Sentient OS launches on-device AI: at night, a local LLM reads messages and files and writes them into markdown
Sentient OS (YC F26) has released on-device AI: at night, a local LLM reads the user's messages, files, and notes, and writes what it learns into a plain markdown folder on the computer, which the user can open, edit, or delete. During the day, Double Tap and Sidekick read these files to draft replies and complete tasks in apps, and only heavier tasks call the user-selected cloud model.

Local models have reached the point where it makes sense to let one read your entire digital life every night.
Sentient OS just launched an on-device AI that reads your messages, files and notes overnight with a local LLM.
Each night it writes what it learns into a folder of plain markdown files on your computer, which you can open, edit or delete. During the day, Double Tap and Sidekick read from those files to draft your replies and finish tasks in your apps, calling a cloud model you choose only for the heavier work.
