I always think the best company to own an alway-on agent should be Apple, who owns the platform and is more privacy-focused. I hope they catch up and eventually eliminate others.

I think it shouldn't be tied to a single platform. https://blackbear.app. Local first, end to end encrypted, agents are sandboxed inside the application. Bring your own models.

I personally have very few "always on" things, because I don't think agents are at the point where they produce good enough work on their own to really justify it, but it's easy enough to add this so screw it, we'll see what the next two weeks brings.

They are the only company I would trust with this kind of personal information because they make a lot of money selling hardware. The incentives line up for them to support privacy.

I agree in spirit. But I’m also most worried about prompt injection attacks given the agent had access to all my stuff, and it seems frontier labs will be best equipt to handle prevention of that.
