CLUSTER ASSISTANT-DESKTOP-FILES-2 · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-25
Local desktop AI assistants
This cluster consists of desktop AI assistants that run locally, often with the user's own models, to organize files, plan tasks, and run scheduled actions via extensible tools while keeping data offline. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from: there are zero dated entries before the index start, so it either predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, clawmuse leads with 2 stars, followed by Gleam with 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
