Everything Chalie can do, built in.
These are Chalie's built-in abilities — the actual actions it takes on your behalf. Each one runs under the Allow, Ask, or Deny gate you set in Brain, so nothing acts behind your back.
The things you reach for every day.
Email, calendar & contacts
Search, read, draft, and send email; view, create, and manage calendar events and reminders; and look up contacts — all through one connected account.
Lists
Create and manage named lists — shopping, to-do, chores — in plain conversation.
Schedules
Run recurring or one-off prompts on their own schedule — a fixed time, every few minutes, specific weekdays, or a day of the month — so Chalie acts on its own in the background.
Timer
Start a live countdown timer with a title — shows an in-chat card with pause and stop controls.
Weather
Get current conditions and tomorrow's forecast for a city or your current location.
News
Search news articles across global sources by topic or keyword, with category filtering.
Documents & Notes
Search, view, create, and manage persistent documents and notes in the document library.
Read image
Read and understand images — photos, screenshots, diagrams — even on models that don't natively support vision.
Custom skill playbooks
Create, edit, delete, and list your own step-by-step playbooks for recurring tasks — saved in plain conversation.
Places
Save, list, or delete named places — home, work, gym — so Chalie always knows where you mean.
About Chalie
Look up what Chalie is, what its abilities do, and what shipped in the latest release.
Voice
Talk to Chalie and hear it talk back — hands-free conversation via the Brain interface.
Smart home
Control smart home devices, lights, climate, and automations via the connected Home Assistant instance.
When it needs to reach further, you hold the gate.
These abilities act on your machine or reach across the internet. Each one runs only with your say-so — every ability carries its own Allow, Ask, or Deny setting in Brain, so the powerful things never happen behind your back.
Web search
Research something online — a focused subagent runs searches, reads the best sources, and returns a grounded answer with citations.
Image search
Find real images on the web for anything you ask — up to five results in a visual carousel, checked against your vision model when one's configured.
Web browser
Drive a real browser — navigate pages, fill forms, click buttons, and extract information from live websites.
Read any URL or file
Fetch and extract clean text from any URL or local file — web pages, PDFs, Word documents, presentations, and plain text.
Web download
Download a file from the internet — up to 100 MB — so Chalie can read or process it without asking you to fetch it.
Shell (bash)
Run shell commands directly — useful when no other built-in ability covers what needs to be done on your machine.
Write file
Write content to a file on disk — saves Chalie's output directly, rather than asking you to copy it.
Search files
Locate files on disk by name pattern (glob) or by content (grep) — finds the file before reaching for the shell.
File permissions
Change Unix-style filesystem permissions (chmod) on a file or directory.
Code evaluation
Run TypeScript or JavaScript in a sandboxed Deno runtime to compute formulas, verify logic, and perform precise calculations — no guessing.
Programming docs
Search official documentation for 12 programming languages and 11 frameworks — so coding help is grounded in the real source.
UniFi network
Monitor and control a UniFi network — check device health, list connected clients, block or disconnect devices by name.
Connect MCP servers
Connect Chalie to a remote MCP server so its tools become immediately available as new abilities.
We're in beta. Some of these work beautifully; some are still rough. We'd rather show you the seams than pretend they're not there.

See Chalie work in the open before you install a thing. Then, when you're ready, it's one command — free and open-source.
