Cloud AI tools for email require a tradeoff most Proton Mail users never agreed to: send your encrypted mail to an inference API, or…

myICOR

The system is a local markdown folder pre-loaded with a six-person AI team: a routing orchestrator (Larry), a research specialist (Pax), a capture agent (Penn), and others — each with a named contract and a session journal so the next model picks up where the last one left off. You bring your own LLM; the folder supplies the memory. Research produces structured notes in place, drafts inherit your established voice, and weekly review prompts surface stale items automatically. The ceiling appears when you need real-time data, API integrations, or collaborative editing — none of that is in the folder. Teams that need those reach for purpose-built tools alongside this one.

Platforms	—	Local disk (any OS with markdown support)
Pros	—	LLM-agnostic folder architecture, so switching from Claude to Gemini mid-project is a matter of opening the same folder in a different app — no re-pasting context, no lost session history. Persistent agent journals mean each specialist picks up from the last session, so you stop spending the first ten minutes of every AI conversation re-explaining who you are and what you're working on. Plain markdown on your local disk means zero migration risk — if the vendor disappears tomorrow, every note, contract, and workflow you built is still readable by any text editor or LLM. Larry's routing layer matches requests to the right specialist automatically, so you don't have to remember which prompt style triggers good research versus good drafting — the team handles the handoff. Open-source scaffold under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, so you can inspect, fork, and extend the agent contracts without waiting on a vendor roadmap or paying for access to the base system.
Cons	—	The folder has no mechanism for live data: API calls, web scraping, calendar reads, and CRM syncs are all outside its scope. Teams that need agents to pull live information must wire up a separate integration layer and maintain it alongside the folder — which is a second system to debug. There is no multi-user collaboration model. Two people cannot edit the same folder simultaneously with conflict resolution. Teams of more than one person sharing a PKM workspace hit this wall immediately and typically move the shared layer to a tool with real-time sync — Notion, Obsidian Sync, or a shared Git repo — while keeping individual folders local. No hosted inference or built-in LLM access means every new user must already have API credentials or a local model running before the team scaffold does anything. For non-technical users who came for the AI workflows, the setup friction before first use is real and the docs leave meaningful configuration detail to the user to figure out. The agent team is fixed at the scaffold level — expanding it requires running Nolan's eight-step hiring procedure, which is a prompt-driven workflow inside the folder. Teams used to GUI-based agent builders who want to add a specialist in two clicks will find the process slower and more text-heavy than competing tools that offer visual agent creation.
