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 nowThe Agentic OS — free · open source · local-first
An open-source runtime that lives on your machine. Tell it what you need in plain language — it briefs you, tracks your pipeline, runs your overnight jobs. No terminal. No Docker. No code. Running in five minutes.

01 — Workflows
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.
Before you're awake, it's read your inbox, your calendar, and your feeds — and hands you the three things that actually matter.
PersonalAvailable nowYour agent sorts the noise, drafts the replies, and queues them for one tap of approval. You never start at zero.
Personal + BusinessComing via the DenDrop in raw material — it drafts, formats per platform, and lines up the calendar. You approve; it ships everywhere.
Personal + BusinessComing via the DenEvery contact, deal, and “I'll circle back” tracked — with the next move surfaced before you forget it.
BusinessAvailable nowDrop in a transcript. Out come the decisions, the action items, and the follow-up drafts — already written.
BusinessComing via the DenIt reads the sources, keeps what matters, and remembers it — so your second question is smarter than your first.
Personal + BusinessAvailable nowHand it the long task — the code review, the data pull, the report — and find it done in the morning.
Personal + BusinessAvailable nowSet up and run agents for local businesses, white-labeled. The runtime does the work; you keep the retainer.

BusinessComing via the Den02 — For people, not just devs
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 at launch — early access is opening now. No build chain, no dependencies to chase.
Type it like you'd text a person. The runtime understands intent, not syntax.
Start from a workflow that already works. Tweak it; don't build it from scratch.
Deny-by-default. Every action that touches the outside world waits for your yes.
03 — The field
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.
| Dimension | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for non-developers | ✓Yes — plain language, one command, no terminal needed | ✕No — curl-to-bash, terminal-first | ✕No — aimed at AI engineers | ~Partial — desktop app, dev-framed | ✕No — research harness for builders |

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.
04 — The pride
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.
Other runtimes have a repo. Lion's Paw has a roster.
05 — Where it's going
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.
Talk to your runtime out loud, hands-free — the most natural interface there is.
The same agent on your laptop, your phone, and in the background — your work follows you.
A module for every job you'd hire for — business, content, trading, agency — installable in a tap.
Earn a credential that proves you can build with agents, and get listed where businesses hire.
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.
One command. Free and open source. The runtime takes it from there.
