If you had access to a truly local AI agent, what would you want it to do? And how much would you pay for it?

Imagine an AI assistant that runs entirely on your own PC.

No cloud dependency. No sending your data to external servers. Just a local agent that can understand your requests and actually interact with your computer.

For example, it could:

  • Automate repetitive tasks.
  • Control apps and your desktop.
  • Search the web when needed.
  • Manage files and folders.
  • Write code or help debug projects.
  • Summarize documents and emails.
  • Work through voice commands.
  • Chain together complex workflows.

I'm curious what people actually want from something like this.

Questions:

  • What would be your #1 use case?
  • What features would make it genuinely useful for you?
  • What would be a deal-breaker?
  • Would you prefer a one-time purchase or a subscription?
  • Realistically, how much would you be willing to pay per month (or as a lifetime license)?

I'd love to hear honest opinions. I'm especially interested in answers from developers, power users, and people who care about privacy.

I'm building a local AI desktop assistant from scratch in Go

Hi everyone.

I've started building a new project called ARI.

The goal isn't another ChatGPT wrapper.

The vision is a desktop AI assistant that can:

• control the computer
• run local models
• remember context
• execute tasks
• stay fast and private

The stack currently includes:

• Go
• Wails v3
• llama.cpp
• whisper.cpp
• native desktop UI

I'd love to share progress as development continues.
