Once you’ve completed onboarding, you’re on Ori’s Home screen . The prompt box is front and center — just start typing.
Try these Here’s a progression from simple to powerful, so you can feel what Ori is capable of:
1. Ask a question What's the difference between REST and GraphQL?
Ori responds like any AI — but it’s running locally, with your chosen model, and no data leaves your machine.
What files are in ~/Documents?
Ori reads your filesystem and shows the contents. It picked the read tool automatically — you didn’t have to specify anything.
3. Search the web Search the web for the best TypeScript frameworks in 2026
Ori runs a web search, synthesizes the results, and gives you a summary with sources.
4. Remember something Remember that I'm working on a project called Atlas, it's a Next.js 15 app with Drizzle ORM
Ori saves this to its persistent memory . In future conversations — even days later — it knows about Atlas without you repeating yourself.
5. Use your screen Take a screenshot and describe what you see on my screen
Ori captures your display and describes the content. It can also click , type , scroll , and press keys — try asking it to interact with what it sees.
6. Create a scheduled task Every weekday at 9am, summarize the top 5 Hacker News stories
Ori creates a scheduled task that runs automatically. You’ll see results in your Home view.
You never need to tell Ori which tool to use. Behind the scenes, every request flows through a Skill Graph :
Your message → Skill Graph → Best 4-8 tools selected → Agent executes → Memory updated → Response streamed
The Skill Graph is a semantic map of all available tools. It scores each tool against your query and picks the best fit — zero extra tokens used for routing.
Conversations and threads
Each conversation is a thread — it persists and you can revisit it anytime
Press ⌘ K
