Notes
Why this app exists, the thinking behind the parts of it that are odd on purpose, and what changed in each release.
- Essay Why I built an AI that stays on my computer DT Life began with a simple question: what could you tell an AI if you knew your words never left the room?
- Essay I was tired of explaining myself to AI again and again A useful assistant should remember the context you choose to keep without building a secret profile behind your back.
- Essay The reply I avoided for three days took three minutes DT Life reads the conversation already on your screen, drafts in context and leaves the decision to send with you.
- Essay Where did my entire day go? The Rhythm view replaces an unreliable memory of the workday with a private, adjustable record from your own computer.
- Essay I wanted a diary, but I never remembered to write one DT Life turns the real material of a day into a private, searchable diary without inventing a life that did not happen.
- Essay An assistant that remembers to ask how it went A small follow-up after an interview, trip, or difficult conversation can make an assistant feel continuous instead of disposable.
- Essay My meeting starts in ten minutes—and I’ve forgotten everything Meeting preparation is most useful in the brief moment when the calendar warning arrives and your mind is still somewhere else.
- Essay I had the answer somewhere in 200 documents A private document library turns the question ‘where did I read that?’ into an answer that still points back to its source.
- Essay The document was private, but I still needed it translated Local document translation is for the moment when understanding the text matters, but uploading it to an online service is not acceptable.
- Essay Talking was easier than typing Offline dictation and spoken replies make the companion useful when a keyboard is inconvenient, tiring, or simply the wrong interface.
- Essay One résumé should not be sent to fifty different jobs A truthful work history can stay the same while each application tells the part of that history a particular employer needs to see.
- Essay The job search became a second full-time job A local application board keeps roles, next steps, interview rounds and tailored documents together when the search becomes hard to hold in your head.
- Essay I asked my computer what was on my screen An on-demand screen glance lets the local companion explain the visible window without creating a screenshot archive.
- Release Explain like I'm 5, without sending the page anywhere The browser extension explains an article's opening in plain language on your own PC—and refuses when it cannot find an article.
- Essay Can you really delete what an AI knows about you? Local storage is only meaningful ownership when a person can inspect, correct and forget the memories built from it.
- Essay What happens to your AI companion when your computer dies? A private companion should live on your machine without being trapped there when the machine fails.
- Essay What happens if the company disappears? Your companion should not need a company server to remember you, while the limits of an annual licence should stay explicit.
- Essay I pulled out the network cable to see what would break An offline claim is useful only when the test, the exceptions, and the setup it requires are stated plainly.
- Essay The AI that knows when to leave me alone A local companion has to yield both your attention and your computer when the work belongs to something else.
- Essay A digital companion should feel like someone, not a search box Continuity, voice, and a visible character can make an assistant feel present without pretending the model is a person.
