Field notes
NORA frames computer assistance as a four-step loop: conversation, system context, explicit permission, and action across tools, files, or applications. Its Canvas interface is currently labeled a scripted concept preview and explicitly states that it has no microphone, file, or system access. The site also advertises a Raspberry Pi 5 ARM64 image, a PC ISO, documentation, architecture and status pages, and a GitHub source link.
