Choose selfhost-ai if…
- selfhost-ai is primarily Shell; unbody is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to selfhost-ai: ai, ai-agents, automation, chatgpt-alternative.
- More GitHub stars (897 vs 527) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use selfhost-ai
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
