What does “owns your filesystem” mean? That sounds dangerous.

I have used Cowork so much over the last couple of months and I have no reason to switch. But I’ll definitely give this a try.

I don’t get it. It says nothing leaves your computer, but it’s sending things to OpenRouter, not running models locally. Perhaps I am dumb (and I always feel dumb after reading an AI generated README for yet another AI tool Tbf)

So it's like open claw but you have to pay for it?
