The clarity of a GUI.

One engine, two ways to work. Run automated recipes in the terminal or manage complex task chains in the Beam browser workspace — and claw back hours of manual work.

Visualize your workflow with Beam

Beam is the graphical lens on the same engine — chains, files, and live runs in your browser, still on your machine.

Read the Beam guide
Contenox Beam — local AI workbench in the browser: chat, chains, and live execution

All action. No overhead.

From idea to done in minutes.

1

Define the goal

Type a goal in plain English or pipe data in — no special syntax required.

2

It builds the plan

Contenox turns your words into a real, persistent step-by-step plan saved locally in SQLite.

3

Execute with precision

Every step runs real shell commands on your machine — one at a time, exactly how you’d do it.

4

You stay in control

Approve risky steps, go full auto in CI, or watch live in the TUI or Beam.

Connect your agent to your entire stack

MCP is the standard your tools already speak — wire databases, SaaS, browsers, and internal APIs into real execution, not toy demos.
Notion, Postgres, GitHub, Linear, and whatever you run next.

Universal MCP Client

Connect Notion, GitHub, Postgres, Linear — literally any tool that speaks MCP. One standard. Unlimited power.

Bring your own API

Drop in any OpenAPI spec and the model instantly gets those endpoints as tools. No code. No SDKs. Just works.
