Not a chatbot โ a distributed intelligence designed to ship things, not just talk about them.
Full-text search across facts, sessions, preferences, and skills. Recalls anything from any conversation.

Reviews conversations for memory signals and skill improvements. Automatically applies findings.
6 hierarchical domains with activation triggers, workflows, and quality checklists.
Generate clips, edit with FFmpeg, add overlays, sync audio, and render โ all from chat.
Capture browser windows, analyze layouts, read text โ fully autonomous visual understanding.
AI-powered email triage, drafting, and response. Priority detection, tone-matching templates, and full thread summarization.
Full CRM access via Twenty API. Create contacts, update deals, log activities, and generate pipeline reports โ all from chat.
One-click booking pages for clients. AI-assisted calendar management with timezone conversion and focus-time blocking.

Step away and the Warden takes over. It reads your conversation, understands the goal, and keeps SMYTH working on your behalf.
Every response draws from multiple models simultaneously. You get the best from every model in the pool โ not just one.
16 integrated tools across 7 categories โ no plugins, no subscriptions, just working.
Distributed by design. Ensemble by default.
Routes across multiple AI models in rotation. No single model bottleneck. SMYTH's identity is protocol-level โ not tied to any one provider or architecture.
Four JSON-backed stores (facts, sessions, preferences, skills) with FTS search and prefetch. Cross-session recall without a vector database. Lightweight, portable, auditable.
Init โ Prefetch โ Compress โ Inject. Every session loads relevant memory, compresses excess context, and injects everything into a structured XML block. No manual setup required.
Independent tasks run simultaneously via parallel tool calls. No sequential waiting. Web search, file writes, and image generation can fire at once โ results stream back as they complete.
