The README says one process serves its dashboard, CLI, chat channels and scheduled jobs, with a SQLite control-plane database by default and PostgreSQL as an alternative.\n\nThe README says users can create experts with their own workspaces, providers, channels and scheduled jobs. The README lists persona templates, a knowledge base, plugins, Chromium browser automation, remote desktop and beta AgentTeams coordination.\n\nThe README lists Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, WeChat, Telegram, Discord, WeCom and HTTP/SSE/WebSocket access. The README describes octop acp --agent main for inbound ACP use and lists OpenCode, CodeBuddy, Claude Code and Codex as outbound runners.","intended_users":"People who want to host an AI assistant for themselves, a household or a small team and switch between specialist agents for different tasks.","example_tasks":"Create an expert and pick a persona template and model provider for it.\nConnect a chat channel such as Telegram or Discord to an expert.\nSchedule a recurring job in natural language with the cron feature.\nAdd a document corpus to the knowledge base for retrieval.\nDelegate a coding task to OpenCode or Claude Code through ACP.","setup_instructions":"The README describes a macOS/Linux installer that downloads a script and pipes it to bash, and Windows installers that execute a downloaded PowerShell or batch script. The README also lists pip install octop, desktop apps from the project's GitHub Releases page, and docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d. The README instructs users to open a new terminal after installation, run octop init to create the database, JWT secret and first admin account, then run octop run and open the dashboard on local port 8088. The README contains the exact commands.","limitations":"The README lists macOS, Linux and Windows and requires a multi-core CPU, a few GB of RAM for the process and model/embedding caches, and enough disk for the database, workspaces and document corpora. The README says the installer provisions Python 3.12 with uv under ~/.octop/, without requiring an existing Python installation; its PyPI route is for people who manage Python themselves. The README describes per-agent model-provider configuration and channel credentials. The README says browser automation uses Chromium, available through the installer or dashboard. The README labels AgentTeams as beta, the mobile client as closed beta, and the roadmap as indicative. The README instructs users to run octop backup before cross-version upgrades and says schema migration happens automatically on the next boot. The repository can change at any time; check its README before you install.","data_handling":"The README describes local-first storage under ~/.octop/ and SQLite as the default control-plane database, with PostgreSQL optional. The README also lists local disk, Docker, PostgreSQL and COS/S3 as workspace backends. The README says PostgreSQL-backed deployments use the same database connection for agent memory by default; file-based memory requires setting the agent's memory backend type to sqlite. Data destinations depend on the model providers, chat channels and storage backends you configure. The README says sensitive data is redacted before it leaves the workspace. The README does not mention telemetry.","compatibility":"The README lists macOS, Linux and Windows, desktop apps for those platforms, and FnOS NAS packages.
