puremetrics··on An AI meeting recorder that sees and hears everything
I wanted the simplest possible AI meeting recorder that sees and hears your meetings, workflows etc. No cloud. No account. No subscription.

Lumi is a small CLI that uses the features already built into macOS.

Everything stays on your Mac. Your recordings never leave your machine unless you choose to.

It’s fully open source, so you can inspect exactly what it’s doing instead of trusting a black box.

Simply run “lumi record start” once.

If you’re looking for a low key, private alternative to cloud meeting recorders, check out lumi. I’d love your feedback.

great point.
puremetrics··on A local search engine for AI Agents
Here’s a tool you guys might find useful. A local search engine for your private knowledge bases, wikis, logs, documentation, and complex codebases.

Instead of stuffing raw documents into every call, you index your data once and query it with simple prompts like “how does X work?” to get grounded, cited answers from your own data. Your main agent can also delegate low-level RAG questions to a smaller local model for token efficiency, while a stronger frontier model handles higher-level reasoning.

That makes it a good fit for setups that pair a local model such as Gemma 4 with a more capable orchestration model. Tokens go down, latency improves, and the whole system becomes more efficient. qi can also run fully offline, so you keep full control over your data, models, and infrastructure.

You can plug in whatever model stack you prefer, whether that is Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, MLX, or cloud APIs, which makes it easy to balance cost, speed, and quality. It also integrates cleanly into agent workflows, including as a Claude Code plugin, so SOTA models can delegate retrieval and lightweight knowledge queries instead of wasting context.
