Lite Public Beta ​

Aionis Lite is the fastest way to try Aionis today.

It gives you a local, SQLite-backed edition that preserves the core Aionis workflow:

  1. write execution memory
  2. recall it later
  3. assemble context
  4. replay what happened

What Lite Is ​

Lite is:

  1. local
  2. single-user
  3. SQLite-backed
  4. the shortest path to testing Aionis with Codex or MCP

Lite is not:

  1. Server parity
  2. a production replacement for Server
  3. the multi-user control plane

Fastest Start ​

bash
git clone https://github.com/Cognary/Aionis.git
cd Aionis
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run build
npm run start:lite

Health should show Lite:

bash
curl -fsS http://localhost:3001/health | jq '{ok,aionis_edition,memory_store_backend}'

Expected:

  1. aionis_edition = "lite"
  2. memory_store_backend = "lite_sqlite"

What Lite Supports Today ​

Lite public beta supports the core Aionis runtime path:

  1. write
  2. recall
  3. recall_text
  4. planning/context
  5. context/assemble
  6. replay lifecycle and playbooks
  7. sessions and packs
  8. graph inspection
  9. rules and tools loop

What Stays Server-Only ​

These remain intentionally unavailable in Lite:

  1. /v1/admin/control/*
  2. /v1/automations/*

Treat 501 server_only_in_lite as edition behavior, not as a runtime failure.

Run the standard Lite validation path:

bash
npm run -s lite:dogfood

That path checks:

  1. startup
  2. health
  3. write
  4. recall
  5. context runtime
  6. pack export/import
  7. replay lifecycle

Why Start with Lite ​

If you want to prove the value of Aionis quickly, Lite is the right first step:

  1. less setup friction
  2. easier local iteration
  3. direct Codex and MCP experimentation
  4. the fastest route to continuity, replay, and exact handoff recovery
