The Inspiration
OpenAya began with a vision for reimagining how we interact with our workspaces. Read the original article that started it all:

Overview
OpenAya is an internal alpha exploring an 'interface-less' workspace where presence, voice, and simple gestures replace traditional windows and buttons.
The ambition is to let SerpensApp tools surface when needed and recede when not — creating a calmer, more conversational way to live with computation.
Who It's For
- Future SerpenSky residents who may interact with their environment via voice, sound, and subtle displays.
- Teams inside Serpens Inc experimenting with post-application patterns in their own work.
- Research partners interested in ambient intelligence, accessibility, and human-computer co-presence.
Key Features
- Concepts for voice-first orchestration of SerpensApp tools (reading, documents, routing, signals).
- Experiments with notification tones, tempo, and silence instead of traditional alerts.
- Potential integration with physical spaces in SerpenSky campuses and modular building systems.
- Ethical boundaries around always-on listening and system 'presence' in shared spaces.
Stage & Targets
Stage: Internal alpha and design study, not yet a public product.
Target milestones (2025–2026):
- Develop internal prototypes that Serpens teams can use in limited contexts.
- Test how ambient patterns translate into real workflows without increasing cognitive load.
- Feed successful patterns back into SerpensApp UI and SerpenSky campus design.
Where It Fits in Serpens Inc
OpenAya is a forward-looking lens that shapes how Serpens thinks about living with AI systems day-to-day.
It informs everything from notification design in apps to how a SerpenSky building might quietly support the people inside it.
