# About Project N.O.M.A.D.

||||
Project N.O.M.A.D. (Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data; "Nomad" for short) is a project started in 2025 by Chris Sherwood of [Crosstalk Solutions, LLC.](https://crosstalksolutions.com). The goal of the project is not to create just another utility for storing offline resources, but rather to allow users to run their own ultime "survival computer".

Project N.O.M.A.D. (Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data; "Nomad" for short) is a project started in 2025 by Chris Sherwood of [Crosstalk Solutions, LLC.](https://crosstalksolutions.com). The goal of the project is not to create just another utility for storing offline resources, but rather to allow users to run their own ultimate "survival computer".
|
||||
|
||||
While many similar offline survival computers are designed to be run on bare-minimum, lightweight hardware, Project N.O.M.A.D. is quite the opposite. To install and run the available AI tools, we highly encourage the use of a beefy, GPU-backed device to make the most of your install.

|
||||
|
||||
Since its initial release, NOMAD has grown to include built-in AI chat with a Knowledge Base for document-aware responses, a System Benchmark with a community leaderboard, curated content collections with tiered options, and an Easy Setup Wizard to get new users up and running quickly.

### What are curated collection tiers?
|

When selecting content in the Easy Setup wizard or Content Explorer, collections are organized into three tiers:
|

- **Essential** — Core content for the category (smallest download)
|

- **Standard** — Essential plus additional useful content
|

- **Comprehensive** — Everything available for the category (largest download)

## AI Questions
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I use the AI chat?
|
||||
1. Go to [AI Chat](/chat) from the Command Center
|
||||
2. Type your question or request
|
||||
3. The AI responds in conversational style
|
||||
|
||||
The AI must be installed first — enable it during Easy Setup or install it from the [Apps](/settings/apps) page.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I upload documents to the Knowledge Base?
|
||||
1. Go to **[Knowledge Base →](/knowledge-base)**
|
||||
2. Upload your documents (PDFs, text files, etc.)
|
||||
3. Documents are processed and indexed automatically
|
||||
4. Ask questions in AI Chat — the AI will reference your uploaded documents when relevant
|
||||
|
||||
NOMAD documentation is automatically added to the Knowledge Base when the AI Assistant is installed.
|
||||
|
||||
### What is the System Benchmark?
|
||||
The System Benchmark tests your hardware performance and generates a NOMAD Score — a weighted composite of CPU, memory, disk, and AI performance. You can create a Builder Tag (a NOMAD-themed identity like "Tactical-Llama-1234") and share your results with the [community leaderboard](https://benchmark.projectnomad.us).
|
||||
|
||||
Go to **[System Benchmark →](/settings/benchmark)** to run one.

- The benchmark must include AI results (AI Assistant must be installed and working)

||||
The Knowledge Base lets you upload documents so the AI can reference them when answering your questions. It uses semantic search (RAG via Qdrant) to find relevant information from your uploaded files.
|
||||
|
||||
**Supported file types:**
|
||||
- PDFs, text files, and other document formats
|
||||
- NOMAD documentation is automatically loaded when the AI Assistant is installed

**Use cases:**
|
||||
- Upload emergency plans for quick reference during a crisis
|
||||
- Load technical manuals and SOPs for offline work sites
|
||||
- Add curriculum guides for homeschooling
|
||||
- Store research papers for academic work
