Point Claude Code at it.
Or Codex. Or both.

Ori Notebook is native ground for the agents you already run. Open the Ori panel, pick the installed CLI, grant it a section: it works from your real notes and drafts back into your review tray.

The review tray in the app holding the staged notes the agent drafted, with Accept and Reject controls The same review tray in dark mode The Proposals panel: two staged notes from the run, with Review, Accept all and Reject The same Proposals panel in dark mode
The run lands here: staged notes and diffs, yours to apply.

Your subscription is the brain

A signed-in Claude Code or Codex install is the whole setup. Ori finds the CLI, runs it, and streams the work live. No API keys unless you want to bring one.

Context without copy-paste

The agent reads your actual notes through MCP: exact blocks, link graphs, full-text search. You pick the sections it sees; it cites what it used.

Sandboxed by design

Spawned CLIs get their native write paths withheld and one write verb: propose. Drafts land in a review tray as diffs, applied only when you say so.

Or bring any MCP client.

Two bundled servers: read-only with ten tools, and proposal with exactly one write verb. Point any agent at your vault folder and it speaks the same protocol the app does.

Yours

A folder on your disk,
all the way down.

The vault is any folder you pick. Every note is a plain Markdown file that opens anywhere. The rendered page and the file on disk are the same thing, readable by you, addressable by agents.

What you see
The rendered note: serif heading, typeset equation, tinted callout, a clean table and a checklist The same rendered note in dark mode

Any folder is a vault

Point it at a synced folder, a git repo, a USB stick. Your call.

Files outlive the app

Plain Markdown opens in any editor, today and in twenty years.
