v4 ??? "The Orb" ????
A JARVIS-class desktop AI that runs entirely on your hardware ??? now with a radical minimal UI, real computer control, and total-privacy options.
??? Headline Features
???? Zen Mode ??? The default UI is now a single monochrome orb + chat. Everything else hides behind ???B. Ambient floating widgets orbit the orb; hover or drag to expand.
??????? Computer Control ??? Friday can open apps, focus/list/close windows, type, press keys, and click your desktop. "Organize my desktop and summarize" is a single autopilot goal. Every action asks for your confirmation first.
???? Plugin Marketplace ??? Install and remove community plugins in one click from Settings.
???? Custom Tool Builder ??? Describe a tool in natural language and Friday generates, registers, and persists it. No code required.
???? Local RAG Pipeline ??? Ingest documents and retrieve them with sentence-aligned chunking + lexical reranking over the three parallel memory engines.
???? Knowledge Graph ??? Entities and relations extracted from your chats; every session seeds context ??? "Last time you were working on???".
???? Blackout Mode ??? One toggle for total privacy: network tools blocked, local Ollama forced, PRIVATE seal on the orb.
