AI tools built for real work.
SAM, CLIO, and ALICE form a complete AI ecosystem for macOS and Linux. Native apps, terminal agents, and local image & audio generation - all open source, private, and designed to work the way you do.
Your Mac's AI assistant.
SAM is a native macOS app that brings AI into your daily life. Ask questions, get research done, draft documents, plan trips, manage budgets, or kick off autonomous tasks - all from a polished chat interface that lives on your Mac.
Run completely offline with local MLX or GGUF models, or connect to OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, or Google Gemini. SAM remembers your conversations, learns your preferences through personalities and mini-prompts, and can reach the web, read your documents, and work hands-free with voice. Access it from any device on your network with SAM Web.
Your AI development agent.
Describe the work. CLIO reads your code, makes changes, runs tests, and commits - then iterates until it's done. Press any key to redirect it mid-task. It remembers what it learned last session and picks up exactly where you left off.
Terminal-native, zero dependencies. Runs on anything from a Raspberry Pi to an M4 Mac. Works locally, over SSH, or across an entire fleet in parallel.
Unlimited image & audio generation.
ALICE runs Stable Diffusion and audio generation models locally on your Mac or Linux machine. No subscription, no cloud upload, no per-image or per-track cost. Generate as much as you want - everything stays on your hardware.
Text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-audio with Stable Audio and MiniMax Music, LoRA support, a private gallery, and a built-in model marketplace for CivitAI and HuggingFace. Real-time GPU dashboard. Integrates with SAM, or run it standalone via web interface or API.
Built for privacy and real work.
Your data stays local
Run everything offline with local models. Only connect to cloud providers when you choose. Nothing leaves your machine unless you decide it should.
Understands your documents
Import PDFs, Word docs, text files, and images. SAM indexes them semantically so you can ask questions, find information, and reference your own materials in any conversation.
Works anywhere you code
CLIO runs on everything from a pocket-sized Linux device to a remote server over SSH. Bring AI to your terminal for refactoring, code generation, and problem-solving.
Remember everything
SAM builds semantic memory across conversations. CLIO recalls context across sessions. Link documents and past work to get smarter responses every time.
Full AI art platform
ALICE gives you a generation studio, private gallery, model marketplace, and admin dashboard. Text-to-image, img2img, LoRA, audio - all local.
Your choice of AI
Run local models for complete privacy, or connect to the cloud providers you already use. All three tools work with the same providers - switch anytime.
The Unbroken Method.
SAM and CLIO embody a systematic approach to AI collaboration. The Unbroken Method maintains continuous context, demands complete ownership, and learns from documented failures.
This methodology works in any AI tool - from CLIO to GitHub Copilot to Cursor. It's language-agnostic, tool-agnostic, and domain-agnostic.
The secret to successful AI collaboration isn't waiting for smarter models. It's implementing better methodology.
Never break the conversation. Maintain momentum through checkpoints.
If you find a bug, fix it. No "out of scope."
Read code before changing it. Never assume -- verify.
Fix problems, not symptoms.
No partial solutions. Finish what you start.
Document everything for the next session.
Document mistakes to prevent repeats.
