Roadmap
From shell to OS.
Every decision in Zenus — IntentIR, privilege tiers, the knowledge graph —
points toward one destination: an operating system where intent replaces commands.
This is the path.
Phase 1 Foundation Hardening
Complete Completed March 2026
- · Comprehensive error handling, circuit breakers, retry budgets
- · Integration, E2E, and property-based testing — 89% coverage
- · Performance metrics, cost tracking, real-time observability
- · YAML config with hot-reload, profile system, HashiCorp Vault secrets
- · Intent memoization cache (LRU + disk, 1h TTL)
- · Async/await stack, true parallel execution, HTTP connection pooling
Phase 1.5 Pre-launch Hardening
In progress Target: June 2026
- · ✅ OWASP Top-10 audit — path traversal, injection, secret masking, temp-file permissions
- · ✅ MCP server mode — expose all Zenus tools via stdio/SSE to Claude Code, Cline, Continue
- · ✅ MCP client mode — connect external MCP servers, inject their tools into the registry
- · ⏳ Voice TTS finalization — Piper streaming, voice profiles, fallback chain
- · ⏳ Conversational flow — clarifying questions mid-execution, natural interruptions
- · ⏳ Parallel execution benchmarks and live progress visualization
Phase 2 Intelligence Amplification
Planned Target: September 2026
- · Local fine-tuning on user workflow data (Llama, Mistral)
- · Multi-agent collaboration (already partial) — deeper ResearcherAgent/ValidatorAgent loops
- · Advanced knowledge graph queries across reboots
- · Habit formation and proactive best-practice nudges
Phase 3 Multimodal & Accessibility
Planned Target: December 2026
- · Full voice pipeline — STT (done) + TTS + conversational context carryover
- · OCR integration — read text from images, extract tables
- · Web dashboard (FastAPI + React, WebSocket real-time updates)
- · Mobile app (iOS/Android, remote execution, biometric auth)
Phase 4 Ecosystem & Integrations
Planned Target: March 2027
- · Cloud platforms — AWS, Azure, GCP automation
- · Database operations — SQL generation, schema migrations
- · Kubernetes and Docker Compose management
- · VS Code and JetBrains IDE extensions
- · Slack, Discord, and Telegram bots
Phase 5.5 New Concepts Under Exploration
Exploring Revisit during Phase 5
- · Intent versioning & replay — time-travel debugging across past executions
- · Sandboxed intent simulation — blast-radius reports before destructive ops
- · Plugin & extension system — `zenus plugin install <name>`, sandboxed execution
Phase 10 Operating System Transition
Long-term vision Target: December 2028
- · Kernel architecture design (Rust/Zig/C++ — TBD)
- · Minimal kernel: boot loader, memory management, process scheduler
- · VFS layer, disk and network drivers, basic TCP/IP
- · Embedded Python interpreter — AI and ML ecosystem preserved
- · Custom Linux distribution with intent as the primary interface
- · Full migration path from v1.x with backward compatibility
Dates are maximum targets, not promises. Phases can shift earlier — they don't shift optimistically.
