    Hello there!

    Since 2018, I've been creating small scripts for different Generative AI Tools and more. Now, I've merged them all and created some applications with them; one of the finished ones is EDICO.

    📝 EDICO is a local, browser-based tool for building character LoRA training datasets with AI-generated captions, and it turns a folder of character images into a clean, captioned training dataset — no command-line juggling, no manual caption typing.

    ✨ The app is absolutely free, Open-Source, with an MIT license, so you can try it, modify it, etc. It's written in PowerShell and pulls Ollama models.

    How does it work? The 7-step workflow:

    1. 👋 Welcome: This screen is the first step, and here you create your project or make a new one.

    2. 👁️ Vision Model: You select your favorite Vision Model to create the captioning. It's required to have Ollama installed.

    3. 🪪 Identity: In this step, you choose your trigger word and also the basic and static identity for your character.

    4. 🖼️ Images: You drag and drop images or an entire folder, obviously with the images of your character.

    5. 📁 Categories: You can select, add, or remove categories that your model will use for captioning your character images.

    6. ⚡ Pipeline: This step is the process where your vision model will start creating the captions of your images.

    7. 📂 Organizer: Here you will organize your captioned images, edit the captions, and do a lot more; this area here is a masterpiece, trust me!
