The platform that Boréal OS serves

Boréal OS exists only because ProductivIA exists. This page summarizes what gets used once the system has booted, with an active ProductivIA account: a sovereign client for the platform, or a complete ProductivIA server once server mode is activated from the interface.

ProductivIA, in one sentence

A creation and productivity environment where intelligent agents take care of execution, freeing up time to think, decide, and invent. The platform is currently accessible by invitation only.

Instead of copying and pasting prompts between a chat, a text editor, a design tool, and a video editor, an intention is stated. The platform calls up the right agents, the right models, the right services, executes, validates, and comes back with a deliverable. Direction, validation, and course correction stay in human hands. Repetitive work disappears; invention takes back the stage.

On Boréal OS, ProductivIA also plays the role that the desktop, the store, and the office suite once played in a classic OS. The difference: everything runs through a single, ultra-optimized web layer, entirely generated and refined by AI for efficiency, rather than through a stack of heterogeneous native applications.

smart_toy

The Assistant

The entry point. State an intention, and the Assistant calls up the right agents, models, and services. Every task starts here, then continues in the dedicated tool to finish — Documents, Filmmaker, Editing, Meeting, and so on.

factory

The Factory

The application workshop. Business tools are designed in natural language, published online for their audiences, or deployed to a private app store, under its own governance.

Matania, the model that chooses the AI — and that can live inside the machine

There is no need to pick "a model" for every request anymore. Matania, ProductivIA's sovereign orchestrator LLM model, does that instead. And on Boréal OS, if installed in residence by the user on a machine with a compatible GPU, it runs directly inside the system: no outbound call is needed for most everyday inferences.

When active locally, Matania is itself a vision-capable model. For everyday tasks — rewriting, summarizing, reading an image, visual validation — it answers from the machine, without calling on any external provider. For anything beyond its scope or requiring particular specialization, it switches to orchestrator mode and coordinates one or more models among 12 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, getimg.ai, Segmind, and ProductivIA's own sovereign models).

hub

16 specialized services

Text, image, video, audio, voice, translation, code, search, vision, OCR. End-to-end multimodal.

shield

No vendor lock-in

Enable, disable, or prioritize any provider with a single setting. The only criteria that matter are the user's own — ethical, geopolitical, economic.

energy_savings_leaf

Frugal by design

Local-first routing: every task gets the right-sized model — no bigger, no costlier, no more polluting than necessary. On Boréal OS, if Matania is installed in residence, frugality goes as far as removing network traffic itself for everyday inferences.

Why Boréal OS is a natural extension of the platform

The platform already covers a large part of the work in the browser. Going further — touching the machine, running locally, guaranteeing no interference, or serving the platform from one's own premises — requires an operating system designed for that purpose.

language

In the browser alone

The agent works in the browser sandbox. That is enough to reason, create, and deliver a production. But the agent does not see the surrounding screen, does not touch local files, and does not control devices. And inference constantly depends on an outbound connection.

hub

With Boréal OS

The agent accesses the machine through about fifty native capabilities — screen, files, audio, Wi-Fi, camera, microphone. The OS itself was designed, configured, and hardened through agentic passes, under human architectural supervision. The application interface stays 100% ProductivIA web, optimized for a single full-screen display. The same Boréal OS can also switch to server mode from the interface to host ProductivIA locally.

A dual-purpose OS: ProductivIA client and server

Boréal OS can be installed on a workstation or on a machine dedicated to serving the platform. The difference is not a matter of a different distribution: it is a matter of which mode is activated.

desktop_windows

Sovereign client

The machine boots into ProductivIA, exposes host capabilities to agents, and keeps the local environment under control: no telemetry, no unnecessary services, no drift imposed by a general-purpose OS.

On-site server

From the interface, server mode turns Boréal OS into a complete host for ProductivIA. It can serve the platform to a group, a class, a team, or an organization. If the machine has a GPU with 16 GB of VRAM, it can also serve Matania locally.

Matania in residence: the local option

On a machine with a compatible GPU, Boréal OS can install Matania in residence. The orchestrator LLM model then stops being just a remote service: it becomes a local presence able to adjust, personalize, and serve everyday inference from the machine. In server mode, Matania can be served to the local platform if the GPU has at least 16 GB of VRAM.

precision_manufacturing

System personalization

Matania observes local usage, proposes adjustments, applies those that have been pre-approved, and adapts the OS to the user's needs. The human keeps supervision of the architecture and the outcome; day-to-day adjustments become agentic.

model_training

Local inference provider

Everyday requests sent to the platform are served by the local GPU. No data leaves the machine for what can be handled on the spot. When a task exceeds the resident model's capabilities, Matania switches to orchestrator and delegates to a partner provider, if that option is chosen.

Four levels of sovereignty

ProductivIA adapts to the degree of control desired. Boréal OS represents the deepest level — where the OS itself is aligned with the mission — and can take on the role of client or server.

cloud_done

1. Sovereign cloud

Immediate browser access. Data hosted on ProductivIA infrastructure in Quebec, never with a third-party hyperscaler.

dns

2. On-site server

Servers assembled and configured locally, deployed on the customer's premises. Boréal OS can fill this role in server mode: it serves ProductivIA locally, with Matania included if the GPU reaches 16 GB of VRAM. See ProductivIA servers.

desktop_windows

3. Agentic client on Windows

Boréal for Windows adds the entire agentic layer to an existing Windows machine. Full host capabilities, but the operating system remains that of a third-party vendor, with its own telemetry and constraints.

4. Native sovereign client / server

Boréal OS. An OS designed, configured, and sealed for this mission. No telemetry, no imposed updates, no outbound monitoring. Code, optimization, and security produced by agents under human supervision. It acts as a client by default, or as a complete ProductivIA server once server mode is activated.
