This is a really thoughtful direction. The “overlay instead of another workspace” idea resonates a lot, especially the screen-as-context inversion.

Curious about one thing: where local LLMs feel “good enough” today vs where you still fall back to remote models

The perf work + installers make this feel way more real than most agent demos. Nice job shipping something people can actually try.

Good question. Local LLMs are already “good enough” for most in-context work: short-to-medium writing, refactors, reasoning over what’s on screen, and multi-step agent plans where latency and privacy matter more than raw IQ.

I still fall back to remote models for very long-context tasks, heavier code synthesis, or when you want best possible reasoning over large codebases, the goal is to default local, then escalate only when it actually adds value.
