Legible: Breaking the Bureaucratic Language Barrier for Immigrant Communities with Local AI

Legible addresses a critical real-world problem: immigrants struggling to understand government and legal documents written in complex bureaucratic English. By running Gemma 4 entirely on-device via Ollama, the app ensures that sensitive personal data—Social Security numbers, tax IDs, medical records—never leaves the user's machine, solving a genuine privacy vulnerability that cloud-based document services create. This demonstrates how open-source AI models can serve underserved communities while maintaining true data privacy.
