Avery

Live

Describes an agent in plain English and it builds a deterministic version that runs locally on your own hardware instead of a metered cloud API, for privacy-conscious teams that can't send sensitive work to the cloud.

What to know▼
How it works
You describe an agent in one plain sentence, and Avery builds a deterministic version of it that runs on your own hardware rather than a metered public cloud, with no code required.
What's different
Runs locally and deterministically instead of routing through a per-token cloud API, aimed at avoiding cost, privacy, and lock-in problems of typical agentic AI projects.
Best for
Teams that want private, auditable automation they own outright, without sending sensitive work to a cloud API.

Aiden

Live

A physical open-source USB device that watches your screen and can operate your phone or computer by voice, entirely offline with zero data collection. Built for makers and privacy-focused tinkerers.

Works offlineOpen sourceSelf-hosted
What to know▼
How it works
A physical USB device that plugs into any phone or computer, watches the screen over HDMI, and sends taps and keystrokes over USB HID to operate real apps the same way a person would — no app install, jailbreak, developer mode, or API required. It captures the screen, sends it to an AI model of your choice, decides the next action, and repeats until the task is done; voice mode runs on-device.
What's different
Works one layer below software integrations, so it can operate any app you can see and tap, including ones with no API or accessibility layer.
Best for
Makers and privacy-focused users who want to automate phone or computer tasks entirely offline without granting an app API access.

What to know▼
How it works
An open-source, local-first memory layer for AI coding agents, with an MCP-powered task manager for tracking agentic workflows.
What's different
Runs locally rather than storing agent memory in the cloud, and is built specifically around MCP for AI code editors.
Best for
Developers building or using AI coding agents who want persistent, local memory and task tracking instead of ephemeral context.

AgentOp

Live

Build AI agents entirely in the browser using local open-weight models over WebGPU, no install, no API key, no server, then export the whole thing as a single standalone HTML file. A developer tool for writing agent logic in Python.

Nothing to installWorks offlineCan export my data
What to know▼
How it works
Lets you build AI agents that run entirely in the browser: open models (Llama, Qwen, Gemma, Phi, DeepSeek) load locally via WebGPU, agent logic is written in Python running through Pyodide, and the whole thing exports as a single standalone HTML file.
What's different
No install, server or API key needed for the local models — prompts and data never leave the tab — and you can optionally bring your own OpenAI/Claude key, encrypted client-side.
Pricing
Free to start.
Best for
Developers who want to write and distribute browser-based AI agents without server infrastructure.

Best for
Small businesses in the Austin area that want AI agents deployed and managed for them rather than built in-house.
Watch out
This is a done-for-you agency service, not self-serve software.
