OpenOri is built to be a complete AI companion on your desktop. Here’s everything it can do out of the box.

​

Core capabilities

​

Persistent memory

OpenOri remembers what you tell it — across every conversation, forever.

• Automatically extracts facts, preferences, and patterns
• Organized into a tiered system: always-loaded summaries, detailed context on demand
• Toggle Recall on/off to control when memories are injected
• View, search, and delete memories in Settings

→ Learn more about memory

​

Computer use

OpenOri can see and control your screen — like a human sitting at your desk. → Learn more about computer use

​

Reminders & scheduled tasks

OpenOri handles time so you don’t have to — from quick reminders to autonomous recurring jobs.

• Quick reminders — “Remind me to call Sarah in 30 minutes” → fires a toast + OS notification
• Recurring alerts — “Every weekday at 9am, remind me to check my email”
• Autonomous agent jobs — “Every morning, summarize my GitHub PRs” → runs tools, produces results
• Auto-cleanup — one-shot reminders delete themselves after firing
• Full CRUD — list, update, reschedule, cancel, or clear all from conversation
• Manage from the Schedules panel in the sidebar — always accessible

→ Learn more about reminders & scheduled tasks

​

Ambient intelligence

OpenOri works in the background — monitoring your services and surfacing what matters without you asking.

• Background cycle — checks your connected services every 5 minutes
• Smart timing — quiet hours (11PM–7AM), burst-on-focus after idle
• Triage learning — learns from what you engage with vs. dismiss
• Native notifications — OS-level alerts even when OpenOri is minimized

→ Learn more about ambient intelligence

​

Execution plans

For complex, multi-step work, OpenOri creates execution plans — structured breakdowns with tracked phases and substeps.

• Multi-phase plans — break big tasks into manageable steps
• Live status tracking — pending, in progress, done, blocked, skipped
• Sidebar panel — view all plans and their progress at a glance
• Editable — ask OpenOri to adjust, skip, or re-order phases as you go

→ Learn more about execution plans

​

Notifications & inbox

OpenOri can send you native desktop notifications and stores them in a persistent inbox.

• OS-native alerts — macOS, Windows, and Linux notification systems
• Works in background — get notified even when OpenOri is minimized to the tray
• Persistent inbox — every notification stored, with unread count and one-click clear
• Pairs with schedules — scheduled tasks can notify you when results are ready

→ Learn more about notifications

​

Embedded terminal

A full terminal panel lives inside OpenOri — powered by xterm.js with real PTY sessions.

• Multiple tabs — run several sessions in parallel
• Resizable — drag to resize between 120px and 600px
• Live output — when OpenOri runs a command, output streams in real time
• Theme-aware — matches your dark/light theme automatically
• Toggle with Ctrl+`

→ Learn more about the terminal

​

Artifacts & file preview

OpenOri proposes file changes as reviewable artifacts — not just code dumps.

• Apply / Skip / Edit — review every file change before it hits disk
• Live HTML preview — see rendered HTML in a sandboxed iframe with viewport switching
• SVG rendering — vector graphics displayed inline
• Markdown rendering — formatted prose with full styling
• Monaco editor — edit files with syntax highlighting, Cmd+S save, and dirty indicators
• Diff view — side-by-side comparison for modifications

→ Learn more about artifacts

​

Connectors

Connect OpenOri to your digital life via MCP (Model Context Protocol): → Learn more about connectors

​

Skill routing

Every request flows through a Skill Graph that picks the right tools automatically. You never need to specify which tool to use.

• 30+ built-in tools organized into semantic domains
• Zero-token routing — no LLM calls needed for tool selection
• Adapts based on your usage patterns

→ Learn more about skill routing

​

Community skill registry

Extend OpenOri’s capabilities by installing community skill packs — right from the Settings screen.

• One-click install — browse, search, and install skills without leaving OpenOri
• 10+ seed skills — email drafting, data analysis, git workflows, study helpers, and more
• Instant routing — installed skills are indexed into the Skill Graph immediately
• GitHub URL install — paste any GitHub repo URL to install custom skills
• Open contribution — create and share your own skills via PR
