Where this is going
The longer arc.
Every promised capability with a status pill and an honest framing of when it's realistic. We'd rather under-promise and ship than the opposite. If a feature would mislead at this status, we say so.
Cluster work, for real
Multi-agent fleets that finish a goal together, then collapse into one memory thread you can keep asking against.
Sub-agent fleets coming
Spin up N parallel workers per goal — one per company, one per source, one per question. Each carries its own working memory; results are merged into a single shared thread.
Long-running operators coming
Give bimi a goal once, let it run for hours or days. Ask for clarification when stuck. Operators can sleep when blocked on you, wake when a signal arrives.
Learned procedural skills exploring
Teach bimi your Monday review workflow once. Watch it run autonomously next week. Open question is consent — when does bimi rerun a learned procedure without asking?
Voice, the way you'd use it
A voice you'd actually want to talk to — warmth, restraint, household awareness.
Push-to-talk + on-device ASR live
Works today in beta. Local speech recognition; the audio doesn't leave your Mac.
Wake-word detection paused
Built and shipped in earlier betas — local, no streaming, no server. Currently switched off: Apple is building always-on assistance into the OS itself, and push-to-talk is the honest path today. The code stays; we'll revisit when the platform settles.
Speaker recognition (diarization + ID) coming
Knows who said what in a multi-speaker room. Addresses people by their proper name. Voiceprints are opt-in and stored as personal-sensitive memories.
Voice character with warmth coming
Not a monotone TTS. Restraint and humor budget calibrated to a patient, human assistant. Avoids the "AI helper" voice mannerisms we've all learned to dislike.
Household awareness exploring
Different responses for you vs family vs guests. Privacy stays on-device. Open questions: how do we handle a child invoking the agent? what's the default for a guest who hasn't been introduced?
Your work, understood
The expert-assistant pillar — bimi adapts to your profession and remembers your infrastructure. Most of this is live in the current beta.
Machine Registry live
Routers, switches, firewalls, hosts, VMs — a typed registry bimi maintains and recalls by hostname. Now self-populating: when bimi connects to a host it records the machine and the login that worked on its own, so your fleet fills in as you work. Shipping in the current beta.
Config understanding live
Drop a Cisco IOS or FortiOS config: bimi identifies the device, extracts interfaces, VLANs, and policies into typed memory, and answers questions against it later. More vendors on the way — the goal is universal.
SSH operations live
Send bimi to a host to run diagnostics, read logs, reconstruct a failure timeline. In-process SSH — no helper required — and after the first connect it reuses the login and key it learned, so you never re-enter them. Deterministic approval gates on anything that writes.
Credential Vault live
Keychain-backed. The model only ever sees a handle — never the secret; credentials resolve at wire time, inside the tool executor. bimi can import a key it uses into the Vault on first successful connect, so it never has to ask twice.
Universal MCP client live
Connect any MCP server over HTTP — bimi's tool set grows without waiting on us. A curated, vetted catalog is landing next.
Job Kits exploring
Tell bimi your profession once — network engineer, attorney, founder — and it loads the matching skills, tools, and memory shapes. In design now.
Wearables & sensors
Generic Bluetooth glasses (in hand for development) + a pendant capture device (waiting on hardware) extend bimi off the desktop without surrendering privacy.
BTLE smart glasses (GlassesKit) coming
First-person video + audio grounding — bimi sees what you see. Frames feed the constellation only when you say so. Partly built; hardware in hand for ongoing dev.
Pendant capture (Omi) exploring
Always-with-you audio, speaker-attributed, on-device transcription. Not started; hardware not yet on the desk. Optional accessory, not a platform requirement.
Sensor fusion coming
Calendar + photos + voice + glasses + pendant collapsed into one context. The retrieval layer treats them as parallel signal sources, scored independently.
Proactive without being annoying
The hardest pillar to get right. We'd rather be too quiet than too pushy.
Presence layer in beta
Context awareness — bimi watches calendar/location/app activity. Acts on it minimally. Refinement underway in the current build.
Adaptive rituals coming
Weekly check-ins that learn you. Dismissals are remembered per topic; the rhythm adapts.
Predictive timing coming
The right tool at the right moment — derived from calendar + location + pattern. Always opt-in by surface, never automatic.
Memory you can see
The constellation is the centerpiece. See how memory works for the architecture.
Memory Constellation UI in beta
Dark-sky UI where memories are stars and links are constellation lines. Polishing the layout algorithm.
Reflection engine in beta
bimi thinks between turns. Distills lessons during idle. Promotes/decays/merges. Working today; tuning the promotion gates.
Multi-vector retrieval live
Embedding + temporal decay + category boost + entity linkage, all combined. Shipping in the current beta.
Memory Inspector in beta
The list view of every memory bimi holds about you. Sortable, searchable, editable. Adding bulk-export to JSON next.
Trust, in public
The promises behind the privacy posture, made visible in-product.
Trust posture dashboard coming
Privacy nutrition labels, on-device ratio, model + prompt change impact in plain English. Updates whenever you change a setting.
Conversational permissions coming
Mid-conversation asks for sensitive actions. Declines remembered per source — once you say no to "read my mail," bimi remembers per app.
Bulk memory export live
Export your entire memory library as portable JSON. Settings → Memory → Library backup. Useful for rolling back to an older bimi, or moving bimi between Macs.
