A private, collaborative AI assistant that works for you. Built with local models and AT Protocol. tiles.run
Our talk from Local-First Conf 2026 is now available online. We share how Tiles is building a private, collaborative AI assistant that runs on your own devices. It uses a peer-to-peer architecture for syncing and the AT Protocol as its social layer. Watch the full talk here: youtu.be/WY_M7TMQ8do

Local-First Conf@localfirstconf.com · 3w agoLast talk before coffee ”Tiles: Own your AI with local models and open protocols“ @ankeshbharti.com shares from his own experience the tradeoffs while combining local models with decentralized identity, peer-to-peer encrypted sync, and AT Protocol based collaboration.
Tiles has a Caldir plugin now. Why run the harness in the cloud when you can run everything entirely on-device! Install the plugin: www.tiles.run/plugins/caldir Demo: chat.tiles.run/YXQ6Ly9kaWQ6... Plaintext go brrr! Thanks to @t4t5.com for building such a great calendar CLI!

We figured out how to exit Tiles CLI properly and wrote a deep technical dive into standard streams, pipes, Unix processes, how system signals behave with parent processes, blocking UI I/O, and how async Rust helped fix it: www.tiles.run/blog/control...
