[Tool] Local desktop AI workspace with live CoinGecko prices, no accounts

[Tetramatix]

What Sorana is

Sorana is a personal desktop AI knowledge workspace and agent harness. It learns from your documents, conversations and actions, and uses that memory to chat, dispatch AI agents, manage email and calendar, browse the web and run local models, all in one private workspace.

You give it a goal. It plans the steps, sends specialized subagents to work in parallel, acts across your files, email, calendar and knowledge base, then reviews its own work before answering. It runs on your machine and it does not forget a project, a preference or a decision.

A few things that make it different in practice:

• It is portable. It runs from a USB stick. No install, no account, no cloud sync. Windows, Linux and MacOS builds are available.
  Your data stays yours. Models can run locally, and nothing leaves your machine unless you want it to.
  
• It remembers. Open it tomorrow and it already knows where you left off, so you stop explaining yourself again.
  
• It shows its work. Every answer lists the sources it used, and you can see what it searched and why it reached a conclusion.
  
• It handles messy archives. Point it at a folder of thousands of files and it groups them into meaningful categories on a visual canvas.
  
• It reads scans and images. Built in OCR and vision make PDFs, screenshots and photos searchable and ready to ask questions about.
  
• It picks the right model for the job. A fast model for simple steps, a stronger one when the task needs deeper thinking, with automatic failover if a provider goes down.

What is new: CoinGecko inside the chat

The built in chat can now reach CoinGecko through an MCP connection. In plain language: you ask about a coin in the chat and Sorana fetches live market data and answers with a table.

Examples:

• "What can CoinGecko tell me about a coin?"
• "What is bitcoin's price in USD right now?"
• "What is Ethereum trading at right now?"
• "Show ethereum's 24h change and market cap"
• "Compare bitcoin and ethereum by market cap"
• "List the top 10 coins by market cap"
• "Show bitcoin's price over the last 30 days"
• "What is the price of bitcoin and ethereum right now?"

What it is not

Not a trading tool, not a portfolio tracker, no signals, no token, no sale.

Portable from a USB stick with local models is a rare combination, nice work. A few questions from someone building a tool myself: can the MCP connection be pointed at other data sources beyond CoinGecko, and how does the model failover behave when a provider rate limits mid task? Also curious how long agent runs hold up on battery powered machines.
