Show HN: Sageling - a local AI agent for Mac, Qwen 3.5 9B in-process via MLX A lot of my non-developer friends still think that AI is basically just Google or something you ask to write something and then copy paste it around... if they use it at all. When I ask them why they don't use the good stuff like Claude Cowork or its competitors, they tell me a few things: 1. Well, I don't wanna pay a bunch of money for it, and the $20 plans run out real fast. 2. I'm dealing with sensitive info (student grades, therapy notes, legal work, etc) and I don't wanna give it to anyone. So I built Sageling to give them a first taste of what a good coworking experience feels like. It's admittedly not going to be as powerful given it's running Qwen 3.5 9B, but with all of the harness' tricks, it a good first experience that can handle some impressive things for its size (see all the website videos). If you've heard similar things from your friends, send the link onto them =) https://sageling.ai/ September 4, 2026 at 11:30PM
