ready-built towers with a strong graphics card and 32 GB of memory, if you would rather not build your own.
See on Amazon ↗Mini PCs for automation
Small, quiet, low-power boxes that can run workflow tools such as n8n around the clock.
See on Amazon ↗Memory (RAM) upgrades
32 GB is a comfortable floor for local AI work. Often the cheapest upgrade with the biggest effect.
See on Amazon ↗Fast NVMe drives
AI models are large files. A fast drive cuts loading times from minutes to seconds.
See on Amazon ↗Monitors
A sharp 27-inch screen makes long sessions with AI tools and video editing easier on the eyes.
