About SAM

SAM - Synthetic Autonomic Mind A native macOS AI assistant that remembers, gets work done, and keeps your data on your Mac. I built SAM for my wife.

SAM was made for her - and dedicated to her. Website Part of Synthetic Autonomic Mind What You Can Do With SAM SAM is a native macOS app for people who aren't developers.

Switch to cloud providers when you want more capability - you choose. Documents & Research Upload and ask questions about PDFs, Word docs, Excel files, and text files Research online wi

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
