The Brain
Central intelligence
The brain is Fred's central router. Every user message arrives here first. It analyzes intent, decides which agent(s) to call, and synthesizes their responses into a final answer.
The brain never delegates blindly - it reads each agent's response and decides if more agents are needed.
👁️
The Eyes
Vision and recognition
Handles everything visual - security camera feeds, face recognition, image analysis, OCR on documents and membership cards.
💜
The Heart (Memory)
Memory and recall
Stores Fred's long-term memory - conversation history, user preferences, learned patterns. The brain consults the heart to maintain continuity across sessions.

Under the Hood
Fred runs entirely on your hardware. Here’s how the system is built - every component, every protocol, every design decision. Tap a node to explore.
Architecture
Fred is built as a modular system. A central brain understands what you need and routes your request to the right agent. Each agent is a self-contained module that handles one job well. Adding new capabilities is as simple as installing a new module.
At a Glance
7 core modules
25+ agents built
0 cloud dependencies
Growing Ecosystem
The modules shown here are just the beginning. New agents are added as real use cases emerge. The community discovers the need, someone builds the agent, and every Fred can install it. Have an idea for a new agent? Scroll down and tell us - your input shapes what we build next.
Design Principles
All data stays on your network. Agents are modular - enable, disable, or swap them without touching the core. AI models can be upgraded independently as better ones become available. Your hardware, your choice.
The Brain
Central intelligence and router
Every message starts here. The Brain understands what you’re asking, figures out which agent can help, and routes your request. If one agent isn’t enough, it chains multiple together before responding. It runs a local AI model - no cloud calls, no data leaving your machine.
How It Works
You ask a question → The Brain understands your intent → Routes to the right agent → Agent does its job → Brain reviews the response → Chains more agents if needed → You get your answer.
The Brain never delegates blindly - it reads each agent’s response and decides if more information is needed before replying to you.
The Eyes
Vision and image understanding
Handles everything visual - from reading text on a photo to generating images from a description. Document scanning, face recognition, and AI image generation all run locally on your hardware.
What It Can Do
• Read text from documents, receipts, and cards
• Recognize faces from your contacts
• Generate images and video from descriptions
• All processing stays on your device
The Heart
Memory and long-term recall
This is what makes Fred feel like it actually knows you. Most AI tools forget everything when the conversation ends. Fred doesn’t. Every interaction is stored and retrievable. The more you use Fred, the smarter it gets.
Why This Matters
Ask Fred “What did the electrician quote?” and it can recall a conversation from weeks ago. It remembers your preferences, your habits, and the things you’ve told it - all stored locally, never sent anywhere.
All memory stays on your hardware. You own your data, your context, and your history - permanently.
Left Hand - Email
Reads and sends your email
Connects to your email server. Reads your inbox, sends replies, flags important messages. No Gmail, no Outlook, no middleman - your email stays on your hardware.
Example
“Do I have important emails?” → Fred checks your inbox → “2 flagged important - one about the project deadline.”
Right Hand - Calendar
Manages your schedule
Creates events, checks availability, resolves conflicts, and contributes to your daily morning briefing. Works with your existing calendar - no cloud sync needed.
Example
“What’s on my calendar tomorrow?” → Fred checks your schedule → “3 events - standup at 9, lunch at 12, dentist at 3.”
Left Foot - Smart Home
Controls your home
Lights, thermostats, locks, sensors - all controlled locally over your network. Voice-activated home automation without cloud dependencies.
Example
“Turn on the living room lights” → Fred sends the command → “Done. Living room lights are on.”
Right Foot - Security
Monitors your cameras
Processes security camera feeds locally. Motion detection, face recognition, and real-time alerts - all on your hardware. Footage never leaves your network.
Example
“Any motion at the front door?” → Fred checks the feed → “Delivery person detected 10 min ago. Here’s the snapshot.”
WhatsApp
Chat intelligence
Reads only the chats you explicitly connect, on your own hardware. Extracts appointments and to-dos and feeds your morning report. Nothing is sent anywhere.
🩸 Installed via The Surgeon
Media Studio
Local image and video generation
Text-to-image, photo editing, and short video generation on your own GPU via local models. Prompts, photos, and results stay on your hardware.
🩸 Installed via The Surgeon
Web Search
On-demand, with sources
Multi-engine web search that runs only when you ask. Fred reads the results and answers with sources. The search query is the only thing that leaves your network.
