MentaAgent An AI business analyst that actually knows your business. It runs on your own computer, uses open-weight models by default or any provider you have a key for, and is free (Apache 2.0). Give it a company's spreadsheets, contracts, PDFs and emails. It tells you what the business is lacking, where the risks are, and what to improve, and its answers name the files they came from. It remembers what it learns across conversations. All of it runs on your machine. There is no account, no sign-up, no subscription.
