AI Analysis

●●●BangerZero to OneBold Bet

Local screen-watching agent when every competitor sends your data to the cloud.

Strengths

•Genuinely inverts cloud-AI assumption — nothing leaves your device, even offline.
•Specific model choices (Qwen3.6 35B via llama.cpp) with real performance numbers.
•Contextual awareness from screen-watching enables anticipatory assistance.

Weaknesses

•Heavy hardware requirements (24GB+ RAM) limit accessibility significantly.
•English-only support and no plugin system yet limits extensibility.

Post Description

wavecat is a fully local personal agent that watches your screen.

It develops a rich understanding of your needs and goals by constantly viewing your activity. Don't worry, none of your personal data ever leaves your computer since all the models run locally.

I think it's something cool to show a feature that local agent systems can do that cloud systems can't. If you have a beefy Apple Silicon Mac or a nice GPU, you should be able to run it!

SkillForge – Turn Screen Recordings into Agent-Ready Skills

SkillForge turns the old 'show, don't tell' trick into code: record a task, and their AI teases clicks, keystrokes and navigation out of pixels into a stepwise skill file you can edit and export. The ability to trim video, rewrite steps via AI, and output a SKILL.md for agent frameworks is a practical, opinionated workflow that could shortcut lots of brittle RPA scripting — my main questions are reliability across dynamic UIs and privacy/recording controls, but the product direction is smart and tangible.
