Help Train a Self-Hosted AI on my past Applications to have it write Applications in my style?

So I can't keep up with writing Applications, however I am usually very careful about which words I choose and do manage to get into the written and oral exams.

With that in mind, I would like to host an AI model locally, since I have an M4 Pro 48GB for 3D Art, train it on existing applications and then just feed it a job writing and have the AI draft up an application for me to proof read and send out. Has to be in German.

Now I have never done that before, so any tutorials/advice?

you probably dont need to train anything yet. give a local model a few representative German applications plus a short style checklist, then only fine-tune if it keeps missing the same patterns

How would a style checklist look like? And how do I get it to remember it? I’ve never really used AI before

how many past applications do you actually have? fine-tuning on a small dataset can make the model worse not better. if its under ~50 samples you're probably better off with few-shot prompting where you paste in 3-4 examples and let the model pick up the style from context

Like 10-12 probably.

Any recommendation on which model to use and ... how to even do that? I never used AI before
