Summary
Run a Fully Local Computer-Use AI Agent (Codex + Claude + Ollama + CUA Driver) — Free & PrivateThe video shows how to set up a fully local “computer use” AI agent that can control your machine (open apps, write notes, browse the web) with no data leaving your computer, using Codex or Claude Code with local models. It explains that running local models with Codex/Claude can be done via Ollama, notes hardware considerations for powerful models, and demonstrates downloading a model (e.g., Qwen 3.6+). The script then shows how to run Claude Code or Codex with another model (DeepSeek) via terminal commands and introduces the key tool for computer control: CUA Driver, used as a skill to open macOS Notes and write content in the background. It recaps the steps (hardware, Ollama, model download, Claude/Codex setup, CUA Driver) and mentions additional training on Hermes Agent and a community with coaching calls and support. 00:00 Local Computer Agents Intro 01:10 Running Models with Ollama 02:23 Using Claude Code and Codex 03:30 Computer Use with CUA Driver 04:08 Live Notes Automation Demo 05:32 Recap and Next Steps 05:46 Training and Community Plug 06:37 Wrap Up and Goodbye
