Clippy Vision v1.0.0

A fully local AI assistant that watches your work to eliminate the context problem. 100% private — no cloud, no data leakage.

What's in this release

This is the first packaged release of Clippy Vision. Everything runs on your machine — no API keys, no subscriptions, no data leaving your device.

Installer features:

  • Built-in setup wizard that installs Python, Ollama, and all required AI models automatically
  • No terminal required — works for any Windows user
  • Preflight health checks on every launch; redirects to setup wizard if any dependency is missing

Core features:

  • Passive screen awareness — captures active windows, clipboard, typing patterns, and screenshots in the background
  • Three-tier event classification (rule-based → feature-based → LLM fallback)
  • Vision OCR and activity inference via qwen3-vl:4b
  • Hierarchical memory: events → session summaries → distilled long-term facts
  • Fine-tuned MiniLM query router for fast context prefetch before the LLM is called
  • ReAct agent with SQL generation, memory recall, and fact saving
  • Privacy-first: Clippy Vision's own window is blacked out in every screenshot before the AI sees it
  • Per-app redaction rules (WhatsApp, Telegram, incognito windows, etc.)
  • Capture toggle from tray icon or in-app button, with desktop notification on change

Models used (downloaded automatically on first launch):

Model Size Purpose
qwen3:8b ~4.7 GB Reasoning, summarization, SQL, QA
qwen3-vl:4b ~2.9 GB Vision / OCR
nomic-embed-text ~274 MB Embeddings

Installation

  1. Download ClippyVision-Setup-1.0.0.exe below
  2. Run it — if Windows shows a "protected your PC" warning, click More info → Run anyway (the app is unsigned; see note below)
  3. Follow the setup wizard

Requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), 8 GB RAM min (16 GB recommended), ~10 GB free disk, internet on first run.

Note on code signing

This release is unsigned. The "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen prompt is expected and safe to bypass. Code signing will be added in a future release.
