About

We build infrastructure for running coding agents on hardware you own.

Directionally Local is the brand of Intel Deployed Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore. We make open-source software that lets teams run AI coding agents on their own machines, so source code and API keys stay inside the company.
