A self-hosted personal agent platform with pluggable LLMs, real tools, Docker sandboxes, a secrets vault, reusable Skills and scheduled Agents. It all runs on your own machine.
Most AI chat apps stop at conversation. You ask, the model answers, and you go and do the work. I wanted something that could do the work: search the web, read and edit files, call APIs, check my email, run code, and keep doing that on a schedule while I'm away. I also wanted it to run on my hardware, with my choice of model, and without my API keys ending up in a prompt.
That project is PersonalAI. This post covers what it does and how it's built.
