What it does
An open-source AI agent from Nous Research that you host yourself. It keeps memory across sessions, creates its own skills as it goes, and reaches you through a messaging gateway covering Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Signal. There is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, a terminal installer, and a cloud deployment option.
