## About the product

Cyréna is a **desktop AI-assisted engineering platform** for software developers and engineering teams who need project-aware help with code inspection, editing, building, and repair workflows alongside their IDE.

Key capabilities include:
- **Iterative repair loop** that follows a controlled cycle (inspect project plan and references, make minimal edits, build, repair, then persist knowledge), reducing session drift by resetting chat memory each iteration while keeping structured project knowledge.
- **Project-scoped engineering memory** that stays with the project, including API references, notes, architecture rules, and coding conventions used to ground ongoing work.
- **Model-agnostic execution** that supports **local models via Ollama** and **cloud models via OpenAI or compatible endpoints**, with the ability to switch models mid-workflow.
- **Workflow orchestration and safety controls**, including queued multi-step instructions for background tasks, enforced project boundaries and structure rules, per-workflow capability activation, and a **rolling rollback backup (up to 20 states)**.

Available as a **desktop application**.

It targets **B2B software teams** working across **.NET, Angular/TypeScript, web services, and embedded development** (including Arduino, PlatformIO, and ESP-IDF) who want AI assistance that fits real build-and-repair cycles rather than chat-only usage.

Notable in context, it is developed by **Vaya Nova (South Africa)** and is positioned as **offline-first** and infrastructure-controlled, which can suit teams that need local development workflows, tighter control over source code handling, and flexibility to choose between on-device and cloud model providers.
