Building a Local AI Intelligence Layer

At Devian Labs, we believe that developers shouldn't have to be system administrators. One of the ways we're simplifying the developer experience is through our local AI Intelligence Layer.

Local-First AI

We made a conscious decision to keep all AI processing local. When you ask Devian, "Why is my memory usage so high?", the analysis happens entirely on your CPU/GPU.

How it Works

  1. State Snapshotting: Devian takes a structured snapshot of your system (active processes, network sockets, file descriptors, etc.).
  2. Local Reasoning: This data is passed to a small, optimized Large Language Model (LLM) running on your device.
  3. Actionable Suggestions: The model translates complex system state into plain English advice.

Example Use Cases

Port Conflicts

Instead of just seeing that port 8080 is blocked, Devian can tell you: "PID 9924 (a hanging node process) is holding port 8080. Would you like to terminate it?"

Disk Bloat

Devian identifies that your ~/.npm cache is 12GB and hasn't been used in 3 months. It suggests running a safe prune.

Looking Ahead

We're exploring even deeper integrations, such as auto-fixing environment drift and predicting when your system is about to run out of resources.

Stay tuned for more updates!
