The Construct
the folder is the prompt.
macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) · v0.4.5
A local-first command-line companion for your notes. Drop a markdown note into a watched folder; it reads the note, does the work, writes the result back, and logs it. Most of your agent calls don't need to be model calls this is a deterministic-first, handling a note with plain code and rules before ever reaching for an LLM. A model call is the expensive last resort, not the default.
The construct is intended to work with a local llm and experiment with other forms of agent user experience.

An inbox that acts on itself.
Drop a note in your Inbox folder; it gets summarized, tagged, and filed for you.
Reminders, instantly, with zero AI.
Tag a note “remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 5pm” and it parses and records it - no model, works offline.
Research on demand.
Tag a note to research a topic and it escalates to a local model (or whatever llm you want), then writes a sourced report back into the note.
Local-first, bring-your-own-LLM. Runs fully against a local Ollama with zero cloud calls; optional Anthropic/OpenAI. No telemetry, no account, nothing leaves your machine unless you say so.
