Overview
nanobot is an open-source personal AI agent you install on your own computer or server. You talk to it in a browser page, the terminal or chat apps such as Telegram, Slack, Discord, WeChat or email, and it can read and write files in a folder you choose, search the web, remember your preferences and run tasks on a schedule. You connect the model service or local model it uses. It suits people who want their own always-on assistant without a hosted platform.
It runs as one small agent you host yourself, and the same assistant answers in your browser and in the chat apps you already use.

Good to know
Keep a personal assistant running on your own machine that you can reach from a browser or a chat app. It can summarize files in a folder you pick, look things up and send scheduled results back to the conversation.
Limits
- nanobot does not supply a model account. Model fees or local hardware needs depend on the service you connect.
- Scheduled automations need the gateway running and the computer awake; missed times are not replayed after a restart. WebUI access gives full control of the agent, so share it only with people who should be able to administer the agent.
