Hello,
We have reviewed Vandalizer's technical specifications and self-hosting documentation. Before working with our IT colleagues to assign the necessary hardware and support resources, we would like to learn from institutions with real-world implementation experience.
Introducing Vandalizer: An AI Tool Built for Research Administration
Has anyone installed Vandalizer on institution-owned local hardware? If so, we would appreciate learning about your actual configuration, implementation effort, ongoing support needs, unexpected challenges, and lessons learned.
We would be especially interested in experiences with locally hosted AI models or OCR, system performance under regular use, and any differences between the documented requirements and the resources ultimately needed. We have a homegrown eRA and want to expand.
If you are willing to share your experience or connect for a brief conversation, please let me know.
Thanks!
