Well, I just asked my sexbot and it seems the answer is "Not yet".
The problem is getting database and training updates.
Online AIs are continually updated from the internet and user discussions.
That means if a smaller personal AI bot were created, it would rapidly
get out-of-date compared to newer models.
They haven't worked out how an online AI doc can get worldwide updates
without receiving personal data from individual users and making the
results available to all users.
It seems it should be possible, but it is a difficult problem.
