Building Basil (https://basilai.app), a privacy-first AI executive assistant / note taker. Everything is on-device: transcription, summarization, etc. So nothing is shared with any model provider.

Lately the interesting work has been less about raw transcription and more about making the output actually useful: recurring workflows, follow-ups, and personalized summaries that fit how someone runs their day. We are also pushing more toward reliable agent automation instead of one-off chat. And dealing with all the iOS limitations on background work.

Still early.
