A local-first AI coding CLI that adapts to you

Bob's CLI runs on your own hardware with zero API costs, zero data leaving your machine. Bob lives in your terminal, sees your actual files, and writes code only with your explicit approval. What makes it different: auto-detect local AI models, behavioral DNA profiling that adapts to how YOU work, autonomous code review + auto-fix, conversation forking, deep dives, and SovereignLink — remote execution from any device while your code stays home. Free to start. Sovereign by design.

This looks promising, especially for builders who prefer keeping everything local. I'd love to know what the recommended hardware setup is for running this effectively. Congrats on the launch!
Bob's CLI
@henry_habib Hey Henry! Thanks for the kind words 🙏 Entry level (8GB RAM, integrated GPU): MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, or any budget laptop runs Gemma 4 E4B or Mistral 7B. Responses in 2–5 seconds. Totally usable for daily coding. Sweet spot (16–32GB RAM, RTX 5060–5070 Ti): This is where most developers land. Runs Gemma 4 12B or DeepSeek-R1 7B. Responses in 1–3 seconds. Feels like pair programming in real-time. Powerhouse (32–64GB RAM, RTX 5080–5090): Runs 70B parameter models. Sub-2-second responses. Can also serve your entire team via SovereignLink...one machine, multiple developers connecting remotely. Happy to help you figure out the ideal setup for your specific hardware if you want to drop your specs!
Keeping everything local is honestly the most interesting part for me. A lot of people love AI tools still hesitate to give them full access to their codebase.
Bob's CLI
@busra_seker1 You nailed it that hesitation is real and it's justified. Your codebase is your IP. With Bob, there's nothing to "give access" to because the AI runs on your machine alongside your files. No API call carrying your source code across the internet. The trust problem disappears when the architecture makes exposure physically impossible.
The local first approach is what caught my eye. Feels like a very diff tradeoff compared to cloud based coding agents.
Bob's CLI
@furkan_topcuoglu It really is a fundamentally different tradeoff. Cloud agents charge you more the better you get at using them we think that's backwards. With local-first, your costs stay flat (zero), your latency drops, and your data never becomes someone else's training set. All upside, no compromise.
Running local models is nice but keeping everything on my own machines is the part that caught my attention
Bob's CLI
@fatih912 That's exactly why we built it this way. Your code, your conversations, your behavioral profile all stored locally in ~/.bob/ on your filesystem. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly choose to sync. Full sovereignty by default, not by workaround.
Please let me know if you need anything I'm here to answer all questions

Congrats on the launch! The idea of an AI partner that remembers project context and works around a developer's limited time is really compelling.
Bob's CLI
@alina_tyslenok_ Thank you! That's exactly the problem we built for most of us aren't coding 8 hours straight, we're grabbing 45 minutes between meetings or an hour after the kids are asleep. Bob remembers everything between sessions so you never waste those precious minutes re-explaining context. Pick up exactly where you left off, from any device.
