Local AI
at Your Desk

SMILE Agent Studio is a local-first AI agent workspace, 24/7 autonomous Bots, and a polyglot data science IDE. Run nine domain-specialist agents, scheduled and event-driven bot routines, and interactive notebooks directly against the files, databases, and repositories on your machine.

Who it is for

The builders and teams who run AI locally

Indie hackers & AI-native startups

Operate like a 10-person company from one desktop. Delegate product discovery to Steve, architecture to Ada, Java and Python implementation to James and Guido, growth to Julien, outbound sales to Mike, and coordination to Frank—backed by 24/7 scheduled bots.

Regulated data science & quant teams

Profile datasets, engineer features, run DuckDB SQL, and train models with Clair on confidential financial, healthcare, or customer tables that can never be uploaded to a multi-tenant cloud notebook or SaaS AutoML wrapper.

JVM & polyglot engineering teams

Write and refactor Java, Scala, Kotlin, and Python side by side in one workspace. Agents read your real source tree, inspect live kernel variables, run Gradle/sbt/pytest builds, and package verified .sml and .onnx artifacts for production.

Why SMILE excels at local AI

Specialist agents, 24/7 autonomous bots, and notebooks in one local runtime

  • Nine coordinated domain specialists Instead of one generic chat prompt, Agent Studio gives you nine specialized personas—Ada (Architect), James (Java), Guido (Python), Clair (Data Science), Steve (Product), Julien (Evangelist), Mike (Sales), Frank (Chief of Staff), and Chuck (Desktop GUI operator)—who delegate work to each other via @name and did:aid: handoffs.
  • 24/7 autonomous Bots (powered by Agent Hub) Turn any agent persona into an always-on background bot in bots.json, executed by the local Agent Hub service (smile hub). Trigger skills, prompts, or tools on POSIX cron schedules, interval timers, incoming emails, calendar events, or webhooks—so prospecting, data checks, and daily briefings run while you sleep.
  • Direct local filesystem, database & shell execution Agents and bots do not work in an isolated cloud sandbox. With your permission, they read and edit local repositories, query in-memory Datasets and DuckDB tables, run terminal builds, and inspect live notebook variables without shipping proprietary datasets off your machine.
  • Polyglot data science IDE & instant model serving Run Java (JShell), Python, Scala, and Kotlin notebooks in a single editor with built-in Swing and Vega-Lite visualizations. Fit a model in a notebook or with Clair, export a clean .sml or .onnx file, and launch a local REST inference server with one click.
  • Open extensibility & durable local memory Drop markdown skills into SKILL.md, wire external tools through MCP.json and LSP servers, set project guardrails in AGENTS.md / SMILE.md, and keep structured daily logs and long-term facts in .smile/memory/ on your own disk.
  • Bring your own LLM—or run 100% offline with SMILE Serve Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or xAI with your own API keys, or point Agent Studio at a local smile-serve or Ollama endpoint so every prompt, tool call, and token stays inside your local network.

The 9-agent specialist roster

A complete technical and commercial team on your machine

Every seat of SMILE Agent Studio includes all nine built-in specialists. Call any agent directly, let them hand artifacts to peers under docs/, or run them as 24/7 autonomous bots via Agent Hub:

Agent Role & Domain Primary Tools & Deliverables Example Autonomous Bot Routine
Clair (@clair) Data Scientist & ML Engineer Dataset profiling, DuckDB SQL, feature engineering, SMILE model fitting, HPO, Vega-Lite charts, decks & posters. Nightly data drift & anomaly sweep on new Parquet partitions; exports updated .sml model.
Ada (@ada) Software Architect System design, ADRs, NFR & security patterns, AWS/CI/CD specs, test strategy, and polyglot implementation. Triggered on PR webhook or spec update to review architectural boundaries and compliance controls.
James (@james) Java & JVM Engineer Java 25 / Scala / Kotlin implementation, SMILE Core & Serve pipelines, Gradle/sbt builds, JUnit suites, LSP refactoring. Scheduled build-and-test verification or automated dependency and CVE triage.
Guido (@guido) Python Scientific Engineer NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, scikit-learn workflows, ONNX export, pytest suites, and Python CLI packaging. Automated data ingestion and Python-to-ONNX pipeline validation on incoming datasets.
Steve (@steve) Product Manager User research synthesis, problem validation, competitor analysis, PRDs, scope cutting, and roadmap prioritization. Weekly synthesis of user feedback emails and issue trackers into prioritized PRD updates.
Julien (@julien) Developer & Product Evangelist Positioning (`WEDGE.md`, `ICP.md`), brand storytelling, content strategy, launch marketing, and social writing. Drafts release changelogs and technical launch posts when new git tags or milestones land.
Mike (@mike) Founder-Led B2B Sales Operator Prospect discovery, lead enrichment, signal-based email drafting, pipeline hygiene, and meeting prep briefs. Morning outbound sweep and pre-meeting account dossiers triggered 30 minutes before calendar events.
Frank (@frank) Chief of Staff Cross-agent alignment, priority triage, inbox/calendar synthesis, daily recaps, and weekly executive briefings. End-of-day memory consolidation (`daily-recap`) and Monday morning cross-agent status rollup (`weekly-briefing`).
Chuck (@chuck) Desktop GUI Operator Screenshot grounding, native mouse & keyboard automation across desktop apps, dialogs, and legacy UIs with no CLI. Scheduled UI regression checks or automated form/report extraction from desktop-only applications.

Architecture comparison

SMILE Agent Studio vs. Cloud Copilots & SaaS AutoML

Most AI tools force a choice between a code editor plugin, a cloud data notebook, or a chat window. Agent Studio unifies all three on your own hardware:

Capability Cloud Coding Copilots SaaS Notebooks & AutoML SMILE Agent Studio
Data & Code Residency Local files, but limited to code snippets; blind to datasets and model state. Requires uploading proprietary CSV/Parquet tables into a vendor cloud bucket. 100% local workspace. Code, datasets, DuckDB tables, and .smile/memory/ stay on your disk.
Polyglot & ML Depth Text completion only; no integrated notebook kernel or statistical engine. Python-only notebooks; models locked behind proprietary cloud endpoints. Java, Python, Scala, Kotlin & SQL notebooks plus native SMILE ML, ONNX, and one-click Serve preview.
Agent Specialization Single generic coding assistant. Single data-query chatbot. 9 built-in specialists spanning ML, Java, Python, Architecture, Product, Growth, Sales, Ops, and GUI automation.
Autonomous Background Work Interactive only—stops when you close the prompt. Scheduled notebook cells only. 24/7 autonomous Bots (powered by Agent Hub) triggered by cron timers, incoming emails, calendar events, and webhooks.
Model & IP Ownership Code is yours; no model artifact pipeline. Often tied to vendor hosting or per-prediction cloud fees. 100% yours. Export standard .sml and .onnx artifacts with zero royalties or disclosure.
