I'm the founder behind MindBridge, launching here officially on September 22nd but I wanted to start the conversation early.
Here's the problem that got me started: every "AI assistant" I tried assumed my data was fine living on someone else's server. Chat history, files, personal notes all shipped off to the cloud by default, with privacy as an afterthought (if it existed at all).
So I built MindBridge the other way around: local-first from day one.
