Syll: Open-Source Personal Automation with Cross-Surface Execution
Quick Answer
Syll is an open-source multimodal personal automation agent that integrates APIs, CLI, and GUI, enabling users to teach and audit agent behavior across diverse interfaces.
Quick Take
It supports direct user demonstrations to compile reusable skills and provides multimodal evidence for inspection, validated on applications like Adobe Photoshop and macOS Finder.
Key Points
- Syll unifies /API tools, CLI execution, and visual GUI control in a modular runtime.
- Users can teach procedures through demonstrations, which Syll converts into reusable skills.
- Agent execution generates multimodal evidence for user inspection and control.
- Memory, skills, and routines are externalized as editable local artifacts.
- Validated on production applications like Adobe Photoshop and Stardew Valley.

arXiv:2606. 07594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personal AI agents must increasingly operate across APIs, shells, web surfaces, and desktop GUIs, yet many systems remain tuned to a single interface and offer limited support for user teaching and auditability.
We present Syll, an open-source, self-hosted multimodal agent harness that unifies /API tools, CLI execution, and visual GUI control in a modular runtime, enabling agents to coordinate computer use across heterogeneous interfaces while streamlining how users and agents exchange information. …
