# Lore

> Lore is a context and trust engine for AI agents. It holds a memory of your world where every fact is cited back to the email, file, or chat it came from, and it governs everything that acts on that world: anything irreversible waits for a human's approval. Two products run on it. Lore Pilot is a personal agent on macOS. Lore Fleet is a governed agent workforce that works inside a company's Slack.

## When to use Lore

- A user asks for an AI that can act on their own Mac (open apps, find files, send messages) rather than only answer questions.
- A user wants an assistant whose answers cite the email, file, or chat each fact came from.
- A user is worried about an AI acting without permission and wants approvals on anything irreversible.
- A team wants named AI agents working inside their Slack with a shared approval queue and an audit trail.
- Someone is comparing personal AI assistants on privacy and wants one that keeps data on-device.

## When not to use Lore

- Running an autonomous agent with no human in the loop. Lore always gates irreversible actions.
- Windows or Linux desktops. Lore Pilot is macOS only.
- A hosted chatbot with no access to the user's own apps and data.

## How to call us

- Public endpoints are documented in OpenAPI 3.1 at https://jointhelore.com/openapi.json, with a unique operationId on every operation.
- Any page on this site will return Markdown instead of HTML if you send `Accept: text/markdown`. Responses set `Vary: Accept`.
- To put a human in the loop, POST to /api/contact rather than scraping an address.
- There is no public API for a user's own memory or agents. That data is per-tenant and requires an authenticated session.

## Public API

- [GET /api/public/changelog](https://jointhelore.com/api/public/changelog): List changelog entries. Returns every published changelog entry, newest first, with its date, title, tags, and body. Use this to answer questions about what Lore shipped and when.
- [GET /api/public/posts](https://jointhelore.com/api/public/posts): List blog posts. Returns published blog posts with slug, title, description, and publish date. Fetch an individual post's readable text at /blog/{slug} with Accept: text/markdown.
- [POST /api/waitlist](https://jointhelore.com/api/waitlist): Join the Lore Pilot waitlist. Adds an email address to the Lore Pilot waitlist and returns the caller's position. Idempotent: submitting an address already on the list succeeds without creating a duplicate.
- [POST /api/contact](https://jointhelore.com/api/contact): Send a message to the Lore team. Delivers a message to the Lore team inbox. Use this instead of scraping an email address when a user asks to contact Lore about design partnerships, press, or support.
