DESCEND

01 — Workflows

One runtime. Every workflowyou'd hire someone for.

You don't configure Lion's Paw. You tell it what you want done — once — and it runs on schedule, in the background, and reports back. Here's what people run it for.

Morning Brief

Before you're awake, it's read your inbox, your calendar, and your feeds — and hands you the three things that actually matter.

PersonalAvailable now

Inbox Triage

Your agent sorts the noise, drafts the replies, and queues them for one tap of approval. You never start at zero.

Personal + BusinessComing via the Den

Content Factory

Drop in raw material — it drafts, formats per platform, and lines up the calendar. You approve; it ships everywhere.

Personal + BusinessComing via the Den

CRM & Follow-ups

Every contact, deal, and “I'll circle back” tracked — with the next move surfaced before you forget it.

BusinessAvailable now

Meeting Intelligence

Drop in a transcript. Out come the decisions, the action items, and the follow-up drafts — already written.

BusinessComing via the Den

Research & Knowledge

It reads the sources, keeps what matters, and remembers it — so your second question is smarter than your first.

Personal + BusinessAvailable now

Overnight Jobs

Hand it the long task — the code review, the data pull, the report — and find it done in the morning.

Personal + BusinessAvailable now

Run an AI Agency

Set up and run agents for local businesses, white-labeled. The runtime does the work; you keep the retainer.

BusinessComing via the Den

Lead Generation

It finds the prospects that fit, enriches them, and fills your list — while you work the ones already in it.

BusinessComing via the Den

Sales Automation

Sequences, follow-ups, and replies that go out on time, every time. Your pipeline never goes cold.

BusinessComing via the Den

DM Funnels

Comments become conversations, conversations become booked calls — qualified and routed while you sleep.

Growth Reports

Every Monday: what grew, what stalled, and the three moves for the week — pulled from your real numbers.

02 — For people, not just devs

You don't need to be technical. You need to know what you want done.

Most agent tools were built by developers, for developers. They assume you're comfortable in a terminal, fluent in Docker, and willing to read a config file. Lion's Paw assumes none of that.

You install it with one command. Then you talk to it, in plain language, the same way you'd brief an assistant. No commands to memorize. No YAML to edit. When it needs your sign-off, it asks; nothing runs behind your back.

Developers get the full depth — a Rust runtime, a scriptable CLI, a headless mode, the whole open-source core. Everyone else gets the part that matters: tell it what you want, watch it get done.

One command

One command at launch — early access is opening now. No build chain, no dependencies to chase.

Plain language voice on the roadmap

Type it like you'd text a person. The runtime understands intent, not syntax.

Templates, not blank pages Den catalog

Start from a workflow that already works. Tweak it; don't build it from scratch.

You approve, then it acts

Deny-by-default. Every action that touches the outside world waits for your yes.

03 — The field

Other runtimes were built for the terminal. This one was built for you.

The open-source agent space is full of capable tools. Most share one blind spot: they stop at the runtime. No path to learn it, no marketplace to extend it, no community to run it with — and a setup wall that loses everyone who isn't a developer. Here's the honest landscape.

Credit where it's due: DeerFlow (open-source, ByteDance, ~70K GitHub stars) is a serious long-horizon research-and-build harness. Goose (Block) ships a genuinely good developer desktop agent. Hermes (Nous Research, MIT) is a capable function-calling runtime for AI engineers. Strong tools — for developers. Lion's Paw competes on a different axis: the runtime is the start, and the academy, marketplace, and community are what take a non-developer from install to outcome.

Everyone else hands you a runtime. We hand you a runtime, the path to master it, the modules to extend it, and the people to build with.

The path to master it

Free to install. Built to grow with you.

When you're ready to run it for real — your business, your content, your pipeline — the Academy takes you from your first conversation with the runtime to a team of agents working while you don't.

Explore the Academy →The runtime stays free. Forever. This is for the growth.

04 — The pride

The runtime is free. The reason to stay is everyone else running it.

A tool you install alone is a tool you abandon alone. Lion's Paw is built the other way around: every install drops you into a community of people shipping the same way you do.

The DenMarketplace

Don't build from scratch.

Browse agent modules by category — business ops, content, trading, agency. Some ship free with your install; the rest you add as you grow.

05 — Where it's going

We're building the runtime for the next decade, not the next demo.

Lion's Paw runs on your machine today. Here's the line we're building toward — and we'd rather tell you the plan than pretend it's already done.

Voice-native roadmap

Talk to your runtime out loud, hands-free — the most natural interface there is.

Desktop + mobile, one runtime desktop in-flight

The same agent on your laptop, your phone, and in the background — your work follows you.

The full Den catalog roadmap

A module for every job you'd hire for — business, content, trading, agency — installable in a tap.

Certified, hireable builders roadmap

Earn a credential that proves you can build with agents, and get listed where businesses hire.

Your business, fully run the line we're on

From morning brief to closed deal — a runtime that handles the operational reality so you handle the judgment calls.

Install it now. Grow into the rest as we ship it.

Install it tonight.Wake up to what it built.

One command. Free and open source. The runtime takes it from there.
