+### Intelligence on your own machine
+
+To try Intelligence on one Mac instead of the managed service, follow
+[Evaluate Intelligence locally](https://docs.copilotkit.ai/intelligence/self-hosting-local). The free
+[Developer plan](https://www.copilotkit.ai/pricing) qualifies. The local licence lasts 30 days and
+`npx copilotkit@latest local renew` renews it as often as you need, while your account is in good
+standing. It is a preview for macOS with Docker Desktop,
+not a production installation. Run its
+`npx copilotkit@latest local connect` from the OpenBot root, where `.env` is.
+
+That command writes `INTELLIGENCE_API_URL`, `INTELLIGENCE_GATEWAY_WS_URL` and
+`CPK_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` to `.env`. OpenBot reads the first two as they are, but takes its project
+key only from `INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` and refuses to start without it, so copy the `cpk-...` value
+across before `bash scripts/start.sh`:
+
+```sh
+INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY=cpk-...   # the value of CPK_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY
+```
+
+To give the Bots a Learning container on that stack, see
+[Automatic Learning](docs/automatic-learning.md).

 - **Secrets never enter the transcript**: the trail records that a secret was requested and how long it was, not what it said.
 - **Bring your own agent**: any AG-UI endpoint is a Bot, on a framework or hand-written. Endpoints are validated with the same target checks used for browser navigation, and an auth header is stored write-only.
 - **Components instead of prose**: compiled React components live in `app/src/components/gallery/`, sandboxed ones are authored in `/admin/playground` and published with no deployment. Every call asks the server whether the component exists, is published, and is not withheld from that Bot. Data functions are granted per component.
-- **Governed MCP**: Google Drive and Notion ship in the catalogue, and Composio brokers a few hundred more apps behind one account, each reached as the person asking. The catalogue carries only vendors this deployment stands behind, so adding one is a review of that vendor. Custom servers must pass URL checks; unknown tools and custom-server tools are treated as writes, and a catalogue tool the server advertises but does not name as a write classifies as a read. A Bot is told which connectors exist here and which it holds, so it says it has not been granted one rather than browsing to the vendor's website.

A Bot is told which connectors exist here and which it holds, so it says it has not been granted one rather than browsing to the vendor's website.
 - **Skills are instructions, not capabilities**: personal skills attach only to Bots their author owns, deployment skills are admin-owned, and both are invoked with `/` in the composer. A Bot granted the shipped `skill-creator` skill can write one with you in the conversation, and saves it only when you press the button on the card.
 - **Sign in with what your company already has**: Google, Microsoft or Okta from the environment, or a company's own SAML or OpenID Connect provider registered while the deployment runs and routed by email domain. Any one turns sign-in on; several may be configured at once.
 - **Decide who gets in**: `/admin/people` lists everybody who has signed in, promotes and demotes them, and removes access, which ends the session they are using and stops the next sign-in. Every change is on the audit trail.
 - **An audit trail you can read**: `/admin/audit` lists what was permitted, what was refused and what failed, and every refusal carries the rule that caused it.
 - **Credentials encrypted at rest**: stored through `/admin/credentials`, never returned by an API, and redacted from audit events.
 - **Loopback by default**: computers bind to `127.0.0.1` and require a per-container token, so nothing reaches a logged-in browser by knowing its port. The supervisor binds there too, because it holds the Docker socket and its token is a shared secret rather than a network boundary.
 - **Durable threads and memory**: conversations survive restarts through CopilotKit Intelligence, and each deployment stamps the threads it owns.
-- **Routines**: ask a Bot to do something on a schedule and it does, running as you, in the channel you asked in. A 15-minute floor and a cap of 20 enabled routines keep a sentence from scheduling more than a person meant, and ten failures in a row switch a routine off rather than burn model spend forever. Needs a worker process; see [docs/routines.md](docs/routines.md).
