Local Link makes AI agents portable. Pick the harness that runs your agent, the model it thinks with and the machine it runs on, and swap any of them with one command. Your agent's files, memory, settings and connections come along.
Your own AI, running on your computer, that you text from your phone. It answers only you, remembers what you told it, and keeps working while you're away. It runs in a sandbox, so it can change only its own folders.
