Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An MIT-licensed desktop AI assistant for macOS, Windows, and Linux, presented as running local models or cloud models with your own key.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: People who want local AI with inspectable tool actions
Worth noticing: Its example request ends with five separate outcomes, including a booking failure and an email withheld pending approval.

Field notes

The workflow illustration breaks a sample request into five tracked demands rather than returning a single undifferentiated completion. It shows a room-booking attempt failing with a calendar fault code, an email withheld for approval, and an open item alongside completed work. The site says local and optional cloud models share the same tools and safety rules, and links to installation instructions for three desktop platforms.
