AI agents

RunLocal AI

RunLocal’s AI agent is specialized in inference optimization and hardware acceleration for platforms like Nvidia Orin/Thor and Qualcomm. Under the hood, our agentic environment facilitates reliable hardware-in-the-loop experimentation and continuous learning. It tracks every experiment and continuously refines experimentation data into an understanding of what drives performance on your target hardware. This environment means that a generic coding agent (e.g. Codex or Claude Code) can experiment

Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

Replicas

match 77

Replicas is a background coding agent that allows you to delegate tasks to Claude Code or Codex from Slack, Linear, GitHub, and more. Each task works inside of a sandboxed virtual machine, allowing teams to heavily parallelize work and burn through tickets. Replicas agents output higher quality PRs via feedback loops - each task automatically is notified and fixes CI failures and reads all code reviews. With Environments, engineering teams can configure agents to run their entire codebase locall

nCompass Technologies

match 75

Identifying performance bottlenecks and strategizing ways to solve them takes 4-8x longer than actually writing the code to fix them. We're building an agent that is an expert at analyzing the performance GPU systems like inference engines at all levels of the stack - from CPU-GPU interactions down to GPU kernels. Pairing our agent with Cursor / Claude Code allows you to automate both the reasoning and code implementation steps of performance optimization. What used to take weeks can now be done

Vibe Kanban

match 57

As AI agents become more capable at writing code, developers are spending more of their time planning and reviewing what those agents produce. Vibe Kanban helps them do exactly that, seamlessly integrating with leading coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex.

Tinfoil

match 56

Tinfoil makes it easy to make your AI workloads secure and provably private. You get the privacy of on-prem deployments, while running on the cloud. It's like end-to-end encrypted messaging but for your AI applications. We’ve built a full-stack platform on top of the latest NVIDIA GPUs offering confidential computing capabilities, meaning that you don’t have to trade off performance for privacy. We integrate a suite of recent advances in secure hardware technologies, in particular NVIDIA’s confi

Embedder

match 41

Embedder is an AI agent for embedded software. It reads your datasheets and schematics, writes the code, flashes the board, runs the tests, and fixes its own mistakes. Testing is hardware-in-the-loop: Embedder drives the equipment your team already owns (debug probes, logic analyzers, power profilers, oscilloscopes) and validates firmware on real silicon, not just against a compiler. Embedder works with some of the top semiconductor ecosystems in the world, supporting 500+ MCUs and 3,000+ periph
