> running it onto your machine is kinda the point.

That very much depends what you're using it for. If you're one of the overly advertised cases of someone who needs an ai to manage inbox, calendar and scheduling tasks, sure maybe that makes sense on your own machine if you aren't capable of setting up access on another one.

For anything else it has no need to be on your machine. Most things are cloud based these days, and granting read access to git repos, google docs, etc is trivial.

I really dont get the insane focus around 'your inbox' this whole thing has, that's perhaps the biggest waste of use you could have for a tool like this and an incredibly poor way of 'selling' it to people.
