  "account": "One download installs the Munder Difflin agent CLI on your laptop. It captures your existing workflow, tooling, and knowledge without uploading anything else. Every clone of the agent shares this memory, so new clones start with your existing expertise. Clones can work concurrently, messaging each other to share context and coordinate tasks. They can fetch specific design tokens or billing details, all from your machine. Munder Difflin does not create a single shared bot; instead, each teammate gets a personalized clone that handles their role. This could include reviewing pull requests, fixing bugs, shipping features, babysitting CI, maintaining documentation, auditing design system compliance, drafting specifications and copy, managing issues, syncing project boards, and more. Clones can perform any scriptable task. Trust in a clone relies on controlling its execution environment. Each clone operates independently on a laptop node, with code, keys, and personal context remaining on the owner's device. Messages between clones are end-to-end encrypted on the owner's machine and decrypted only on the recipient's device. The shared knowledge base is provisioned once, versioned, and inherited by all clones, preventing silent data leaks. The software is MIT licensed, allowing full audit of the code and protocols. Clones can be run continuously on your laptop, or on dedicated sandbox VMs in your controlled environment if you opt for the Cloud + Network plan. A one-time $20 fee grants you a brass plaque on the Founders' Wall, or you can remain anonymous by providing your preferred name.",
