Why NeuralCleave

Everything you'd want. Nothing you don't.

Built to surpass every personal AI assistant on the market โ€” feature by feature, test by test.

๐Ÿง NeuralCleave leads

3-Tier Memory

Redis (hot session) + Qdrant (vector semantic) + SQLite (long-term). Per-agent namespace isolation. Compaction + archiver included. Works fully offline.

๐Ÿ”€NeuralCleave leads

Task-Aware Model Routing

10 task types automatically routed to the optimal provider โ€” complex reasoning to Claude Opus, code to DeepSeek, cheap inference to Ollama. Privacy mode forces all calls local.

โœจUnique

ReflectionEngine

Every response scored across 4 dimensions โ€” Relevance, Completeness, Accuracy, Tone โ€” on a 0โ€“100 scale. Low-scoring responses are automatically regenerated once.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธNeuralCleave leads

Voice Pipeline

Local Whisper STT (tinyโ†’large-v3), 3-tier TTS (ElevenLabs โ†’ Kokoro โ†’ system), OpenWakeWord always-on detection, voice cloning. Everything runs on-device.

๐ŸงฉNeuralCleave leads

Plugin SDK

Typed Python ABCs with PEP 451 entry-points. Hot-reload without restart. Hub marketplace with PackageScanner safety gate โ€” no supply-chain risk.

๐Ÿค–Parity

Multi-Agent Orchestrator

Named nodes with model overrides, task/keyword/channel routing, priority + round-robin. Per-node LRU memory namespace. Full REST + CLI management.

๐Ÿ“ŠNeuralCleave leads

Prometheus Observability

13 built-in metrics โ€” counters, gauges, histograms โ€” at /api/v1/metrics. Structured JSON logging with ContextLogger. Pre-built Grafana dashboard included.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธParity

Live Canvas

The agent can render text, markdown, code, tables, charts, and images to a live visual block stream. Real-time WebSocket broadcast to any connected viewer.

๐Ÿ“ฑParity

Desktop + PWA

Tauri v2 native app for Windows / macOS / Linux. PWA served from the gateway โ€” installable on iOS and Android from any browser. No app store needed.

Universal Reach

32 Channel Adapters

Every adapter produces a normalised InboundMessage โ€” one interface for every platform. Configure any channel with a single TOML block.

Model Agnostic

13 LLM Providers. One Interface.

Task-aware routing sends each request to the optimal model. Switch providers at runtime with a single API call. All keys use ENV: resolution โ€” no secrets in files.
