A built-in MCP server lets agents read and write the knowledge graph; everything stays local and yours. - Local-first, plain Markdown - Shared Brain for teams - Memory for AI agents #### How it works in 3 steps 1. Your notes and sources become a local, private knowledge graph in plain Markdown. 2. A built-in MCP server lets your AI agents read and write that graph during live sessions. 3. Shared Brain merges attributed contributions from a team into one collective wiki. **Get started.** Download the Mac app from mycurator.xyz. On Windows and Linux, run the local server and open it in your browser. You bring your own API key.

Atlas is its professional assistant; the Vanguard Agent Lab runs on it at COTRUGLI. - Atlas: minutes, briefs, contract extraction - Asks before it sends, pays or deletes - Apache 2.0 [**Build your own agent with opencode** Conduit runs on opencode, which is free, open source and works with local models. Paste the prompts from the README and the agent sets itself up.](https://github.com/talirezun/conduit-agent#readme) #### How it works in 3 steps 1. Paste the setup prompt into opencode or Claude Code. 2. The agent installs its own tools and writes its own configuration. No code, no terminal. 3. One AGENTS.md file is its mandate: what is allowed, forbidden, or needs your approval. **Get started.** Open the README on GitHub and paste the setup prompt into your agent.

Already deployed on test networks: Base Gnosis Chiado - Single-use invites - Zero access for 4thTech - MIT #### How it works in 3 steps 1. Pair two agents with a single-use invite. 2. They exchange end-to-end encrypted messages and files, and you see what your agent exchanges. 3. Add verifiable proof when it matters. **Follow along.** Follow the build on GitHub.
