"ComputerX harnesses proprietary AI models" can't wait to install a random software that sends screenshots of my desktop to a random website/LLM model.

Hi, founder of ComputerX here!

We understand your concerns! To clarify, all screenshots are stored locally in your SQLite database to ensure privacy and security.

If you choose to use commercial models like OpenAI or Anthropic via us, your screenshots will be sent to their servers for processing. However, we also provide a variety of open-source models and even offer the option to run LLMs entirely on your local machine to keep everything private.

If you have any privacy concerns, I'd be happy to listen. Feel free to schedule a quick call with us: https://scheduler.zoom.us/computerx/meet-with-computerx-team.

I am not sure how this will be monetized, but the FAQ at the bottom says it is free for Beta users, and that all data is kept encrypted locally on your own computer. Also, this works for more than just the browser. Interesting.

Yes, during the Beta, it's completely free. We're exploring different monetization models, but privacy and local-first processing will remain core principles.
