aiFetchly — a local-first desktop AI agent for lead gen, research, and outreach

Most marketing AI tools live in a browser tab and forget your files the moment you close the chat. aiFetchly is an open-source, local-first desktop AI agent (Windows, macOS, Linux) built for business research, document-grounded drafting, lead organization, and scheduled outreach — with permission-gated tools you can review. What it does Tool-using AI chat with transcripts and permission controls Knowledge Library (RAG) — ground emails and reports in your own PDFs, Word docs, and HTML Lead generation across search engines plus a Local Business Finder (Google Maps / Yandex Maps) with CSV/JSON export AI email writing and SMTP outreach campaigns (your server, filters, dedupe) Task scheduler — cron, dependencies, pause/resume, execution history Extensibility — skills, plugins, MCP tools, and specialist subagents Why local-first matters Keeping a business Knowledge Library and task history on the desktop makes recurring ops work reviewable: you see which tools ran, what was drafted, and what still needs human approval before anything is sent.
