I've been making digital agents since the GPT-3 API came out. Optionally fully local, fully voiced, animated, all of that. Even co-ran a VC funded company making agents, before a hostile takeover screwed it all up. The writing has been on the wall for years about where this was headed.

I have been using and evolving my own personal agent for years but the difference is that models in the last year have suddenly become way more viable. Both frontier and local models. I had been holding back releasing my agents because the appetite has just not been there, and I was worried about large companies like X ripping off my work, while I was still focused on getting things like security and privacy right before releasing my agent kit.

It's been great seeing claws out in the wild delighting people, makes me think the time is finally right to release my agent kit and let people see what a real personal digital agent looks like in terms of presentation, utility and security. Claws are still thinking too small.
