About

SAM is a free, private team of AI agents that runs on your own machine. It routes each request to the cheapest brain that fits (your local model first), caches repeat answers, indexes the folders you choose, and can be summoned system-wide with a hotkey. No subscription — runs on free cloud AI tiers by default, or 100% offline on Ollama.
