About Gray
Gray is voice-first AI you operate like a terminal. You speak; it runs real work across your machines — SSH sessions, multi-agent jobs, files, scheduled tasks — then speaks back. It is self-hosted, private by architecture, and built for the people who run the internet’s plumbing. Gray is made by Layer Gray, Inc.
