The Proxy Company
The Proxy Company provides a personal local intelligence layer that functions as a video game-like operating system, preparing work and proposing next steps while keeping users in full decision control. The platform runs models on local hardware alongside cloud frontier models, unified through a unique Proxy address accessible from any browser, with a Life Map storing personal connections and plans locally. Its underlying Proxy State Engine uses a layered state machine architecture to guarantee structurally valid outputs from probabilistic LLMs.

Problem
Traditional operating systems and digital environments are often generic, failing to adapt to individual users' workflows and cognitive styles. This lack of personalization can hinder creativity and productivity, forcing users to conform to rigid software paradigms rather than the software conforming to them.
Solution
Proxy provides a personal local intelligence layer that functions as a video game-like operating system, designed to become uniquely yours over time. Instead of an AI agent that makes decisions for you, Proxy does all the preparatory work while you make all the decisions — it takes a goal, prepares the work, and proposes a next Move for you to approve. The platform runs models on your own hardware alongside frontier models in the cloud, bringing all intelligence into one interface. Each member chooses a unique Proxy address, a private line that works from any browser to chat, approve moves via mobile, and connect apps that support MCP or standard chat APIs. A Life Map stores your people, ideas, and plans locally on your computer as a living picture, helping you find connections and choose your next step. The underlying technology includes the Proxy State Engine (PSE), which reliably generates structured outputs from probabilistic LLMs using a layered state machine architecture.
Target Audience
Proxy targets individuals seeking a more personalized and intelligent computing experience, particularly power users, creatives, and professionals who value creativity, capability, data privacy, and maintaining decision-making control over AI-assisted workflows.
Features
- Multi-agent party system where different roles debate on your behalf, keeping you in the decision loop
- Proxy address (e.g., steve.proxy.ing) that works from any browser, with mobile approvals and MCP/chat API integration
- Local-first architecture: personal data stored on your hardware, with privacy and speed as core design principles
