LAYAI Connect is a free Windows app for opting into bounded AI research tasks. Start or pause sharing, see server-recorded ready time and accepted results, and track participation points in one account. The current release supports limited task types; reusable knowledge capsules and broader cross-device coordination remain research goals. A community airdrop targets May 2027 with monthly snapshots. Points are participation records, not tokens or guaranteed allocations.

Could you build this?
Partial The client GUI and point dashboard are easily vibe-coded, but securely distributing and validating arbitrary computation across untrusted consumer PCs requires complex distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The system requires a native Windows service communicating via gRPC/WebSockets with an orchestration backend (like Ray or custom schedulers). The hardest part is sandbox isolation (using Windows AppContainers or lightweight VMs) to safely execute untrusted research code on user machines alongside Byzantine-fault-tolerant verification to detect forged compute results. This requires deep systems security and distributed computing engineering expertise.
