01 / MORE THAN ONE WAY TO GET TO WORKA question today.
A question today.
A better network tomorrow.
Explore how a switch replacement can move from a question to a project and a reviewed change. Start wherever your work starts.
Illustrative workflow, not a live run. Local chat and bounded project planning are implemented; device tools and change execution remain unconnected.
02 / INSIDE THE NEW DESKTOPOne workspace.
One workspace.
Different kinds of work.
A quiet Chat surface. Space for project briefs. Dedicated views for your Claws, workflows, evidence, and changes.
CURRENT UI / SAMPLE RESPONSE
A conversation gets its own space. Rounded message bubbles, readable Markdown, and a composer that stays close to the work.
A clearer back-and-forth.
Distinct user and assistant messages, native Markdown formatting, and exact-text copying make technical responses easier to work with.
Make yourself at home.
System, Light, and Dark appearance. Rounded controls. Settings in the sidebar. A sample case when you want to explore.
One Border.
Specialist Claws.
Your direction.
A conversation with your Border.
The Border is the conversational entry point. The first local adapter supports explicitly selected loopback Ollama models; real model compatibility remains a live acceptance gate.
A model for the task at hand.
The first design-member invocation returns a bounded project-planning artifact using its own model. Full member provisioning, capability routing, and external peering are still planned.
Specialists do not expand authority.
The broader design keeps tools and credentials scoped to each member. Lab evidence, a model switch, or a delegated task never grants production approval.
04 / BUILDING IN THE OPENA clear view of
A clear view of
what comes next.
The destination is ambitious.
Here’s where the work stands today.
The workspace foundation
The refreshed desktop and separate local Core are implemented.
- Chat history and project snapshots
- Rounded Chat UI and both themes
- Explicitly saved workspace drafts
Prove the local model flow
The Ollama adapter and design-member task are implemented. Live acceptance is the next gate.
- Real local model compatibility
- Chat and planning-artifact continuity
- Native desktop acceptance
Connected operations
Prove the workflow with real integrations before expanding its reach.
- Read-only device and MCP integrations
- Risk provisioning and scheduling
- Controlled execution and verification
