## What Makes Yao Different?
| Traditional AI Assistants | Yao Autonomous Agents |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Entry point: Chatbox | Entry point: Email, Events, Schedules |
| Passive: You ask, they answer | Proactive: They work autonomously |
| Role: Tool | Role: Team member |
> The entry point is not a chatbox — it's email, events, and scheduled tasks.

## Features
### Autonomous Agent Framework
Build agents that work like real team members:
- **Three Trigger Modes** — Clock (scheduled), Human (email/message), Event (webhook/database)
- **Six-Phase Execution** — Inspiration → Goals → Tasks → Run → Deliver → Learn
- **Multi-Agent Orchestration** — Agents delegate, collaborate, and compose dynamically
- **Continuous Learning** — Agents accumulate experience in private knowledge bases
### Native MCP Support
Integrate tools without writing adapters:
- **Process Transport** — Map Yao processes directly to MCP tools
- **External Servers** — Connect via SSE or STDIO
- **Schema Mapping** — Declarative input/output schemas
### Built-in GraphRAG
- **Vector Search** — Embeddings with OpenAI/FastEmbed
- **Knowledge Graph** — Entity-relationship retrieval
- **Hybrid Search** — Combine vector similarity with graph traversal
### Full-Stack Runtime
Everything in a single executable:
- **All-in-One** — Data, API, Agent, UI in one engine
- **TypeScript Support** — Built-in V8 engine
- **Single Binary** — No Node.js, Python, or containers required
- **Edge-Ready** — Runs on ARM64/x64 devices
