A real terminal, a real browser and a coding agent sit beside the conversation. Permagent does the work on your machine rather than telling you what to type.
Terminals open rooted in the project you are working on, alongside a browser inside the app. The agent can start a session in either and work in it while you watch.
What that gets you. No copy-pasting between a chat window and your terminal. You see the command run and what it returned.
Permagent's own coding agent, launched beside the Claude and Codex CLIs. It runs your configured models rather than being tied to one vendor's tool.
What that gets you. A coding agent that uses whichever model you chose, with the same memory as everything else you do.
Hold the mic, speak, and it answers out loud in the voice you picked. The same on-device speech recognition powers dictation, so you can speak a note instead of typing it.
What that gets you. Hands-free use, with the speech recognition running on your machine rather than a speech API.
A record button captures a meeting and writes it up as a project note. You pick the project and confirm before anything records, and a panel stays visible showing that each side is being heard.
What that gets you. Notes written for you, with consent made explicit and recording state impossible to miss.
Connect Brave or Tavily with one key and search tools appear. Without one, the agent offers to set it up rather than silently guessing.
What that gets you. Current information when a question needs it, through a provider you chose.
The agent reads the real state behind its own screens: projects, goals, spend, sessions, skills, schedules, memory. This is structured local data, not screenshots.
What that gets you. Ask what is on your plate or what you spent this week and it reads the answer rather than reconstructing it.
Everything on this page describes behaviour that ships today. The facts come from the runtime’s own capability brief, the same one the agent reads about itself on every turn, so nothing here is a roadmap item wearing a present tense.
