What it does

A local-first pipeline automation app for developers powered by AI, running natively on your machine. Think of it as a local Zapier or n8n, built specifically for developers who want to chain shell commands, AI calls, HTTP requests, and file operations into reusable pipelines then trigger them on a schedule, on a file change, or via webhook.

We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
