MEET
CLIFFORD.

CLIFFORD is a control plane for local AI backends. Backend invocations become named profiles. Coding agents attach with one word. One compatible endpoint fronts every backend you own.

$ curl -fsSL https://clifford.bot/install.sh | bash
AGENT AND INFERENCE BACKEND BINARIES NOT INCLUDED.
USAGE Before: environment variables, command-line flags, and configuration files scattered across multiple tools.

After: a single, unified control plane for all your local AI backends.
