The main need is a that can help with personal tasks while keeping under control. Privacy is the biggest concern. Free company- may still have hidden tradeoffs, even when a company says it does not train on user data.

The main work is managing Obsidian notes, with some light code-related experiments. The practical goal is a tool that can handle notes and small tasks without sending sensitive personal material to an outside service.
