We started by running weekly deliveries from these stores ourselves, which is how we learned their real problem: most have never had a weekly flyer or any online presence, because producing one requires a design team and structured product data they don't have. Presenters: Conrad Scotchburn, Founder & CEO. Smit Kanpariya, Co-Founder & CTO. Myles is an AI companion that lives on your computer, designed to be yours by default. It works with your real files and tasks while remembering what matters between conversations. By staying local, it ensures your data never leaves your machine unless you explicitly allow it to reach out. Think of it as a single agent with many skills that reasons on your own hardware, giving you full control over privacy and capability.
