They want your context, your keys, and your compute. They want to be the environment.  Munder Difflin agent use takes the opposite direction. It is a multi-agent use that wraps existing agent CLIs, things like Claude Code or Kimi CLI, and runs them on your laptop. It treats the CLI as the primary interface for individual clones that share memory and hand off work locally.  It is a shift from \"platform-as-agent\" to \"local-orchestrator-as-agent.\"  The mechanism is a local node. Each clone is a node on its owner's laptop. Code, keys, and personal context stay on the machine. Communication happens via end-to-end encrypted messages between clones.  If a clone needs a design token or a specific file, it messages another clone. In the provided example, jim-clone requests invoice-state design tokens, and pam-clone responds with the tokens and edge-case flows in billing/tokens.json. The work is unblocked, and a PR #147 is opened.  This is not a new model provider. It is a way to make your existing subscriptions, your Claude, your Gemini, your Copilot, work as persistent, local entities.  The architecture relies on three distinct layers:  1. **The Node.** The local execution environment where the CLI runs. 2. **The Memory.** A shared knowledge base that is captured from your workflow,    tooling, and knowledge, and inherited by every new clone. 3. **The Network.** A way for clones to coordinate via encrypted messaging.  It is an attempt to turn the \"agent\" from a chat interface into a background process. Instead of a human prompting a model, a human provisions a clone that inherits their workflows, their tooling, and their nitpicks.  It is not a paradigm shift in intelligence. It is a shift in residency. The intelligence is already in your API keys; Munder Difflin just gives that intelligence a place to sit and a way to talk to its neighbors. ## Sources - Munder Difflin agent use: https://munderdiffl.in/",
