What it is
An open-source agent that runs on your machine, designed to work with local models as readily as hosted ones.
Who it is for
Private work, and anyone who wants an agent that does not require a cloud account.
Why we would pick it
Built by a company that uses it internally, and it treats local models as first-class rather than an afterthought.
What to watch
Local models are weaker at multi-step tool use. Expect to spend more time correcting it.
