Free Build Your Own guide
Build a small Local App around one job that wastes time, creates mistakes, or relies on memory. The free guide explains how it works, and the included Starting Template helps your AI Agent guide you through the first build.
Free to read · Starting Template included · No purchase required
Set aside 30 to 45 minutes to read it. Plan a few focused hours to build and check a simple first Local App.
Following the guide requires a compatible desktop AI Agent.

What people build
Start with one repeated bottleneck. The first version only needs to save time, prevent a mistake, or make the next action clear.
Independent bookkeeper
Client documents arrive through different channels, and missing items live in memory. The Local App records what arrived, shows what is missing, and prepares a checked follow-up list.
Small equipment rental shop
Checkouts, returns, and maintenance notes get separated. The Local App shows each item’s status, flags service due, and keeps the next rental from being promised too soon.
Boutique consultancy
Goals, approved messages, and open decisions are scattered across notes and chat. The Local App keeps one current client brief and shows what changed before the next meeting.
Proof from 8bit
8bit Groundwork uses a Local Folder, Agent Instructions, a Local Site, and an AI Agent to maintain a business source of truth. The screen above is its actual Local Site, not a concept image.
