Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We built Cerno because most AI tools today feel like black boxes, powerful, but hard to trust or control. Cerno is different. It’s a local-first research platform that uses agentic AI to break down complex questions into transparent, verifiable workflows. You can switch between self-hosted models and cloud LLMs on the fly, trace every reasoning step, every query, every tool call, all while keeping your data fully local. We’re most proud of the glass-box experience: seeing why the AI does what it does, not just what it outputs. If you care about reproducibility, privacy, or just want more control over your AI workflows, give Cerno a try. Would love your thoughts and feedback!
