Laya
Laya is an open-source, local-first AI command center built around a simple insight: most knowledge work starts as a notification you have to triage. Instead of bouncing between Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Linear, and a dozen other apps, Laya plugs into them, enriches each notification with context using AI personas, and surfaces ready-to-approve action cards before you even open the app. Its zero-prompt architecture means you never have to write a query — a 10-stage intelligence pipeline researches the thread, drafts a response, and groups related updates into a daily summary you can act on in minutes. Because it's local-first and you bring your own API keys, your data and message history stay on your machine, which makes it a credible alternative to closed inbox-AI products for developers, founders, and operators who want autonomy without giving up on automation.
