YOUR PERSONAL AGENT / ASX

COMPANIONAT-C01

An agent of your own.

A pair programmer who picks up where you left off. A daily assistant that knows how you work. Carry its software, tools, and memory with you. Plug in, ask for what you need, and give your next idea some company.

Carries: Agent runtime · tools · persistent memory
Vault: 1 TB encrypted storage target
Together: COMPANION + VECTOR · fully local inference

COMPANION + VECTOR
Your companion. Entirely on your machine.

Agent and OS concept. ALTO would run lighter local models; VECTOR adds dedicated compute. Cloud use would be opt-in. This page previews the configuration, without running an agent or changing your computer.

THE PLEASURE IS IN THE DETAILS.

Worth making
time for.

A favourite tool changes how you feel about the work. Every detail of ALTO begins with that belief.

Keep it in sight.

For the desk you love coming back to.
And the ideas that begin there.
