Shinkai: Local AI Agents

Shinkai lets anyone create advanced AI agents autonomous, tool-using, with memory.
Local-first, with decentralized identity & payments.

Looking for an effortless AI agent setup?

Shinkai is perfect for non-developers seeking simplicity and speed, while ai16z (ElizaOS) suits those who enjoy deep coding control.

How many hours a week do you lose to tasks you could have handed off to an agent by now?

[Shinkai: Local AI Agents @ShinkaiLocalAI]

Shinkai runs locally by default.

Your agents, your data, your history.
Connected to the cloud when you want it.

Private when you don't. That's the setup.

Running AI locally sounds like a technical choice.

It's actually a trust choice.
Here's what actually changes.

[Shinkai: Local AI Agents @ShinkaiLocalAI]

The tradeoff used to be significant.

Local models were much weaker than cloud ones. That gap has closed a lot. The privacy and reliability benefits didn't disappear with it.

Most AI tools are built to impress in a demo.

Fewer are built to be useful on a random Tuesday afternoon when you just need something done and don't want to think about it.

Someone ran their first Shinkai agent today.

It searched the web,
summarized a research paper,
and saved the output to a file.

They didn't write a single line of code.
They haven't thought about it since.
That's what automation is supposed to feel like.

Google replaced search results with AI agents.

DuckDuckGo installs jumped 30% in a week.
Everyone called it a privacy protest.

The real signal is simpler: people don't mind AI.
They mind having it forced on them.

There's a big difference between a tool you choose and one that replaces what you had.

[Shinkai: Local AI Agents @ShinkaiLocalAI]

Every time you type something into a cloud AI tool,
you're making a decision about who else gets to read it.

Most people don't think about that until they've already typed it.

Shinkai Points aren't a loyalty program.

They're a record of participation.

Every mission completed,
every agent run,
every piece of feedback given.

That record compounds.

[Shinkai: Local AI Agents @ShinkaiLocalAI]

Shinkai is built for that second phase.

Not the demo.
The part where you actually use it.

Most AI tools feel amazing the first week.

Then something shifts.
Here's what actually happens.

That's also why "local-first" matters more than it sounds.

When the agent runs on your machine,
you see everything.

What it's doing,
what data it's touching,
when it fails.
No black box.
No guessing.
