CLUSTER CHAT-DESKTOP-FIRST · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-14
Local-first desktop AI workbenches
This cluster comprises local-first desktop AI workbenches that handle chat, document Q&A, coding, and agent tasks entirely on-device, with data stored locally. The dated history before the index start is too thin (only one dated entry) to infer a trend shape. Among members with activity signals, OmniStudio leads with 183 stars, followed by CAgent (10 stars) and DSH-closerAI (3 stars).
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 17 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
