Features
THE CANONICAL SET#1 CONNECT
Lives Everywhere
Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, CLI — and a growing list of platforms. One agent, one memory, every surface.
#2 REMEMBER
Persistent Memory
It learns your projects, auto-generates skills, and never forgets how it solved a problem.
#3 SCHEDULE
Focused Automation
Natural-language scheduling for reports, backups, and briefings — running unattended through the gateway, focused every time.
#4 DELEGATE
Tasks Multiplied
Isolated subagents with their own conversations, terminals, and Python RPC scripts for zero-context-cost pipelines.
#5 SEARCH
Browse the Web
Web search, browser automation, vision, image generation, text-to-speech, and multi-model reasoning.
#6 EXPERIMENT
Isolated Sandboxing
Five backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal — with container hardening and namespace isolation.
