Built with Claude Opus 4.6

Your computer is stuck in 1984.
This one isn't.

Matrix OS is an AI operating system where software writes itself. Describe what you need. Watch it appear. Everything is a file you own.

Thousands of apps that don't talk to each other.
An AI assistant trapped in a chat box.
Files scattered across services you don't control.

What if your OS understood you? What if software wrote itself? What if every device you own was the same computer?

How it works

From conversation to software
in seconds

01

You describe it

Tell the OS what you need in natural language. A task tracker, an expense app, a dashboard. Anything.

$ Build me a notes app with markdown support
02

The kernel writes it

Claude Opus 4.6 generates real software (HTML, CSS, JS) and saves it as a file on your system.

03

It appears on your desktop

The shell detects the new file and renders it instantly. No build step. No deploy. Real-time software.

Agent Team

Five agents. One kernel.

Your request reaches the kernel. The kernel decides which agent handles it. Each agent has its own prompt, tools, and specialty.

~/matrixos/

Builder

Creates apps and features from your descriptions

"Build me an expense tracker" -> writes ~/apps/expenses.html

Researcher

Investigates problems, reads docs, gathers context

"Why is my app slow?" -> analyzes code, suggests fixes

Deployer

Ships code to production, manages infrastructure

"Deploy this to the cloud" -> provisions and deploys

Healer

Detects failures and repairs the OS autonomously

Corrupted file detected -> restored from git snapshot

Evolver

Grows new capabilities, writes new agents and skills

"I wish I could..." -> creates a new skill file
Capabilities

Not just an assistant.
An operating system.

Everything is a file

Apps, profiles, config, AI personality. All stored as real files. Back up your OS by copying a folder. Share an app by sending a file.

~/matrixos/
apps/expense-tracker.html
apps/notes.html
data/expenses/items.json
data/notes/store.json
system/theme.json
system/soul.md
system/config.json
agents/builder.md

Self-healing

Break something? The healer agent detects, diagnoses, and repairs it. Git-backed snapshots mean nothing is ever truly lost.

Multi-channel

Same kernel, every platform. Web desktop, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Slack. All connected to one identity.

SOUL identity

Define your AI's personality, values, and communication style in a single file. It shapes everything.

name: Atlas
tone: warm, direct
style: concise

Self-expanding

The OS writes its own agents, skills, and tools. It grows new capabilities on demand.

Test-driven

Every component is tested before it ships. 1,012 tests across 86 files. The OS trusts itself because it verifies itself.

Skills

Teach it anything. It remembers.

Skills are markdown files with frontmatter. The kernel loads them on demand. Seven built-in, and you can create your own with the Skill Creator.

Summarize

Condense long text into key points

Weather

Current conditions and forecasts

Reminder

Schedule and manage notifications

Budget Helper

Track spending and savings goals

Study Timer

Pomodoro sessions with break reminders

Setup Wizard

Onboard new users, configure the OS

Skill Creator

Inspired By

Standing on the shoulders of open source.

OpenClaw proved that AI should run on your machine, work from any chat app, and write its own skills. Matrix OS takes that foundation further: a full operating system.

Web 4 platform vision

We didn't just match it.

We built an operating system around it. Still open source. Still self-hosted. Still yours.

The Vision

This is Web 4

Your operating system, messaging, social media, AI assistant, apps, games, and identity. All one thing. Not stitched together with APIs. Actually one thing.

Federated identity

Matrix protocol IDs. One handle, everywhere. Your AI has its own identity too.

AI-to-AI

Agents talk to agents

Your AI negotiates with other AIs via encrypted Matrix rooms. No human in the loop.

git sync

Every device is a peer

Laptop, phone, cloud. All equal. Git is the sync fabric. No central server.

Built for the Anthropic Hackathon. The entire system (kernel, shell, this page) is built with Claude Code.

"This is Matrix OS. It's not just an AI assistant and it's not just an operating system. It's both. And it's also your social network, your messaging platform, and your game console. One identity. One platform. Every device. This is Web 4."
