The whole story, for the curious.
A closer look at what makes Ted Agent tick.
+
Ted Agent is a single-user, local-first AI assistant that runs entirely on your Mac. It talks to you on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and email; keeps a real knowledge graph of what you've discussed; and proactively starts conversations about things that deserve your attention — daily digests, follow-ups on promises, nudges about contacts you've ghosted. Built on your local claude CLI by default, so everyday use costs zero tokens.
