# Agent Smith for Mac

> A team of AI agents that works in your Mac's shell.

Agent Smith turns a request into tracked tasks: an orchestrator plans the work, worker agents carry it out in a real shell, and a security agent rates every tool call before it runs. It works with 19 cloud providers or local models through Ollama and LM Studio, and keeps API keys in the Keychain. Apache 2.0, signed and notarized; needs macOS 26.2 or later on Apple silicon.
