Under the hood · what you actually get
What Darwin can do — and how he got there
The dashboard is the small part. Underneath is a local AI assistant that has shipped a new version almost every three days since June. This page is the honest inventory: what Darwin does today, and the timeline of how each piece arrived.
What Darwin is, in ten boxes
Memory that is yours
- Plain Markdown notes on your disk, recalled automatically before every answer.
- A 3D map of meanings you can search; libraries of documents, standards, scans (OCR).
- Shared across your devices. A new fact replaces the old one; a “forget” tool deletes for real.
A team of agents
- Each agent has its own memory card, knowledge folders and projects it must not mix.
- Personalities, faces and voices of their own; edit them by voice.
- Agents run on your subscription or on a local model; a “no tools” mode for the ones that talk to strangers.
Automation that asks first
- Processes triggered by schedule, a changed folder, a specific e-mail or a calendar event.
- Chain them, run review-then-approve, keep active hours, read full run logs.
- A morning brief that reads out what your own processes did.
Brains — your choice
- Claude API, Claude Code subscription, GPT/Codex subscription, or a local Ollama model.
- One set of tools on all of them; switch any time, even mid-day.
- Subscription brains install with one click — Node.js is bundled.
Voice and face
- Talk to him; he answers in a real voice or a free local one, in your language.
- A particle face that lip-syncs to speech; hand gestures over the webcam, all local.
- Instant voice commands that need no AI at all.
Phone and remote
- Your own address on one click; a phone app that shows the same dashboard.
- Telegram and an end-to-end encrypted channel with voice notes, files and approval buttons.
- Answer an approval question in your own words, typed or spoken.
Documents and media
- Creates and edits Word, Excel, PowerPoint, their LibreOffice twins, PDF — with a backup first.
- Reads whole documents and archives; OCR for scans.
- Dubs or translates a video’s voice track; generates images and video.
Integrations
- Gmail and Outlook (multiple mailboxes), Google Calendar, Spotify.
- Instagram DMs through ManyChat, every reply approved by you.
- Smart-home lights (Tuya, Kasa) in a House window; a link to EasyCAD.
Security by design
- Your access code guards sensitive actions on the server side; everything is in a local audit log.
- E-mailed commands count only from your own address; unattended automation is sandboxed.
- A credential vault paired to your PC that checks the site and its certificate before it fills a password.
Yours to extend
- The code is on your disk. Your own tools survive every update — Darwin adopts and protects them.
- Connect your own Claude Code or Codex; a DARWIN-DEV.md guide tells it what the core is.
- In Pro, Darwin writes new tools for himself and gives them a page on the dashboard.
- Missing a tool? Tell us. We also build plugins on request — video analysis went from a customer’s question to a finished tool in one morning, and shipped to everyone.
You buy once. Every version below reached every owner as a free update.
Release by release
The beginning. Version 1 was built for our own needs at BlueberryS: an assistant that sorted our mail, remembered our projects and talked with us while we worked on EasyBridge and EasyCAD. When we wanted to hand him to others, we rebuilt him into a product that runs on someone else’s computer, with their keys, without us — that is version 2. From there the history is public, and every line below reached owners as an update.
- 2.3.75 Sep 2026Eyes on video, lips after dubbing, subtitles — and a phone that no longer interrupts work
Darwin watches a video: scenes, a timed transcript and a description into memory, so you can ask “what happens in minute three”. After dubbing it re-syncs the lips (sync.so) and produces subtitles. An agent asks for approval of a paid action with a button on your phone and saves a generated image straight into its own folder. A locked phone screen no longer kills a turn — the reply waits and is delivered. Trials can be extended or ended to the day.
- 2.3.64 Sep 2026Agents keep their notes, a “no tools” switch, keys bound to your PC
Agent notes go to the agent’s own folder. A “No tools (writes text only)” switch for agents that answer strangers. ManyChat sets up its writer + critic pair for a new owner by itself. New license keys activate once and bind to the computer; trial on request.
- 2.3.54 Sep 2026Answer an approval in your own words
A third button on approval questions — ✍ Feedback — sends what to change, typed or spoken, in full length. Tool denials from the brain link are now visible instead of silently dropped; non-Gmail sent/drafts folders open.
- 2.3.44 Sep 2026Safeguards from the first support wave
A broken automation entry no longer takes the scheduler down. Agents with a working folder on a NAS keep their tools. Mail filters handle diacritics. Service mode can read the brain-link configuration.
- 2.3.33 Sep 2026Documents, learning and the phone
Edit documents in every common format with a backup first. Edit an agent by voice (rename, voice, brain, add to role). Student mode on all brains, newest models. Phone chat resizes from both edges.
- 2.3.21 Sep 2026Smarter start for new agents
Every new agent starts on Sonnet instead of the fastest, simplest model. An agent with a read-only folder says exactly what it is missing.
- 2.3.11 Sep 2026Nine document formats, the House window, Instagram replies
PowerPoint and LibreOffice added — nine formats. A House window with rooms, lights and sensors (Tuya, Kasa). Remote approvals sync between PC and phone. Instagram DMs via ManyChat with approval of every reply.
- 2.3.030 Aug 2026Projects for agents
Assign each agent the folders of one job; it draws only from them. Nested projects, aliases, a working folder to write to and knowledge folders to read from. Settings regrouped with search. The phone says at once why a brain failed.
- 2.2.228 Aug 2026The encrypted channel is complete
PrivateChat: voice notes, files, approval buttons — all inside end-to-end encryption; self-service setup. A “forget” tool that really deletes from memory.
- 2.2.126 Aug 2026What you build stays yours
Darwin adopts and protects your own tools so an update never overwrites them; a DARWIN-DEV.md guide for your own Claude Code; a core manifest that tells you what an update reset and where your version is kept.
- 2.2.015 Aug 2026Darwin gets a face
The orb rearranges into a particle face that lip-syncs to speech; every agent can have its own face and voice. A Tasks window with real physics and a board. Telegram with voice notes, no tunnel needed. The memory write gate: a new fact replaces the old.
- 2.1.711 Aug 2026Local brain for agents and automations
Processes such as mail triage can run fully free and private on a local Ollama model, attachments included. EasyCAD link: the small Darwin inside EasyCAD works as a connected agent. Attachments on all brains.
- 2.1.5–2.1.67 Aug 2026Whole documents, shared memory, one toolset
Memory shared across your devices. Word, Excel and PDF read whole, archives opened, Gmail drafts, a usage overview. The same tools on every brain. 2.1.6 fixed tools on the GPT subscription brain.
- 2.1.42 Aug 2026Built-in tools update too
Improvements to the shipped tools reach existing installations; your own tools are never touched.
- 2.1.2–2.1.31 Aug 2026Big security release
A service log that never records sensitive data or speech. The credential vault pairs to the PC, checks the domain you actually landed on (SSO too) and the site’s certificate. The remote-access component is verified by signature before every start.
- 2.1.131 Jul 2026Remote access works, scans become searchable
A missing file kept remote access from starting — fixed. OCR for scanned PDFs. Send from a specific company address. Process results to the phone. Image and video generation for agents. A read-only, expiring service mode for remote support.
- 2.1.029 Jul 2026The meaning map and self-operation
A 3D map of memory where related topics cluster. Darwin operates himself by voice: run a saved process by name, switch modes. Audio through the orb. Passwords never in chat — a vault plus Windows Credential Manager. Interrupted work continues with “continue”. Your remote address on one click.
- 2.0.2519 Jul 2026Six languages and hand gestures
Setup starts with language (six, including the license terms). Hand-gesture control over the webcam, running locally. Instant voice commands with no AI in the loop.
- 2.0.22–2.0.2416–18 Jul 2026An app of its own
Own icon and frameless window, plugin management in Settings, Darwin writes notes about finished work. Attachments survive interruptions; the access code asks instead of failing silently; document libraries browsed level by level.
- 2.0.18–2.0.1912 Jul 2026Plugins with their own pages
Darwin builds a tool and a button for it appears on the dashboard by itself. Accent colour for the whole cockpit. Flash voice: answers start four times faster. A dubbing tool with an honest cost estimate. Correct forms of address for your gender; custom voices.
- 2.0.15–2.0.179 Jul 2026The subscription brain on a fresh PC
Node.js bundled, so Claude Code or GPT is one click. A step-by-step first run. Long runs no longer lose their work on timeout. Starter agents with real personality.
- 2.0.12–2.0.132–6 Jul 2026Agents with memory, automation grows up
Every agent gets a memory card and assigned knowledge folders. Processes chain, run review-then-approve, survive restarts, and trigger on a changed folder, a specific e-mail or a calendar event. Multiple mailboxes; start with Windows.
- 2.0.8–2.0.1027–29 Jun 2026Hardening and polish
E-mailed commands only from your verified address; unattended automation cannot reach the web or mail out. In-app rating, voice fallback and volume, a more robust updater.
- 2.0.5–2.0.719 Jun 2026Guided brains and in-app updates
Only brains that actually work are offered; a guided subscription setup. Auto-routing of specialist tasks to the right agent; an agent mailbox. Update from Settings with one click.
- 2.0.417 Jun 2026Security and remote
Cross-origin protection, the access code enforced server-side, a local audit log, rate-limited unlocking. GPT as a reserve brain. Remote mode with trusted-device pairing.
- 2.0.1–2.0.313–16 Jun 2026The 3D memory core
A brain that explodes your knowledge map, themes and agent icons. Access-code onboarding, local Ollama brain, image attachments, updates that work out of the box.
Three months, thirty-nine versions. Nothing here is a roadmap — it is all in the installer today.
