Multi-agent reasoning

The Council

Ask one question, get a debate. Personas with different expertise argue, search the web for evidence, rate each other and converge on a scored consensus.

  • Custom personas with their own model and voice
  • Live web search with cited sources
  • Full debate log, round by round
Hands-free

Full-screen voice

A real-time 3D holographic face that listens, blinks, follows your cursor and speaks back with a moving jaw.

  • Choose your microphone
  • Offline speech-to-text models or cloud recognition
  • Live captions and transcript panel
Automation

Agent browser

A built-in multi-tab browser that the agent drives step by step. You see every click and can take over at any time.

  • Navigate, read, click, type and screenshot
  • Multiple tabs per task
  • Action review before risky steps
Developers

Code workspace

Editor, file explorer, terminal and checkpoint history in one place. Import a repo from GitHub and let the agent work on it.

  • Ctrl+Shift+Space summons HEDES from any app
  • Checkpoints — roll back any change
  • Floating and in-chat terminals
  • Live HTML/SVG artifact previews
Integrations

Connectors & MCP

One-click connectors with recognizable icons, plus full Model Context Protocol support for any server you add.

  • GitHub · Slack · Notion
  • Brave Search, Context7, DeepWiki
  • Test a connector before you rely on it
Chat with your documents

Knowledge

Drop PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Markdown or code into a knowledge stack. Turn it on in the chat box and every answer is grounded in your files — with citations.

  • Scanned PDFs read with built-in OCR
  • Searched locally — no embedding API, works offline
  • Answers cite the document and passage they used
Marketplace

Extensions

A VS Code-style marketplace for AI tools. Browse thousands of extensions from the official MCP Registry, install in one click, enable, disable or uninstall any time.

  • Instant local search over the whole registry
  • Versions pinned at install; tokens encrypted
  • The AI asks before using a new extension
Automation

Skills, tasks & memory

Teach HEDES reusable skills, schedule recurring jobs that run only after you approve them, and keep long-term memory on your disk.

  • Skill drafts and promotion
  • Approval re-required when a task changes
  • Desktop notifications
Developers

AI coding agent

Works like the best coding agents: looks first, then changes, then checks its own work.

  • Reads, searches and lists project files before editing, with a project map of what lives where
  • Preview errors and terminal errors go back to the AI with "Fix with AI"
  • Understands compiler errors from 12+ languages and points at the root cause
  • Optional planner model: a strong model plans, your model writes the code
  • Undo a whole task in one click; long chats are summarised automatically
  • Refuses rewrites that would drop unrelated code, and undoes edits that break syntax
Max plan

Bots

Persistent AI teammates that plan, build, review and hand work to each other, each with its own chats, files, memory and rules.

  • Home and Inbox: see who is working and what needs you
  • Rules per bot (allow, ask, never) with a fixed safety list; every decision logged
  • Routines every N minutes, daily, weekly, once or by webhook; bots can create their own
  • Memory by topic, files in and out, usage and monthly budget
  • Browser with take-over, and saved sign-ins the bot never sees
Android

Phone remote

Control HEDES on your PC from your phone, end-to-end encrypted.

  • Live answers with code blocks and quick actions
  • Approve, stop, undo, switch projects, see the terminal
  • Notification when work finishes or needs you
BYOK
