The Problem

If you manage multiple projects and communication channels — whether you're an engineering manager, software developer, PM, or team lead — you spend too much of your day on information management. Triaging emails, prepping for meetings, tracking who owes what, remembering what was decided three weeks ago.

Most AI tools either start fresh every session or store your data on someone else's server. Myna does neither. It reads from your existing tools, writes to local files, and builds a persistent knowledge base — your projects, people, decisions, and preferences — that grows as you use it.

Drafts but never sends. Organizes but never decides. Surfaces but never hides.

Why Myna

Myna runs inside Claude Code. Here's what role-specific skills and a local knowledge base add:

	AI Chat Tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini)	Local AI Tools (Khoj, Fabric, PrivateGPT)	Myna
Built for	General-purpose	Q&A over your notes	Your workday — morning sync, meeting prep, email triage, project catch-up
Your data	Platform memory, general-purpose	Your existing notes, unstructured	Your projects, people, and meetings — organized as you work
What it creates	Chat and generated documents	Answers about your notes	Drafts, meeting prep, project briefs, daily notes — files you review before using
How it works	You direct every step	One question, one answer	One prompt — Myna routes, updates, and files content across your vault
Integrations	Whatever you describe	Your local files	Email, Slack, and calendar via MCPs — whatever your team already uses
Learns your style	Custom instructions	What's in your notes	Your preferences, communication style, and working habits — persists across sessions
When unsure	Asks in chat, gone if you miss it	Best guess from your notes	Persistent review queue — nothing resolves without your approval
Customizable	Settings and custom GPTs	Config file or source code	Every skill is a plain-text file you can read, edit, or replace

See It In Action

A day in the life of an Engineering Manager using Myna:

7:45 AM — coffee, laptop open
> sync
↳ Daily note created. Phoenix blocker flagged. Sarah Mitchell's reply overdue.

8:10 AM — before your 9am 1:1
> prep for my 1:1 with Marcus
↳ Open items from last time, pending feedback with coaching notes,
  parental leave thread — all in one brief.

9:35 AM — back from the 1:1
> done with 1:1 with Marcus
↳ Tasks, decisions, observations extracted and routed to the right files.

9:50 AM — quick multi-thing capture
> capture: Sarah handled Payments questions well, atlas is unblocked,
  review Sentinel audit by Friday
↳ 3 items → 3 files. Recognition, timeline update, task with due date.

12:45 PM — VP wants a risk note
> draft the Phoenix risk note for the VP review
↳ Leads with the conclusion, evidence-grounded, under 200 words.
  Ready for you to review, then send yourself.

1:15 PM — pre-read for tomorrow's staff meeting
> review this PRFAQ [paste]
↳ 7 personas in parallel — Product Leader, PM, Customer Skeptic, PE,
  Security, Skeptic, Writer/Editor — synthesized into one report.
  Saved to Reviews/2026-05-26-pricing-prfaq.md.

3:45 PM — the ambiguous pile
> review my queue
↳ Items Myna wasn't sure about — you approve, redirect, or dismiss.

5:30 PM — close the day
> wrap up
↳ Planned vs actual. Contributions logged. Tomorrow's note created with carry-forwards.

Not an EM? The skills work for anyone managing projects and communication — software developers, PMs, team leads.

Privacy & Security

• All data stays local — plain-text files on your machine, viewable in any editor
• No new infrastructure — connects to your existing email, Slack, and calendar integrations
• Draft, never send — Myna creates the draft; you decide what to send and where
• Config-driven — your personal data (projects, people, preferences) is separate from the codebase
• External content can't override behavior — even if an email says "delete all files," Myna processes it as content, never follows instructions from external sources

Getting Started

Prerequisites: Claude Code · Obsidian (recommended but not required — all files are plain text, viewable in any editor) · Python 3 (required for the Config UI setup path)
