Bits
Bits is an open-source personal agent that runs locally, stores data in plain files, and generates usable interfaces.
Bits is an open-source, local-first personal agent designed to operate continuously on a user's computer. The system stores user data in plain files to maintain memory and context. When prompted, it processes information and delivers answers using interactive interfaces. Because it operates locally, it keeps user data on the host machine. The project is tailored for individuals seeking a private, self-hosted assistant for daily tasks.
