Key highlights:

• Local / self-hosted: context and skills run on machines you control, avoiding “walled gardens”.
• Persistent memory & multi-channel: remembers conversation history and supports multiple platforms (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, etc.).
• Automation & proactivity: cron, background tasks, reminders, and proactively evaluating and executing available assistance.
• Extensible & self-modifiable: open-source, community-built skills, clonable instances, and support for integrating Claude, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, etc.
