# From Terminal to Browser — Olly Expands Beyond CLI

## The Evolution

Olly started as a terminal-based coding assistant — a local alternative to cloud AI that keeps your code on your machine. But developers don't just live in terminals. Today, we're announcing Olly's next chapter: a web interface with real-time streaming.

## Whatlaunched

### REST API + WebSocket Server

The same agent that powers Olly's terminal interface now exposes:

* **REST endpoints** for health, state, and chat
* **WebSocket** for real-time event streaming
* **Async processing** — send a message, get instant confirmation, watch the response stream live

### The Local-First Promise

Olly was built on a simple premise: your code stays on your machine. No cloud APIs, no data leaving your environment. The web interface extends this promise:

* Host it locally or on your own infrastructure
* No account required
* No usage limits
* Complete data sovereignty

## Why This Matters

### Privacy-First Developers

Every week, there's another headline about code leaking into AI training data. Enterprises are increasingly restricting cloud AI tools. Olly answers both concerns:

* Code never leaves your machine
* Model runs locally (llama-cpp-python)
* Self-host anywhere

### Seamless Workflow

Whether you prefer the speed of CLI or the comfort of a browser, Olly adapts to you. Same agent, same tools, same policy engine — two interfaces.

## What's Coming Next

Phase 2 brings the Web Chat UI:

* Next.js frontend
* Real-time token streaming
* Message history
* Multiple concurrent sessions

## Try It Today

```bash theme={null}
cd olly
make serve
# Open http://localhost:8090
```

Or stick with the CLI — Olly meets you where you work.
