Directionally Local is an open-source coding agent harness (Autopilot) plus everything it needs to run on hardware you control.
Run npm install -g directionallylocal, then dl. It sets up on your laptop or on your own server over SSH. Inside any GitHub repo, dl opens an agent session that keeps running when you leave. dl run "..." hands off a task that runs in its own sandbox and comes back as a pull request.
Subagents and tasks run in Hotcell sandboxes: Docker, Firecracker or Apple Virtualization microVMs. Your real API key never enters a sandbox; each one gets a short-lived, spend-capped token. Bring any provider: OpenRouter, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Ollama and 20+ more. Serverless Objects adds Workers-compatible durable state for previews.

We give engineering, finance, and FinOps teams a single platform to track, attribute, and optimise API spend across every provider. Costs are broken down by dimensions you define, matching how your business already reports its financials, whether that's by team, product, cost centre, or anything else.
CTOs get a single pane of glass to enforce model governance and prevent shadow usage. CFOs get finance-grade reporting for forecasting, budgeting, and chargebacks, attributed using their own reporting structure, not a rigid template. FinOps teams get real-time, multi-provider cost data that slots straight into the workflows they already run for cloud.
If your organisation uses LLM APIs and the board is asking "what are we spending and why?" we're the answer.
Key Features:
Multi-provider cost tracking · User-defined attribution dimensions · Real-time spend alerts · Chargeback and showback reporting · Model governance and shadow usage prevention · Finance-grade export and forecasting
