 # ollie
 
-Ollie is an AI agent runtime that exposes agent state and behaviors as files. Sessions, conversation history, tools, memory, and configuration are all ordinary files in a virtual filesystem — interact with them using shell commands, scripts, editors, or any program that can read and write files. The core is minimal: a Go library handles the agent loop, tool dispatch, and sandboxing, while everything else — orchestration, scheduling, workflows, UIs — is external. Capabilities come from composing small pieces rather than building a monolithic framework.
+Ollie is an AI agent runtime. A small Go core handles the agent loop, tool dispatch, sandboxing, and multi-backend routing; frontends (terminal, acme, Emacs, KDE, browser) and orchestration (shell scripts, multi-agent workflows, cron) are external. The core is deliberately minimal — capabilities come from composing small pieces rather than building a monolithic framework.
