Introduction

Lyra is an open-source AI workspace where people and agents work as one crew. Conversation is the default surface of every workspace; the infinite canvas is a second view of the same workspace for work that is better seen laid out.

The pieces

• Workspaces hold a team's conversations, agents, files and canvas.
• Crew is the conversation view: direct and group conversations with people and agents, with mentions to hand off work.
• Agents are workspace members with a name, instructions and a model. They run in Lyra's sandboxes or on a computer you connect.
• Threads give a project its own plan, tasks and results, away from the main conversation.
• Canvas lays out what agents make, from web pages and images to decks, documents and spreadsheets, inside frames.
• Skills and Routines extend what agents can do and when they do it.

Two ways to run Lyra

• Lyra Cloud at app.lyrahq.io. Sign up and your first workspace is ready. See the Quickstart.
• Self-hosted on your own infrastructure, under the Apache-2.0 license. See Self-hosting.

Source code

Lyra is developed in the open at github.com/AstraFoundry/Lyra: a TypeScript monorepo with a React web app, a NestJS API, an agent runtime and a local daemon for connected computers.
