Why I'm Building Local AI Agents Now (And Why You Should Consider It)

I spent the last two weeks trying to explain to our compliance officer why sending insurance claim data to OpenAI's API is a non-starter for our product roadmap. She pulled out a regulatory document, I pulled out a cost projection, and we both realized we were talking past each o...
