We’ve Built AGI—Almost
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has long been the holy grail of the tech world—a system capable of performing a wide variety of tasks as well as (or better than) humans. While we’re not quite there yet, our on-device AI platform Levlex takes a tremendous leap toward making this vision a reality. In this blog post, we’ll explore what AGI typically means, how Levlex fulfills much of that promise, and why we think Levlex is on the cusp of achieving an AGI-like experience that’s both powerful and practical.
1. What Is AGI, Really?
Artificial General Intelligence is often defined as an AI system that can handle a broad range of intellectual tasks at a human-level or superhuman-level of competence. Unlike “narrow AI,” which can only manage a single specialized goal (e.g., playing chess or recognizing faces), an AGI must:
- Adapt to New Tasks: Tackle challenges it hasn’t explicitly been programmed for.
- Demonstrate Breadth: Work competently across multiple domains—language, vision, coding, decision-making, logical reasoning, and more.
- Exceed or Match Human Ability: Perform these tasks at a level that is at least comparable to an educated adult, or even surpass humans in speed, accuracy, or consistency.
The concept has captivated researchers and the public for decades. But the real question remains: How do you build it—and how do you know when you’re close?
2. The Traditional Barriers to AGI
2.1 Fragmented AI Services
Historically, AI has been largely fragmented: one cloud tool for language translation, another for scheduling, another for spreadsheet analysis. This approach made it hard to orchestrate complex workflows or unify data across different services—let alone approach anything resembling “general intelligence.”
2.2 Limited Access to Infrastructure
Powerful AI typically required remote server farms or cloud-based supercomputers. Users reliant on these services faced unpredictable fees, rate limits, and privacy issues.
2.3 Narrow Capabilities
Most AI solutions excel in a single domain (e.g., writing text) but falter if asked to read your files, schedule events, or interpret spreadsheet data. The moment you need a different domain of expertise, you have to jump to another specialized product.
As a result, AI experiences often remain limited to “prompt to text,” rather than “prompt to action.”
3. How Levlex Gets Us Closer
At Levlex, we set out to create a single on-device AI system that tackles every major bottleneck facing modern users and organizations. Our thesis was simple: bring all the essential AI capabilities under one roof—your own computer—and integrate them so fluidly that the AI begins to feel like a general intelligence.
Here’s how Levlex accomplishes that:
-
On-Device Execution
- Privacy & Speed: Levlex runs on your hardware. You own your data, you decide which tasks are offline, and you enjoy minimal latency for real-time responsiveness.
- No Surprises: No hidden cloud fees or usage-based throttles. You decide if and when Levlex connects to external AI providers (like OpenAI).
-
Unified Feature Set
- Core Abilities: With built-in agents for coding, spreadsheet analysis, image generation, note-taking, scheduling, web navigation, and more, Levlex covers a massive range of tasks.
- Custom Workflows: Chain these features into elaborate automations—shifting from “prompt to text” into “prompt to action.”
-
Advanced Reasoning & Adaptation
- Chambers (Multi-AI Dialogue): Multiple AI personas can converse to brainstorm, problem-solve, or simulate real-world negotiations.
- Reasoning & Knowledge Discovery: Levlex can autonomously navigate large databases or the internet, read entire research paper repositories, and synthesize insights.
- Self-Improving Logic: Every time you guide Levlex or critique its output, it refines its approach, becoming more robust across tasks.
-
Human-Level or Better Performance
- Speed & Scale: A single human can read only so many pages or type only so many lines of code per day. Levlex can parse entire libraries of data or write complex code in minutes.
- Creativity & Diligence: From generating unique images to writing comprehensive reports or code modules, Levlex performs at or beyond human efficiency, never tiring or losing focus.
4. Why We Call It “AGI—Almost”
“AGI is commonly defined as an AI that can complete a wide variety of tasks at or beyond the level of humans.” Levlex checks many boxes here:
4.1 Wide Variety of Tasks
-
Research & Analysis
- Levlex can deep-dive into scientific papers, legal documents, or news archives like GDELT, extracting key statistics, summarizing complex arguments, and drawing connections a human might miss.
-
Office & Admin Work
- Schedule appointments, manage emails, draft proposals, generate slideshows, and handle spreadsheets—all within a single, integrated system.
-
Creative Projects
- Brainstorm story ideas, craft marketing copy, design images with the Image Generator, or even create entire presentations using the Presentation Generator.
-
Software Development
- Code Mode assists with coding tasks: writing boilerplate, debugging, or auditing your repositories for security vulnerabilities.
-
Math & Data Science
- From simple equations to advanced computations, Math Mode can solve problems rapidly, while the Spreadsheet or Code Execution Agent interprets and transforms data on the fly.
4.2 Performance Near Human-Level or Better
- High-Volume Data: Levlex can process volumes of documents and data quickly—tasks that would overwhelm a human in both time and cognitive load.
- Consistency & Accuracy: Humans get fatigued, distracted, or biased. Levlex remains attentive, providing outputs with uniform quality.
- Learning & Adaptation: Its customizable nature allows it to absorb new data, adapt to new tasks, and “learn” from user feedback—mirroring a key aspect of human intelligence: continuous improvement.
4.3 Generalization & Adaptation
- Agents for Everything: With 30+ built-in agents (Browser Use, Docuchat, Quickchat, etc.) and the ability to create custom CLI Agents or Prompt Agents, Levlex can pivot across drastically different domains without missing a beat.
- Prompt to Action: The system doesn’t just talk—it acts. For instance, if you prompt Levlex to “Find relevant research on sustainable energy and create a 5-slide summary presentation,” it will do so, bridging the gap between raw text output and real-world workflow automation.
5. A Day in the Life of Near-AGI
Imagine you’re an entrepreneur juggling multiple projects:
-
Morning Research
- Levlex’s Knowledge Discovery agent scans 50 newly published research articles in your field, summarizing them into bullet points.
- The system highlights key insights—complete with citations and potential next steps.
-
Midday Task Orchestration
- The Calendar Agent schedules your next investor pitch based on existing commitments.
- Levlex’s Workflow triggers an automated email draft to your marketing team, summarizing new promotional ideas generated via competitor analyses.
-
Afternoon Development
- Code Mode reviews your repository, flags a security vulnerability, and suggests an optimal fix.
- You ask Levlex to push the updated code to your GitHub repo, run tests, and deploy the fix—fully automated.
-
Evening Creativity

- The Image Generator crafts visuals that match your brand aesthetic, ready to be integrated into your slideshow.
Every step feels seamless because Levlex acts as a multi-domain AI partner, moving between tasks with near-human fluidity.
6. Addressing Skepticism and Limitations
Claiming “We’ve built AGI—almost” is still a bold statement. We acknowledge that:
- AGI definitions vary: Some definitions require self-awareness or consciousness, which Levlex does not claim to have.
- Levlex is advanced yet evolving: We continually refine our models and integrations to broaden its capabilities and reliability, inching closer to an AGI-like standard.
- Practical effectiveness: From a real-world standpoint—range and quality of tasks—Levlex delivers performance that feels like a significant leap toward general intelligence.
We welcome ongoing discussions about the boundaries of “true” AGI. But in practice, Levlex already enables tasks that many would consider hallmarks of a general-purpose AI.
7. The On-Device Advantage
One of the biggest differentiators is running near-AGI on your own hardware:
- Privacy: Your data, usage patterns, and workflows never have to leave your machine.
- Cost Control: No surprise fees or usage caps from a cloud vendor.
- Reliability: Even offline, Levlex keeps working, ensuring your projects and tasks remain uninterrupted.
- Customizability & Trust: You can tweak the system to your specific needs, integrate your security protocols, and rest assured that the AI is truly yours rather than a service you’re renting.
