Orb is the living sphere at the heart of Celestos. Say its name — it wakes. Speak a command — it acts and speaks back. Set your mood — it responds to you differently. Connect your real accounts and it becomes the control centre for your email, calendar, code, and more. Make it yours with themes, voices, and a persona you write yourself. Always on. Always one word away.
The animated particle sphere is Celestos's visual identity — rendered in real time, reacting to input, shifting when you speak. It's not decoration. It's a status display: active, thinking, interrupted, idle. You know exactly what Celestos is doing just by looking at it.
Do something now. Quick commands, visible progress, file results, action cards. Better for getting things done.
Get a full answer. Text, sources, comparisons, explanations. Better for thinking, learning, and long conversations.
Set your wake word in Settings — the default is "Celestos." Say it anywhere in the room and the sphere shifts to ember, the microphone opens, and it listens. Speak your request. Hear the result back in a voice you choose. No keyboard. No mouse. No screen needed.
Say "Celestos" (or any phrase you set). Orb lights ember. You're in. Works from across the room — no tap, no click.
Tap SPEAK or use the wake word. Your voice is transcribed instantly and routed like any other request — to Hive, Tracker, Memory, or wherever it fits.
Celestos speaks results back in a voice you choose from Settings. 10 local voices. Pick one that feels right. Never reads the screen back robotically — it summarises, informs, and moves on.
With the Chief of Staff running, Celestos doesn't wait to be asked. It interrupts with what you need to hear — the Orb turns ember and speaks unprompted.
The mode pills at the bottom of Orb aren't just navigation — they set the specialist context for your next request. Tap HIVE and your next prompt launches a multi-agent team. Tap EMAIL and Celestos reads your inbox. Tap MEMORY and you're inside your knowledge galaxy. One tap. Different brain.
Writing mode. Draft documents, edit, rewrite, format. Celestos becomes a specialist writing partner tuned for long-form output.
Reads your connected inbox, drafts replies, flags what needs attention, and auto-resolves the obvious. Your email, handled.
Your next request launches a multi-agent team. Manager, specialists, coordinator — one prompt, a whole team working in parallel.
Your active Sparks and scheduled watchers. Price alerts, competitor monitors, news triggers — all visible and controllable.
Fly into your knowledge galaxy. Navigate concept planets, search your memories, ask what you know about anything.
Describe a capability. Celestos builds it, critiques it, iterates up to five times, then forges it as a permanent Skill.
Instant capture. Speak or type a thought and it's filed into your memory graph before it disappears.
Web research mode. Celestos searches, browses, and synthesises — returning a clean answer with sources, not a list of links.
Celestos ships with eleven visual themes, six cursor styles, multiple font options, and a Custom System Persona you write yourself. It's not cosmetic — a workspace that feels like yours gets used more, stays open longer, and becomes part of how you think.
Write your own instructions for how Celestos should behave. Change its communication style, what it focuses on, how it structures answers, how formal or casual it is. It's not a name change — it's a full behavioural rewrite you control.
Connect your real accounts once through the Celestos Connect window and your AI suddenly knows your world. Read email, draft replies, check your calendar, monitor your repos, pull data from your store — all from the Orb, in plain language, with nothing leaving your machine unless you're using a cloud model.
Open Celestos Connect from the Settings gear. Each service gets its own isolated connector — OAuth flows stay out of the main UI.
Authorise with your own credentials — not a shared Celestos token. You control what gets access and can revoke any connector at any time.
Just ask in plain language. "What emails need a reply?" "What's on my calendar?" Celestos reads the connected service and answers from your live data.
Set your state — Joyful, Focused, Anxious, Frustrated — and Celestos rewires how it speaks across every surface. The Mood Engine broadcasts live over an SSE bus: change your mood on your phone and the Orb on your desktop shifts personality immediately. And with the prediction engine, Celestos learns to detect your state before you set it.
Because it runs over a live SSE bus, your mood state follows you. Change it on mobile via the Mobile Tunnel and it shifts the Orb on your desktop instantly. One state, everywhere.
