Our summary

Sometimes an AI assistant needs to pick an option from a list, like choosing which set of saved instructions to use. Instead of asking a chat program to write a long answer, the author uses a specialized AI tool called Laya. This tool only makes choices and runs entirely on a private computer.

Before asking the AI to choose, the setup uses strict rules to remove bad options, like tasks that need too much memory. The AI then ranks only the safe choices. Finally, the software double-checks the winning answer to make sure it is actually allowed before taking any action.

This setup is useful for people who want to keep their data private and control their own software. However, the tool slows down significantly when the computer is busy. Also, the author only tested this method against strict rules, not against other AI tools.

Key takeaways

  1. Use strict rules to remove bad options before asking the AI tool to make a choice.
  2. Always double-check the AI tool's answer to make sure it is allowed before acting on it.
  3. Plan for delays, because the tool takes much longer to answer when the computer is busy.

These results come from one specific Mac computer and test cases that were closely related. The author did not test this local tool against Jev, an online AI tool that also chooses from options rather than writing an answer.
