The system keeps episodic memory across sessions and can run on local models via any OpenAI-compatible server.","whyItMatters":"Open Executive packages eight distinct management roles behind one coherent voice, so a company can consult a full virtual C-suite without knowing which specialist is answering.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOpen Executive does not present itself as eight separate chatbots. The user talks to one consistent executive persona, and the system routes each question to the relevant specialist behind the scenes. That architecture is hidden on purpose, so the advice reads as a single management voice rather than a panel of disjointed experts.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system also carries context across sessions. It extracts decisions, initiatives, and advice from past conversations and stores them in SQLite, so a later session can recall what the CFO agent recommended a month earlier.
