AI at the Core

Talk to your OS through AI and system services.

Orion OS includes a built-in AI backend with intent-driven actions. Describe what you want, then launch apps and system actions from one interface.

User Edition

A clean environment for everyday use.

Fast startup, focused defaults, and a session flow that stays out of your way.

Developer Edition

Workspace-first tools for building Orion from Orion.

Source bootstrap scripts, build helpers, and developer workflows live directly inside the platform.

App Catalog

Core apps are declared in YAML.

System apps are defined in catalog/apps.yaml. Add apps, remove apps, or build your own entries with simple catalog definitions.
