Overview
What Enrai is, what it includes, and how the workspace is organized.
Enrai
Enrai is a self-hosted coding workspace that combines:
- a Monaco-based editor
- a terminal backed by PTY sessions
- local preview tabs
- a file explorer
- an AI chat interface
- Codex session and rollout control
It is designed for local-first usage and internal deployments where the application runs on a trusted machine or inside a firewall-protected environment. It is also designed to be operated by agents as well as humans: queued tasks, rollout continuation, terminal-backed workspaces, and callback hooks all make it usable inside larger automation flows.
