LifeOS Philosophy
What makes LifeOS different.
Most AI harnesses run the prompt you type. LifeOS works from what you actually want: it captures your ideal state, turns it into criteria that can be tested, and checks every piece of work against them. These are the parts that set it apart from other harnesses, each with the full story. Pick any card to go deep.
