Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
The article introduces 'Clippy', an AI assistant that uses local LLMs (Large Language Models) and MCP (Model Context Protocol) calls to provide context-aware assistance. Unlike traditional AI tools, Clippy operates locally on the user's device, eliminating the need for cloud-based processing. It can understand the user's current context, paste responses directly into text fields, and perform tasks like creating Linear tickets or editing Google Calendar through voice commands. The tool integrates with Siri for voice activation and focuses on privacy by keeping all processing local.
