SummaryFOCAL is a privacy-first, on-device multi-agent system that turns continuous desktop interaction streams into task-organized personal logs. A Filter, Brain, Record, and Memory agent cascade cuts token use by 60.4% and VLM calls by 72.3%, and on DesktopBench it holds Task Accuracy at 0.81 under A→B→A interruptions versus 0.03 for the baseline.
Why it mattersSpecific multi-agent architecture for on-device desktop summarization, with a benchmark showing task-isolated memory keeps accuracy where a baseline collapses on interruptions.
