LILA

Lean Intelligent Local Agent

Private by design, explicit in every action, light enough for your laptop.

Get in touch

Today's AI agents ask for a lot of trust.

Your data leaves your machine.

Capable agents usually mean large, remote models. How comfortable are you with the email to your therapist being a line item in someone else's training or eval dataset?

You can't see what it did.

The same task can run differently twice, a small wording change can alter behavior, and figuring out what went wrong means reading a chat transcript.

It needs a data center.

Every step piles more messages and outputs into the context window, so the model has to be big enough to hold it all — usually bigger than your laptop can run.

Why it happens

Most agent harnesses encode skills as natural-language instructions and run a loop — think, act, observe, repeat — until the model decides it's done. That's easy to start with and fine for one-off tasks, but it leaves out structure by design.

Visibility isn't built in. It's bolted on after the fact.

What if an agent worked on a graph?

LILA brings structure to agent work. Tasks run on an explicit graph of small steps, and skills are graphs too. Because each step is small, a small model can handle work normally reserved for big ones — so both the harness and the model run 100% on your computer.

LILA graph. Every step is explicit, and each one is small enough for a small model.

What you get

Private

The harness and the model both run on your hardware. Your data doesn't need to leave your computer.

Explicit

Every step is a node you can see. Debug with a picture, not a chat log — and run the same task twice to get the same shape of result.

Light

Small steps need only a small model, so commodity hardware is enough. No GPU cluster required.
