Real code. Real tests. Real systems.
We build local-first AI tools, Rust agent infrastructure and controlled computer automation. Our public work shows what was tested, what failed and what remains experimental.
| Question | Practical resource |
|---|---|
| Can my PC run a local AI model? | Free RAM/VRAM readiness check — browser-only estimate, no upload |
| How do I start a local LLM on Windows? | Windows setup guide — runtime, model fit and verification |
| Why does an AI agent say “done” when the work isn't finished? | Completion-check guide — independent read-back and honest failure handling |
| How can AI use a computer without unlimited access? | Permission and verification guide |
| How can I inspect Windows programs' internet connections? | Built-in Windows network checks |
All practical guides · Engineering Journal · Evidence-backed use cases
- SC Node — an open-source Rust agent harness in experimental public alpha. Read the safety boundaries before using it on real systems.
- ARKTOR — local-first AI control and execution across supported computers and models. Product maturity and deployment readiness vary by module.
- ARKTOR Go — portable, permission-scoped Windows assistance in alpha; not a claim of general public release.
- SC Agent Lab — specific tests, measured outcomes and unfinished work.
- Radar Tools — focused hardware, model, privacy and market-intelligence tools with individual maturity disclosures.
We contribute to the wider Rust ecosystem and publish relevant source material where it is safe and useful. A successful lab test is not a guarantee of production readiness.
