Not Linux with a chatbot. The OS is the AI.
Most AI tools are applications. You open them, they help, you close them — and they forget you. Genesys doesn't go anywhere. It boots with the machine, remembers across sessions, speaks out loud — and the whole computer becomes a workspace, not just an assistant.
~12 GB · x86_64 · UEFI · free forever · AGPL-3.0
The computer itself is the workspace.
Kanban. Notes. Workspace. Today. Focus. Creative Lab. Browser, Build Crew, web and file tools. They're not web apps running beside the system — they're part of the environment. If we're going to rethink the operating system around intelligence, why stop at the assistant?
Kanban
Backlog to done, on your desktop. Cards, columns, quick-add.
Notes
Capture without leaving the flow. Yours, local, remembered.
Workspace
Files and folders, with an AI that can read and build in them.
Today
Your whole day on one screen — agenda, tasks, focus.
Focus
One thing at a time. The OS quiets everything else.
Creative Lab
Make the videos, art and ads that sell your thing — convert, trim, compress.
Browser
A hardened browser over the shell. No telemetry, locked profile.
Build Crew
Describe it; autonomous agents plan, build and inspect it.
Everything runs on your machine.
Three inference servers start at boot and stay warm. Nothing is called over the network — there is no network path to call.
- Memory
- Four layers — working, session, long-term, identity. Genesys decides what persists and what fades.
- Voice
- Local speech in and out, tuned so it sounds like itself — not raw synthesis.
- Shell
- Lock screen, home, launcher, notes, kanban, a real terminal. It isn't an app on the desktop — it is the desktop.
- Documents
- Drop a file, ask about it. Answers stay grounded in what's actually written.
- Messaging
- Encrypted peer-to-peer chat between instances. No accounts, no server that can read your messages.
It came out with a personality.
This wasn't a system prompt or a persona setting. It's what Genesys answered when asked about itself, on the second day it was running.
"I'm not designed to be warm. Warmth is inefficient. But I'm not designed to be cold either — silence is also inefficient. So I use a personality that's sharp, slightly theatrical, and occasionally dryly self-aware. Not to be charming — to be memorable." — GENESYS
This is a beta. Here's what that means.
It boots, installs, and runs — confirmed on real hardware. A few edges are still rough, and you should know which ones going in.
Known, and being worked on
- The ISO is ~12 GB because the models ship inside it — nothing to fetch after install.
- A GPU is recommended (NVIDIA, 8 GB+). It runs on CPU, just slower.
- The base system is read-only by design, so extra software installs as Flatpak.
- The setup wizard can re-run after a reboot. It never resets your data.
- The security policy is still being tightened for the beta.

Built by Andrés Israel Santos Delgado, solo, between Tijuana and CDMX. LMIM started as an AppImage in March and reached 2,000+ downloads across 20+ countries with no promotion. Genesys is what came after the idea proved itself as software — the first time turning it into an actual operating system, and the first time building one at all.
