Design Philosophy

Local-First Design

Understand why we prioritize local execution and how it benefits your developer workflow and data security.

The "Local-First" approach is more than just a deployment option—it's a fundamental design principle that affects everything from architecture to performance. By bringing the automation engine to your data, rather than sending your data to the engine, we eliminate latency, reduce security risks, and give you absolute control.

Key Advantages

Zero Latency

No round-trips to cloud servers for logic processing. Local execution is as fast as your hardware allows.

Air-Gapped Potential

Can be configured to run in completely offline environments for high-security applications.

No Subscription Limits

You aren't charged per task or per workflow. Your hardware is the only limit.

The "Laptop-Cloud" Spectrum

Our architecture is portable across your entire development lifecycle.

DevelopmentRun on your laptop while building workflows.
TestingSpin up isolated instances in CI/CD pipelines.
ProductionDeploy to your private VPC or on-prem servers.

Technical Implementation

Native CLI

Manage your local instance, check logs, and run tests directly from your terminal.

Local Vectors

Document embeddings are stored in a local MongoDB instance, not a cloud vector DB.

File Storage

Execution artifacts and logs are written directly to your local filesystem.

Embrace Data Sovereignty

Local-first design isn't just about technical constraints—it's about freedom. Freedom from subscription fatigue, freedom from vendor lock-in, and freedom to control your own intelligent infrastructure.
