how it works?

• we record everything 24/7, 100% locally, uses 10% CPU, 4 GB ram, 15 gb/m
• we index it into an api
• dev build ai apps w user’s full context, desktop native, nextjs, publish, monetize

why?

• ai models are commoditized
• ai is as good as its context
• the most valuable context is all contained in your screen

get started

macos, linux:

curl -fsSL get.screenpi.pe/cli | sh

or on windows

iwr get.screenpi.pe/cli.ps1 | iex
