Local-First Monolithic Agent
An AI agent architecture paradigm in which a single agent with full tool-calling capability runs in the developer's local environment. Inference and tool calls are performed locally, data does not leave the machine, and context and memory are stored in the local file system rather than relying on cloud-based multi-agent orchestration.
