Launch HN: Screenpipe (YC S26) – Power your agents by your 24/7 screen recording

Implementation specifics aside, I increasingly think life and death cycles are preferable. The opposite of omnipotent context, I want cycles of clean slates so that baggage - of all kinds - does not weigh down the new.

How are you planing to segregate between professional use and personal use, I dont want any agent or any llm to know all the time what i have been doing on my system, it would be privacy nightmare and most of the time the screencapture is not meaningful. People may use their work laptop or devices to checkout reddit or hackernews occasionally.

How does it run the LLMs? Or does it call a API to llama.cpp/ollama/etc. ?

During normal usage, how often does it try to parse info from the screen capture? Once a minute?

Been a user of Screenpipe to build some "Ai-buddies" for me since last year. Core of that is giving AI a look at what is happening in time space. Without Screenpipe this was rather hard to do at the performance screenpipe gives.

This sounds so ripe for abuse and so terrifying if it were that I don't even want to experiment with it. Sorry.

I'm less surprised that this kind of thing is YC-backed and not a bad joke, and more surprised some people seriously think it is a good idea!

zero chance im trusting any cloud or third party SaaS

if this doesn't run fully local its a no go for enterprise let alone ordinary users
