Sigil RAG + Docling ingestion

On-device Granite 4.0

Ship an IDE co-pilot that runs IBM Granite completion + embedding models entirely on your hardware. No usage telemetry leaves your network.

Realtime embeddings, no external LLM calls

Sovereign search + chat

Sigil indexes every repo, notes workspace mutations, and answers from your context window instantly.

OAuth-based access control

Web authentication

Sign in with Google or GitHub. The Access Portal manages your subscription and provides secure access to download the desktop launcher.

Workflow

All of Laider in one view

Workspace-native chat

Chat threads run locally with Granite completions and Sigil retrieval. Bring your own tools via FastAPI commands exposed through Laider.

  • Tool calling sandbox
  • Docling PDF/slide ingestion
  • Real-time diff streaming

Deterministic RAG

Sigil indexing pipelines stay reproducible. Run nightly sweeps or ad-hoc refreshes from the launcher. Boost results via structured prompt templates.

  • Chunking tuned for monorepos
  • Embedding drift reports
  • Chroma-compatible exports

Automation hooks

Kick off FastAPI workflows, CI jobs, or local shell scripts directly from Laider chat. Each action is audited and replayable.

  • Signed command queue
  • Launcher task history
  • Bring-your-own secrets

What's next

Launch roadmap

We're polishing the frontend UI, stress-testing the agent loop, and hardening the local model orchestration. Here's what's coming:

  1. Agent loop stability - Multi-turn reasoning with context preservation
  2. Frontend polish - SolidJS UI refinements, keyboard shortcuts, and themes
  3. Model optimization - Granite 4.0 quantization and inference tuning
  4. Beta program - Select early adopters test the full stack
Laider RAG system answering questions about Physics Prime Factorization

From the founder

Yes, the math is real

That screenshot shows Granite analyzing my own research papers on Physics Prime Factorization and Involuted Oblate Toroid (IOT). The RAG system isn't hallucinating - I wrote that math.

This is what Laider does: it indexes your workspace with Sigil's 5-way hybrid search (lexical + semantic + graph + temporal + vector), then Granite 4.0 reasons over the actual source material. No cloud APIs, no vendor lock-in, no nonsense.

We've got RAG working. We've got chat working. Now we're polishing the UI and stress-testing the agent loop before the full beta launch.
