Kora Systems

Kirt McMaster, co-founder of the defunct Cyanogen, has launched Kora Systems, a Linux-based desktop OS that bakes AI models and autonomous agents directly into the computing experience, letting them work across apps, access files, and retain context between tasks. The free OS is slated for 2027 with support for Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm Snapdragon PCs, built by a roughly 50-person team using AI coding tools like Codex and Claude.
