Personal AI agents must increasingly operate across APIs, shells, web surfaces, and desktop GUIs, yet many systems remain tuned to a single interface and offer limited support for user teaching and auditability. We present Syll, an open-source, self-hosted multimodal agent harness that unifies MCP/API tools, CLI execution, and visual GUI control in a modular runtime, enabling agents to coordinate computer use across heterogeneous interfaces while streamlining how users and agents exchange information. At the core of Syll is a bidirectional user-agent interaction layer: users teach procedures through direct demonstration, which Syll compiles into reusable skills; agent execution is translated back into multimodal evidence -- logs, keyframes, and approval checkpoints -- for inspection and control. Syll further externalizes memory, skills, routines, and governance as editable local artifacts, supporting straightforward inspection, extension, and downstream development. Our implementation has been validated on production desktop applications including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Audition, Stardew Valley, macOS Finder and others. We report mechanism-oriented studies that validate multimodal routing, teachable GUI replay, and persistent local artifacts. We hope Syll can serve as a practical open-source foundation for personal automation that users can teach, inspect, and continuously extend.
