## What changed

Underdog (Conway Research's first product) announced a fully on-device personal AI agent on 2026-10-02: it reads email, takes meeting notes, handles dictation, manages the calendar, and drives the browser, asking before it pays, with nothing uploaded. Invite-only beta, first 100 invites, no pricing disclosed.

## What it means for buyers

A credible no-cloud answer to the personal-agent wave: buyers who will not hand email, calendar, and browser credentials to a cloud agent now have an on-device option, with the usual caveat to watch consumer-laptop hardware limits. It enters a roster where every tracked agent today assumes some cloud dependency, so the privacy-first positioning is the differentiator to watch.
