 **An open-source AI agent you can actually live with.** Install it on a machine, give it your messaging accounts, and it becomes a persistent personal agent that grows with you — learning your projects, building its own skills, running tasks on a schedule, and reaching you wherever you are. It's not a coding copilot tethered to an IDE or a chatbot wrapper around a single API. It's an autonomous agent that lives on your server, remembers what it learns, and gets more capable the longer it runs.
