About

Founder of Osaurus, the open source AI harness for macOS. Local inference on Apple Silicon, agents, skills, and sandboxed execution. Previously shipped at Netflix, Tesla, and Zillow, and built NiftyKit (acquired). I believe inference is all you need. Everything else can be owned by you.

Your AI chat history is the new lock-in

Everyone talks about model lock-in, but the real switching cost is your conversation history. Months of context, decisions, and half-finished projects living inside one app.

We just shipped chat import in Osaurus (free, open source Mac app) so you can export your conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, or Open WebUI and continue them with any model. Building it made us realize how differently each app treats your data on the way out. Some exports are clean JSON, some are a mess clearly not designed to be read by anything else.

New in Osaurus: Browser Use, driven by a 9B local model

Osaurus agents can now drive a real browser. You give the agent a goal in plain language, and it navigates, clicks, reads pages, and reports back.

The demo we shipped it with: a 9B model checking an Amazon shopping cart. Real browser, real login, real cart. It signed in, read the page, and returned the items and prices. About 90 seconds, running locally on a Mac.

We shipped local document search, and made citations non-negotiable

Just shipped Knowledge Base in Osaurus. You hand your agents a folder of reference material, itineraries, specs, spreadsheets, whatever you keep, and they search across all of it and answer from it. It runs on your Mac.
