For Developers, Freelancers, Agencies

The other half of your private AI dev stack.

Ollama and Continue.dev handle your inline coding privately. Hey Eduardo handles everything else — NDAs, security findings, client emails, architectural docs, research with sensitive context. All on-device. Nothing leaks.

The Two Problems

Developers have two AI privacy problems. Most solutions only fix one.

The inline-coding-AI problem (Copilot, Cursor) is well-known. The chat-and-document AI problem is bigger and barely discussed — and it's where most of the legally-sensitive material actually ends up.

Problem 1: Inline coding AI

GitHub Copilot made code training opt-out by default in March 2026. Cursor logged 7 CVEs in 2025. The well-known answer: Ollama + Continue.dev or similar local-first IDE setup.

Problem 2: Chat-and-document AI

The NDA you paste into ChatGPT. The security audit you discuss with Claude. The client email you have Gemini help draft. This is where Hey Eduardo fits — on-device chat AI for everything outside the editor.

The combined stack

Local coding model in your IDE + Hey Eduardo for chat/research/documents = end-to-end privacy. Your client material never reaches any vendor, regardless of which AI you reach for.

Real Use Cases

What developers actually use Hey Eduardo for.

Reading and reasoning about confidential material. Client NDAs. MSAs. Security audit findings. Architectural design docs. Incident postmortems. Sensitive Slack threads. Internal compliance documents. All paste-and-discuss workflows where the source material can't leave your Mac.

Research with sensitive context. Working through a problem that involves client business logic or data structures, without leaking the problem context to a third party.

Drafting communications. Client emails, status updates, apologies, contract responses — drafted with the full context of the situation without that context being logged anywhere off-device.

The contract logic: Most client NDAs prohibit disclosure of confidential information to third parties without written consent. Submitting client material to consumer AI tools may be a contract breach. Local AI removes the third party from the equation.
Recommended dev stack:
✓ Ollama (model server)
✓ Continue.dev (IDE extension)
✓ DeepSeek-Coder-V2 or Qwen2.5-Coder
✓ Hey Eduardo (chat/document AI)
Result:
✓ Zero client material to vendors
✓ NDA-safe by architecture
✓ Vendor-policy-change immune
By the Numbers

The dev migration to private AI is already underway.

Common Questions

What developers ask before they try it.

Is Hey Eduardo a Copilot or Cursor replacement?

No. Hey Eduardo is for the chat/document tier — reading NDAs, analyzing audit findings, drafting client emails, working through architectural decisions. For inline coding, pair it with Ollama + Continue.dev for a fully local stack.

What does it do better than ChatGPT for dev work?

It runs entirely on your Mac. Every NDA you paste, every requirement doc you analyze, every confidential design discussion — none of it leaves your hardware. ChatGPT logs everything and is under a federal preservation order.

Why should freelancers and agencies care?

Most NDAs prohibit disclosing client material to third parties. Submitting client material to consumer AI tools may be a contract breach. Local AI removes the third party entirely.

What about GitHub's March 2026 Copilot policy change?

GitHub made code training opt-out by default — many developers missed the 30-day window. This is exactly the unilateral vendor change local AI protects you from. Your hardware, your terms.
