Curiosity Garage

Local-first agent engineering · Singapore

We set up and run AI agents on hardware you own.

Curiosity Garage is a small engineering practice for teams running AI agent harnesses on machines they control. We install the harness properly, build the applications around it, and — when one dies at an inconvenient hour — join your machine securely and bring it back.

Services

Three things, done properly.

Every engagement runs on your hardware, with your keys, and ends with a written record of what changed.

01

Agent harness setup

Install, wire, and harden a local agent harness on hardware you control — from a laptop to a workstation to a small rack.

  • Model and provider wiring, with your own API keys
  • Memory, tools, sandbox, and scheduling configuration
  • Health checks, backups, and a written runbook

02

Custom applications

Applications built on top of your harness — the parts that make an agent useful to the rest of your team.

  • Internal tools and dashboards driven by your agent
  • Integrations with the systems you already run
  • Deployed on your infrastructure, not ours

03

Agent Rescue

When a harness fails — misconfiguration, dead process, broken upgrade — we diagnose and repair it with you on the call.

  • Secure peer-to-peer access, no inbound ports
  • You watch every command as it runs
  • Root-cause report handed back after the fix

Approach

How we work.

A

Your hardware, your keys

We don't resell hosting or hold your API keys. Everything we build runs on machines you own and can inspect, and every credential stays in your possession.

B

Read before touching

Logs, config, and git history first. We don't reinstall, upgrade, or "clean up" a working system to make a problem look solved.

C

You keep the receipt

Every engagement ends with written findings: what was wrong, what we changed, and how to recognise it next time. No black boxes, no retainer handcuffs.
