Show HN: Eigin. Local-first and no-shell personal AI for iOS
github.comHey HN, we're Daniel and Therkel and we're working on Eigin, a personal agent built to be private, safe and under your control.
What makes Eigin different from the mainstream personal agents is it's local-first architecture (chats, memory, agent runtime on your device), closed-set tool model (fixed set of tools, permissions in execution path) and it being open source under AGPL.
Personal agents are exciting as an emerging category. We believe that technology this personal should belong to the people using it. More info at eigin.ai
It's in open beta, and we'd be very happy to hear your thoughts.
Local-first chats, memory and runtime on the device, plus a closed set of tools with permissions in the execution path, is the right starting point for a personal agent. "Technology this personal should belong to the people using it" is very close to what we call Human-Machine Intelligence in POND: the most personal layer should live on a node the person owns, and the model should be replaceable.
