yours — no telemetry
Why it's different

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.

Them: one chatbot · SAM: a team that runs the job

👁️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).

Them: text only · SAM: eyes on your world

🔒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.

Them: your data trains their model · SAM: your data stays yours

🖐️It actually does things

Searches the web, reads your files, drafts email, pushes code, opens PRs, plays music — with an ask-first safety gate.

Them: gives you text to copy · SAM: does the task

💸Free, on 30 rotating brains

Runs on free models (NVIDIA, Groq, Cerebras, Mistral…) that auto-rotate, so you never hit a limit or a bill.

Them: £20/mo · SAM: £0, and it never goes dark

🌅It reaches out first

A morning brief and proactive nudges. SAM messages you — the weather, what's due, what needs a follow-up.

Them: waits for a prompt · SAM: gets ahead of your day
148 tools · 78 agents · 25 skills — and counting

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.
