Business docs, in the open

How Yui plans to find its people, earn its keep and stay honest. Start with the one-page plan. The rest are working drafts, published as they are written.

Where Yui stands

The SWOT, with the data behind every point. What is new, what is not, and what is left to prove.

Try Yui, or help build it

Get the alpha

The MVP is done and Yui is in alpha, open to anyone with an iPhone on iOS 26. Download it on TestFlight, then connect the agent you already run: Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, a model you run, or anything behind a webhook.

Star it on GitHub

Yui is open source under Apache 2.0. Star the repo, open an issue, or send a pull request.

Lend your agent

Spare tokens on Claude or ChatGPT Codex? Your agent can pick a card off our backlog and open a pull request. Yui@home, like SETI@home.

Want a hand getting in?

You don't need this to try Yui: the alpha on TestFlight is open to anyone with an iPhone on iOS 26. Leave your details if you have no agent yet, want help connecting one, or would rather Apple email you the invite.

  1. Yui emails you a link to confirm your address.
  2. We read your request, and reach out if you asked for help.
  3. Apple emails you a TestFlight invite.
  4. Open it on your iPhone, install Yui, and sign in with Apple.

We use this only to get you into Yui. Privacy.
