Apps run as managed services you can start, stop + monitor.
The cloud rents intelligence.

1 Choose an Agent
Pick from featured Companion Agents or install from the CI Store.
3 Run locally
Agents run as managed services with UI surfaces in web, desktop, or spatial clients.
2 Grant permissions
Agents request explicit access to data + devices (camera, files, browser, etc.).
4 Update safely
One-click updates with rollback-friendly versioning (as CI-OS ships releases).
On-Prem Agents
Local, permissioned services that automate tasks, augment memory, and power spatial experiences, so your context stays yours.
