The local Smithers app

# Open Smithers. No cloud, no signup.

One command opens a real app on your machine. Tell the concierge what you want in plain English and it builds the workflow, then watch the run come alive as a graph. Everything stays local.

Why this exists

## You had no window into the thing on your own machine.

To see a run, you parsed JSON out of the CLI or signed into a hosted product living in some other repo. And to start a workflow, you had to already know the exact command to type.

before

### Read the run in your head

Runs were rows of JSON. You reconstructed what happened from fields instead of seeing it.

before

### Know the incantation first

Starting a workflow meant memorizing its name and flags. New work meant reading source, not asking.

How it works

## Open it, describe the work, watch it run.

1

### Open the app

`smithers ui --app` builds and serves a local app and pops it open in your browser. No sign-in wall.

2

### Ask the concierge

Say what you want done. A real model reads your workspace and turns the request into an actual runnable workflow.

3

### Watch it live

The run renders as a graph. Steps light up as they finish, gates pause for your call, and you can open any node.

What's inside

## A whole cockpit, on localhost.

◈ concierge

### Chat that builds workflows

A real LLM concierge that reads your project and proposes, then creates, a workflow you can run.

◧ live graph

### Runs you can see

Every run is a graph. Watch steps advance, inspect a node, or replay from a point in time.

⌘ files & vcs

### Files and version control

Browse the workspace and its diffs from inside the app, next to the run that produced them.

◱ workspaces

### Pick where work happens

Switch between projects with the workspace picker. The app follows you to the repo you are in.

## Your agents already run here. Now you can see them.

One command, no account, nothing leaves your machine.
