What it does

Hunting for APIs, writing scripts, worrying about permission. It's a part‑time job. Cloud models are powerful but risky; local models are safe but weak. * You can ask it to handle far more, the examples above are just the start. On a message, notification, or trigger, the AI acts proactively. PlugClaw runs a secure, privacy hardened Android system ( PlugOS ) with an AI agent that uses apps like a person – opening browsers, filling forms, sending messages. PlugClaw comes preloaded with dozens of frontier and confidential AI models. Choose the best model for the task, or bring your own API key (BYOK). PlugClaw keeps getting better.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.

If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
