The MachinaOS demo is live, and the portfolio finally says what each product does

For months the MachinaOS tile on our portfolio said Coming Soon. It now says Open Demo, and the link goes to something you can actually use.

MachinaOS is the local-first AI operating layer the rest of the portfolio sits on: you describe a goal in ordinary language, and it becomes a governed multi-agent workflow — composed in a visual Studio, executed against policy, and written to an audit log so every step can be replayed. The demo runs the whole loop in about a minute.

It is an MVP with a live demo, not a product with installations behind it. We would rather say that plainly than let a landing page imply otherwise.

MyIA joins the portfolio

MyIA is a privacy-first personal agent for independent professionals, and it lives where people already are rather than in another dashboard: a morning brief in your local time, meeting prep before the call, follow-ups chased when someone goes quiet, and a document brain you can question about a PDF with page citations. It is EU-hosted, and every action it takes is gated behind your explicit approval — it drafts and proposes, you confirm.

Saying what the products are

The less glamorous half of this release was going through every product description and checking it against the product it describes. Several had drifted.

AI-Portable was described as software that runs models locally on your device. It is not — it is an editorial briefing platform covering portable and on-device AI hardware: smart glasses, wearables, companion devices, edge assistants, distilled from 34 tracked sources with attribution preserved. Teyra is now described as the agentic workbench it became, with its Workflow Studio and Loop Engineering, rather than as a prompt library. Tokenometer was described as usage tracking, which undersold it: it sits at the request as a gateway with observe, fallback and enforce modes, keeps a ledger of raw usage events, and reconciles that against provider billing.

None of this is exciting to ship. But a portfolio page is the first thing an investor or a design partner reads, and a description that outruns the product is the kind of thing that ends a conversation later rather than earlier.

And the plumbing

The site is roughly three times lighter than it was, so it loads faster on a phone or a slow plant network. Links shared from it now render with a proper preview card — they previously came out as bare text, because every social image pointed at a URL that returned a 404. That one had been quietly broken for a while, which is a good argument for actually testing the thing you assume works.
