Hey everyone! For the past two weeks my friend and I have been heads-down building Cloi, a fully local debugging agent that runs right in your terminal. You probably know the drill—every AI coding tool asks for API keys, subscriptions, and uploads your entire codebase to the cloud. Cloi does none of that: it runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud, no API keys, no subscriptions, and zero data leaving your system. What Cloi does: - Contextual error capture: Grabs your stack trace, local files, and environment to understand the issue. - Local LLM inference: Spins up Ollama on your box and generates targeted fixes—no external servers. - Safe patch application: Presents you with diffs and only applies changes when you explicitly approve. - Model‐agnostic: Ships with Phi-4 out of the box (surprisingly capable for its size!), but you can s

Helloo HN! I’m Gabriel Cha and an incoming student @ Coluimbia and just wanted to share what I've been building past 2 weeks: Cloi - a completely local debugging agent that runs right in your terminal. https://github.com/cloi-ai/cloi I created Cloi because every AI coding tool wants API keys, subscriptions, and your entire codebase uploaded to their servers. Cloi, however, runs entirely on your machine. No cloud, no API keys, no subscriptions, no data leaving your system. The tech is brutally simple: it captures your error context, spins up Ollama locally, generates targeted fixes, and - only with your explicit permission - applies patches directly to your files. You review every diff before anything changes.We ship with Phi-4 out of the box (crazy good for its size), but you can swap to any Ollama model you've got installed. Your machine
