ΑΓΓΕΛΙΑ Angelia

The messaging platform of Olympus

Every conversation you have,
in one timeline.

Angelia unifies the networks you already use. What makes it different is what else lives in that timeline: the agents working on your behalf — visible, interruptible, and unable to do anything consequential without your say-so.

Angelia is in development and not yet available. Nothing on this page describes a running system — here's exactly where it stands.

Mortals are marble. Gods are gilded.

In a timeline where people and machines both speak, the one thing you must never misread is which is which. So it isn't a label you have to look for — it's the surface itself.

An illustration of the intended interface. It is not a screenshot — there is no running product to screenshot yet, and we would rather say so.

An agent you can watch is a different kind of agent

See the work happen

Agent tasks stream into the conversation as they run — not a spinner and then a result. You watch a negotiation the way you'd watch a colleague work, and you can step in mid-flight.

Authorize what matters

When an agent reaches something consequential — spending money, sending on your behalf, touching a system that bites back — it stops and asks. The gate can't be routed around, and an approval can't be forged.

Keep the receipts

Every approval is a signed event in the room's history. When someone asks six months later who authorized a thing, the answer is a fact rather than a recollection.

What's actually true today

Most product pages describe a future in the present tense. This one won't. Here is the real state, and it will change as the state changes.

Where your messages live

Angelia is built on Matrix, an open federated protocol. That isn't a technical footnote — it's the reason the next sentence can be true.

You can run the whole thing yourself. Not a reduced community edition: the same program, on your hardware, federating with everyone else. If you'd rather we host it, you get the same software and we'll tell you plainly what our servers can see.

It's AGPL-3.0, which means anyone running it for you owes you its source — including us.

How we check our claims

Before writing code we checked the assumptions the design rested on. One turned out to be false: we'd believed a privacy guarantee held that doesn't hold the way we thought.

We wrote that down, changed the design, reported the underlying issue upstream, and kept the record.

A company that never publishes a correction isn't more careful. It's just quieter.

Follow the build

We'll write when something actually works — not weekly, not with a roadmap graphic. Realistically that's a handful of emails a year.

One address, stored to send you these emails and nothing else. No tracking pixels — this page loads no third-party requests at all, which you're welcome to verify in your network tab.
