CorpusMind: Local-first, AI-native research environment for corpus linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis

CorpusMind is a local-first, AI-native research environment for corpus linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis. It lets a linguist go from raw texts and images to publication-ready quantitative and qualitative analysis without writing a line of code, without sending unpublished data to a third-party server unless they explicitly choose to, and without losing the methodological transparency that peer review demands. The desktop application bundles a FastAPI engine, a Tauri 2 shell, and an installable PWA, supporting English and Arabic text analysis, vision pipelines for multimodal discourse, and a pluggable AI assistant that can connect to local (Ollama, LM Studio) or remote (OpenAI, Anthropic) model providers.
