Compare the same deliverable and acceptance criteria, including retries and your review time. Local execution does not establish local model processing.

Try one real task

1. Set up the host, model access, and the supported channel connection.
2. Start with a small task: Run personal-assistant workflows through configured channels and tools.
3. Check the result against your original files and acceptance criteria before expanding the workflow.

Before relying on this workflow, check the current plan, device, region, language, file format, and required permissions.

Bring your work with you

Document scheduled jobs and channel permissions. Test the replacement before retiring the old worker.

A reviewed brief can carry context. Native history, internal memory, account permissions, and running tasks are not assumed to transfer.
