Nautilo launches: a 100% open-source org harness with a personal 'Genie' agent for every user

Dan Jeffries launched Nautilo, a 100% open-source "org harness" spanning server, desktop, web, Android, and iOS.
Key points:
- Every user gets a personal "Genie" agent — a lifelong "machine person" that remembers everything and never breaks character
- Self-sovereign and private: users control servers, models, and endpoints; a service pack next month adds E2E encryption with short-term decryption delegations for the agent
- Desktop app bundles a browser, cloud browser, full office suite, video editor, vector designer, and terminal
The author argues an org-level harness must be fully open, or it becomes a surveillance app that a SaaS vendor can yank away via ToS changes.
