Raspberry Pi just dropped a tiny AI add‑on (AI HAT+ 2) that lets you run local chatbots/models on your own hardware, not the cloud. It’s the “escape velocity” option from ads, paywalls, and prying eyes. Under $200 if you pair it with a Pi5.

This prompt isn't going to turn you into David Ogilvy. It probably won't convert cold traffic at 10%. (Or even 5%, lol.)
But, the output is legible, entertaining, and serves as a framework.
