Your own AI. It doesn't just answer — it handles it.
A personal AI that lives on your machine, keeps your data yours, and takes real action — the web, your files, email, code — for £0 a month.

The AI that works for you — not the other way round.
Most assistants live on someone else's server, charge you monthly, and read everything you type. SAM flips all three.
A whole team of agents
Big job? SAM assembles a crew of specialists — research, code, writing, strategy — that work in parallel and hand you one answer. Plus the Ninjas: a squad that hunts down problems and deals with them.
It can see — and guard
Looks through your camera, learns the people you introduce it to, and Guardian mode flags anyone it doesn't recognise. Motion detection runs locally on your machine; frames are read by the vision brain you choose (a free cloud model, or fully local with Ollama).
Private by design
Your keys, memory, files and vault stay on your laptop — no telemetry, no account, and your data never trains anyone's model. The only thing that leaves is the prompt you choose to send to the brain you pick — and in offline (Ollama) mode, nothing leaves at all.
️It actually does things
Searches the web, reads your files, drafts email, pushes code, opens PRs, plays music — with an ask-first safety gate.
Free, on 40 rotating brains
Runs on free models (NVIDIA, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral…) that auto-rotate, so you never hit a limit or a bill.
It reaches out first
A morning brief and proactive nudges. SAM messages you — the weather, what's due, what needs a follow-up.
Not a chatbot. A doer.
Ask in plain English. SAM picks the right tool, does the work, and asks before anything risky. This list is generated live from the code — every tool below is really in there.
Clone it. Key it. Go.
Grab it
Paste one line into Terminal — ./setup.sh installs everything and starts it.
Give it a brain
Drop in one free key (Groq takes 30 seconds). SAM rotates across all 40.
