# Open Aya
> A working browser beta of an AI operating layer built to preserve context, act with permission, keep its work inspectable, and remain available wherever the web runs.

## What is Open Aya?
Open Aya is a project-native intelligent browser: the browser is the workspace, Aya is the operating system, projects are the filesystem, memory is persistent, capabilities are invisible services, and evidence is the trust layer.

Instead of disposable chat threads, work is organized around objectives. Every objective becomes a project you can leave and return to with context restored from persistent memory. Aya routes work across specialized agents and models, while evaluation and receipt surfaces make supported claims inspectable.

## Product contract
- [Beta] Context that survives the chat: Aya can recall governed memories across sessions and rebuild its working state from canonical files. Proof: https://openaya.com/demos/memory
- [Available now] One operating layer across tools: Aya routes work through applications, voice, workflows, multimodal input, and MCP tools. Proof: https://openaya.com/capabilities
- [Available now] Portable files are the durable asset: Versioned machine-readable files are canonical. Databases, embeddings, and browser storage are derived indexes. Proof: https://openaya.com/spec/disk
- [Beta] Private reference disk: Supabase Storage is the working reference adapter with authenticated, per-user canonical state. Proof: https://openaya.com/spec/disk
- [Planned] Bring your own external disk: Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and MCP filesystem adapters will implement the same provider-neutral contract. Proof: https://openaya.com/roadmap

## Honest boundaries
Supabase Storage is the current private reference disk. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and MCP filesystem adapters are planned, not shipped. "Self-improving" refers to governed per-user memory and evaluated system-prompt experiments, not autonomous foundation-model weight training. Evaluation pages distinguish measured data from missing data.

## Technical architecture
- Built with Next.js App Router and TypeScript
- Supabase backend with Row Level Security
- Global Spotlight search
- Mobile-responsive, touch-optimized interactions
- Light and dark themes using semantic design tokens
