What Murage is, what a Chief of Staff does, and how you stay in charge.
Murage is a free, open-source desktop app that gives you, and each person on your staff, an AI Chief of Staff. You say what needs doing, it builds a team of bots to do it, and your team's memory and files are stored on your computer.
The Chief of Staff is the one bot you talk to in Murage. Here is what it does with a request, how it builds and briefs a team, and where it stops and waits for you.

An AI executive assistant manages your time and your inbox. An AI Chief of Staff manages the work: it breaks down goals, runs a team and brings back one answer. How to tell which one you need.
What multi-agent AI actually means, in plain words: specialists, a lead who coordinates them, and one report back to you. Why a team of AI agents beats one long chat for real work, and where it doesn't.
Murage bots can run fast, but some actions stop for you on every level except one: paying, deleting outside their folder, messaging someone new and posting publicly. How the stop line works, and the one level that removes it.
Yes, if you decide where the line is. How Murage's four approval levels and its stop line let a bot draft all day, reply where you allow it, and stop before writing to anyone new.
Murage bots remember at five levels: the conversation, the bot's own notebook, the team or project, your whole workspace, and learned skills. What each one holds, and how to open and edit it.
Murage is local-first: your bots, memory, files and conversations live on your machine. Here is why we built it that way, what still leaves your computer, and the trade-offs.
