Experience your computer like never before.

Karnelian is like a legion of agents at your fingertips — a guild that grinds your life tasks, clears your busywork, and gets to know you on a deeper level. Enter a task, and sit back for a truly autonomous experience.

A local agentic workspace for your business and your life.

To-do list tracking

Keep a running list of what you owe yourself, what's overdue, and what's blocked — and only ping you when something actually needs a decision.

Teach a skill, level it up

Show Karnelian a workflow once. The city remembers, and every run after is faster, cheaper, and quieter.

Tame the inbox

Sort threads by what actually needs you, draft the easy replies, and surface the three messages worth your attention today.

Manage your Finances

Collect receipts from email and statements, track spending, build monthly reports, and flag anything that looks off.

Make calls for you

Place the routine calls you keep putting off — book the appointment, confirm the reservation, chase the status update — and hand you a clean summary of what was said.

Research scout

Pull sources for a topic, summarize the papers and posts, file the notes in your lore vault so the work compounds.

Meals & groceries

Plan a week of meals around what's already in the pantry, build the shopping list, and queue up the order for pickup or delivery.

Build Apps

Create apps and build workflows for work, life, and everything in between.

Weekly planning

Lay out the week ahead — meetings, deadlines, errands, downtime — and rebalance when something slips so you always know what's next.

Put them to work.

Think of it like hiring a small crew that lives on your computer. Lian runs the team, the others handle email, calendars, errands, research, and follow-ups. They remember what you like, ask before doing anything risky, and keep a clean record of every move — so you can hand off the busywork without losing track.

Your Daily Crew

  • Wakes up and checks your list
  • Knows what's urgent vs. what can wait

Runs On Your Computer

  • Switch AI brains anytime
  • Light enough for a laptop

Safe By Default

  • Each agent says what it needs upfront
  • Only touches what you allowed
  • Can't go rogue or break things
  • One agent's mistake stays contained

Remembers Everything

  • Recalls past chats and decisions
  • Knows your preferences
  • Saves notes, links, contacts
  • Never starts from scratch

Receipt For Every Action

  • Full history of what happened
  • Nothing gets quietly changed
  • Proof you can audit anytime
  • See exactly who did what, when

You're Always In Charge

  • Big moves wait for your OK
  • One button pauses everything
  • Only you can grant new access
  • Asks first, acts second

Meet Lian, your lead agent.

Lian is your executive partner inside Karnelian. He is your single point of contact, knows your preferences inside and out, plans and organizes your tasks, and summons the right specialists from the crew whenever you need extra hands. Always asks before anything risky.

Your Personal Liaison

Lian is your main point of contact. You talk to him, he talks to the system. No noise, no clutter — just one clear channel for everything you need.

Deep Memory

He remembers every preference, past decision, and running project. The longer you work together, the better he gets at anticipating what you want.

Plans & Organizes

Breaks your goals into actionable tasks, sequences them intelligently, and keeps everything on track so nothing falls through the cracks.

Spawns Specialists

When a job needs a specific skill, Lian calls in the right sub-agent from the fleet and coordinates the handoff — so you do not have to manage the roster.

The Karnelian system stack.

Karnelian Core powers the city. Lian is the adaptive agent at the top of the stack, with access to every component — reading intent, picking skills, assigning workers, checking memory, asking policy, writing the ledger, sparking with MAGIC, and speaking through channels.

MAGIC

Lian taps MAGIC when a choice needs spark.

How the city stays safe.

Every chameleon in the city plays by the same rules: only touch what you've been given seals for, pause at the tower for the risky stuff, ring the bell when something feels off, and write every move into the chronicle.

Capability Seals

Every chameleon carries only the seals you grant. No seal, no spell — Lian can't reach for tools you never handed over.

The Approval Tower

Risky quests pause at your tower until you stamp them. You stay in the loop for anything that could break the save file.

Delete filesTouch prod configSend external messagesDestructive commandsRead secretsLive deploys

Ring the City Bell

Pull the bell and the whole city drops to safe mode — risky capabilities suspended, only torchlight operations allowed.

The Chronicle

Every privileged move is etched into a tamper-resistant scroll. Review the chronicle whenever you want to know who did what.

Sigil of Authority

Owner-signed sigils and worker identity prove who asked, who approved, and who cast every spell in the city.

What gives Karnelian a soul.

Three specialties make this more than software. A soul that holds its character, a pulse of real-world randomness, and a system that rewrites itself a little every night.

Mantras

Every agent carries a code it lives by — a personality that doesn't drift, a voice that stays its own. Karnelian isn't one assistant pretending to be many. It's a fleet, each with a soul.

Heartbeat

A controlled pulse of entropy runs beneath every decision. Just enough chaos to stay creative, surprising, human — never the same answer twice when the moment calls for something new.

Loops that Build Loops

Workflows refine themselves. Patterns you repeat become rituals the city remembers, and the version you wake up to tomorrow is a little sharper than the one you left tonight.

Watch Your City Evolve.

Start with a starter city — a few chameleons handling your daily quests. The longer you play, the more the kingdom expands: new districts, new agents, new wings of your work running themselves while you supervise.

  1. Lv 1 — Now

    The Starter City

    Local models, a working spellbook, and a city you can actually walk through. Small party, real work.

  2. Lv 2 — Next

    Lian Levels Up

    Deeper memory, sharper approvals, more districts on the map, more agents in the rotation.

  3. Lv 3 — Later

    The Agentic OS

    An always-on city woven into your machine. Your work idles forward while you supervise from the tower.

Open source. Built by the guild.

For the introverts, the dungeon masters, the OSRS lifers and idle-game lovers who think their agents should do the grinding. Star the repo, build a skill, claim a district in the city.
