Most "AI agent" apps today fall into one of two camps: 1. **Thin chat wrappers** — they forward your message to an API and stream tokens back. No real tools, no file system access, no memory beyond the context window. 2. **CLI launchers** — they spawn `claude` or `codex` as a subprocess and forward the output. If you don't have those CLIs installed (or don't want to pay for their subscriptions), you get nothing. **KinetAios is neither.** At its core is **Direct Engine** (we call it "Kaios")

KinetAios is a local-first AI agent dashboard. Run multiple sessions in parallel, switch between a built-in ReAct agent, Claude Code and Codex, bring your own model (OpenAI-compatible / Anthropic), plug in any MCP server, and keep everything on your machine — SQLite history, long-term memory, no account required.
