Magnify what
you're capable of.
PAI is an open-source comprehensive life management system. A dedicated Digital Assistant that knows who you are, what you're working toward, and moves you from your current state to your desired state — continuously, on hardware you own.
The context layer between you and the engines.
Bottom: AI agent systems like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi — the engines. Top: you — your life, work, and goals. PAI sits in between as the context-based life operating system that knows who you are and translates what you want into what the engines should do.
The harness fades into infrastructure. The DA becomes the interface.
Know who you are. Write it down. Pursue it.
TELOS is the context engine that captures the whole of you and translates it into action — your identity, your pursuit, and what you're learning. It reconciles where you are today with where you're trying to go, continuously, file by file. Your Digital Assistant reads TELOS before it does anything else.
The whole game: current state → desired state. Everything else is figuring out how to close the gap.
Your life, quantified across five dimensions. Every minute.
PAI runs a statusline at the top of every terminal window. Real-time temperature, the five Life OS dimensions (Health, Creativity, Freedom, Relationships, Finances), loaded context files, token burn rate, learning histograms across 6m / 1d / 1mo, and a rotating aphorism. This is what your AI sees when it helps you — and what you see when you open a shell.
Continuous learning. Not stateless chat.
A well-designed system with a mediocre model will outperform a brilliant model with poor scaffolding. Every time. PAI's memory is the scaffolding. Three tiers (hot / warm / cold), signals captured from every interaction, corrections that become rules, preferences that become defaults. The system stops asking the same questions because it writes down your answers.
A team of a thousand. Working on your life.
The aspiration: a team of 1,000 or 10,000 people working for you on your personal and business goals. The reality: persistent assistant plus parallel specialists. Your DA is a friend, coach, mentor — not a stateless agent. When depth is needed it dispatches specialists in parallel, each with its own personality and voice, each scoped, each background.
Ambient awareness. Your DA has a voice.
ElevenLabs TTS on every response. Prosody enhancement so speech sounds natural — not the default robot. Named character voices per agent. You don't look at a chat window. You work, and your system tells you when something's done, when something's off, when a decision needs you.

Clone it. Run the installer. You're running PAI.
The GUI installer detects your system, installs prerequisites (Bun, Git, Claude Code), asks for your identity and preferences, and configures the repo into ~/.claude/. USER/ files are preserved on every upgrade.
Upgrading from an earlier version? The installer auto-detects existing installs, merges settings non-destructively, and never overwrites your USER/ files or custom hooks.
People are building this with us.
