Beav

Project Overview

Beav (formerly RedBox) is an open-source AI content studio that chains collection, topic selection, creation and operations into one workflow: save materials with a browser extension, find topics from daily briefings, write and rewrite with AI, generate images or edit talking-head videos in the media studio, and schedule tasks on the operations calendar.

It is local-first, keeping your asset library and long-term account memory on your device. Unlike general AI tools built for programmers, it is designed around the content assets and recurring operations of social media creators.
