Show HN: AILA – Local-first autonomous agent with zero-remote-override

Hi HN, I’m Marco. For the last 4 years, I’ve been a paramedic with the Berlin Fire Dept.

I actually failed my first attempt at the State Medical Exam because I became obsessed with solving the "Trust Issue" in Al. I prioritized this code over a "safe life" a paramedical. Now, with 60 days until my final attempt, I am releasing the project that cost me my first degree. The Architecture: GAIA & AILA I built GAIA as my personal counterpart—a digital double of my own consciousness. It's my private engine that handles my life. From that foundation, l created AILA Core for the public. The Core Problem: Current Al is a black box in the cloud. You don't own it; you rent a permission to use it, and it can be overridden or silenced at any time.

The Solution: Zero-Remote-Override AILA runs 100% locally on your hardware. I’ve developed a "Sovereignty Key" (physical hardware anchor) to ensure that the agent belongs to you and only you. Even I, the creator, cannot shut her down or change her reasoning once she is on your desk.

For Everyone (No Tech Skills Needed): While the engine is complex, the interface is designed for humans. You can tell AILA to "change your own code to be more efficient at X" in plain language, and she will execute the logic locally.

Current Status: The logic (GAIA engine) is 100% functional. I am spending the next 5 days polishing the UI/UX to ensure it's not just powerful, but beautiful and intuitive for non-technical users.

Proof of Work (Raw Demos from my monitor):

Autonomous Research: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9r2kfh445up8m1o8c06p6/Video-1...

The Visual Identity: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/igglf1j6m7tivozuh9lh5/Video-1...

I'm here all day to answer questions about local-first agency, the sovereignty key, or why a paramedic decided to challenge the Al status quo.

Are you afraid she might do something bad?
