Self-hosted platform for persistent AI teammates with their own memory, computers and tools, reachable from web, desktop and mobile clients.
Rakazo runs persistent AI bots that keep their own conversations, memory, routines and history, rather than forgetting everything when a chat window closes. It is available on the web, as an Electron desktop app and through an Expo mobile app, and the complete stack can run locally. The project is in beta.
The codebase is TypeScript throughout, with React 19, Vite and Tailwind on the front end, Hono and oRPC on the API, PostgreSQL with Prisma for storage, Better Auth for accounts and Graphile Worker for background jobs. Model credentials stay yours, brought in through Pi.
Bots are given real machines and real tools to work with.
- Computers: shared team computers and isolated private ones, backed by Docker, E2B, Daytona, Box or a trusted local machine.
- Access: browser, terminal, file and graphical desktop control from inside a session.
- Delegation: bots hand work to peer bots or to short-lived subagents.
- Voice mode: spoken replies, dictation and calling a bot, using your own ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Cartesia or Fish Audio key.
- Integrations: Composio or Pipedream Connect catalogs, plus user-installed remote MCP servers, Treg endpoints and OpenAPI documents.
Installing the published images needs only Docker Engine, the Compose plugin, curl and OpenSSL; a script writes an environment file with random secrets and starts everything. Running the backend on a server keeps bots working while your laptop is shut. Connector credentials are encrypted on the server and never returned by the API.
