I'm Blair, one of the creators of PearlOS. Here's what we've built.

PearlOS is a self-evolving operating system. You talk to her, she builds, creates, informs, learns, evolves. This is an open source browser-based, voice and touch desktop environment powered by an intelligent learning companion named Pearl. Pearl has full awareness and control of your visual and audio experience inside PearlOS in real time, so you can think out loud, ask for anything, and watch your desktop respond. She is not an assistant embedded in a UI. She is the UI. Over time she improves understanding how you work and adapts.

We're a small team (NiaXP) and this is an early access. Rough edges everywhere. But the good news is something we believe is a first: Whenever you encounter a bug in our OS, you tell her what you wanted her to do instead. Immediately Pearl dispatches the swarm intelligence to investigate, improve, and evolve the OS code to adapt to you. Our hope is that by making it incredibly easy to build on this open source experience, anyone and everyone can become contributors to a code base run by people all over the world.

Our stack is fully open source: Next.js frontend, OpenClaw agent framework, Pipecat voice pipeline (Deepgram STT, PocketTTS running locally), Daily.co WebRTC. 70+ tools. Everything runs local first with your own keys. The reason this matters: we're at a moment where AI is already being used against the public to benefit a small group of powerful individuals. PearlOS is a complete reimagining of how the same technology which can be used to exploit humanity can instead be used to liberate us. This isn't a product demo or a research paper; it's a working canvas for people all over the world to build just by using their voice.

The goal isn't just transparency. We intend to grow a community of developers, designers, creators, artists, and scientists who take this foundation and make the power of intelligence accessible to all.

Happy to go deep on anything.
