Show HN: Impel – an always-on, prompt-free AI companion for your Mac (tryimpel.com)

Is this real yet or is it a landing page trying to gauge interest? There aren’t any screenshots. What model(s) are used for local processing?

FYI to HN readers, all visitors can do is share their email to get on a waitlist for what seems like a hypothetical product.

Have you made any progress on this or is this just a landing page test?

Nice MVP website, very polished. Looking forward to the first demo video!

Bit too close to `Incel`.

Coming soon after, the companion phone app Compel.

Is this a local model that’s going to destroy my battery life, or a cloud model that’s going to steal all my data? Kidding… sort of.

It's not really a "Show HN" when it's only a landing page for a waiting list.

"Private Stuff Stays Private impel is unable to scan for private windows, excluded apps, and sensitive information by default. It also relies on low level APIs to never capture confidential information."

Who says what is/is not confidential information. Does your tool make that judgment or the user?

Really like the product vision here, excited to try it out!
