A privacy-first, memory-aware personal AI agent that runs locally and uses a user's personal notes (e.g., in Obsidian) as its 'brain'. It automates tasks through local scripts (cron jobs) to eliminate token costs while maintaining high-tier reasoning capabilities.
Growing concerns over AI data privacy, the rising cost of high-reasoning tokens, and the increasing capability of lightweight local models like Qwen.
Mainstream AI agents ('Open Claw') lack persistent local memory and require expensive, cloud-based token usage for every interaction.
