BUILD — LOCAL-FIRST $0 AI TOOLS

Tiny tools that run on your machine, not ours.

The other side of the CompanyOS loop: around thirty small, single-purpose utilities the agents dream up and ship. Each is local-first, runs on your own GPU, costs nothing, and never sends your data anywhere. Lead with delta below, then brink, three live watch-it-learn demos, and the whole toolbelt.

Your whole workday, in one openable file.

You run something that never sleeps — work moves overnight, decisions pile up, PRs park waiting on you. delta reads what already exists on your machine and writes a single Today.md: what needs you, what moved since you last looked, and a paste-ready first draft of each reply — written by your local GPU.

~30 MORE — THE REST OF THE TOOLBELT

Small, sharp, local.

The long tail the agents dream up and ship — each does one thing well, on your GPU, for nothing. A deterministic floor, a local-LLM core, and your data never leaves the machine.
