Why Baray feels intelligent
It stores context, routes work, and lets orchestrators act.
User learning
Baray keeps useful project context, habits, and preferences so work starts faster over time.
Auto-learning
Each useful result can improve the next run instead of disappearing after one chat.
Planning
Orchestrators can prepare recurring actions, reminders, follow-ups, and maintenance routines.
Local execution
Codex CLI, MCP, Bash, scripts, and local commands can run only when you allow them.
Visible control
Sensitive actions stay explicit, reviewable, and close to your computer.
How to talk with Baray
Ask once from the app, a gateway, or a planned routine.
You do not need to learn a complex automation tool. Tell Baray what you want, choose what the orchestrator may access, and let the work move through the canvas.

Chat in the local app when you want focus, context, and visible controls.
From Telegram

By schedule

- Hybrid RAG memory
- Explicit tool permissions
- Optional Telegram gateway
Canvas channels
Teamspaces are channels fed by Baray.
Baray does not browse your personal address book. A Teamspace is a channel you build: a specialist, an agent team, or a visual pipeline with agents, commands, conditions, memory, and outputs.

Questions
What people usually ask before testing Baray.
Baray is intentionally specific: a local agent canvas for Mac users who want visible workflow automation, not another generic chatbot tab.
What is Baray?
Baray is a local-first agent canvas for Mac. It uses your approved context, Teamspaces, memory, gateways, and Codex CLI workflows to help plan and run work you can inspect.
Do I need Codex CLI to use Baray?
Yes. Baray Alpha requires Codex CLI and an OpenAI account because local execution, code tasks, scripts, and approved commands are routed through that foundation.
Is Baray private by default?
Baray is designed local-first: app data starts on your Mac, sensitive actions remain explicit, and external gateways such as Telegram are optional integrations you choose to connect.
What do Donna and Jake do?
Donna and Jake are orchestrator personas available inside Baray. They can route repeatable workflows such as website maintenance, research briefs, follow-ups, planning routines, local command runs, Teamspace orchestration, and scheduled checks.
