open-octo / octo-agent
Open-source, single-binary, self-hosted AI agent — your models and data stay on your machine. A coding agent on par with Claude Code and a personal assistant lighter than OpenClaw, across eight interfaces (TUI, CLI, Web, desktop, IM, VS Code, Obsidian, Mobile), all in one MIT-licensed Go binary running on any model.
Why this job: says: personal assistant; topics: chatbot

What it does
- A single ~40 MB Go binary. one command to download, copy to any server, and run. No Node / Python / Ruby dependency tree; no npm mirror, node-gyp build failure, or version conflict headaches.
- No cache degradation. prompt caching is tuned per provider; measured hit rates for Kimi, DeepSeek, and Qwen are all 99%+, keeping your token bill predictable.
- Eight interfaces. TUI, CLI, Web UI, desktop app, IM bridge, VS Code, Obsidian, and mobile — few other agent projects cover this many entry points at once.
- Zero telemetry. no IP, device model, model choice, or usage behavior is collected — no telemetry hooks at all. The Web UI ships every asset it needs — icons are bundled, text uses system fonts — so opening it touches no CDN. The only thing
- Desktop installer around 100 MB. compare that to Codex desktop and WorkBuddy, which often weigh in around 1 GB. A thin agent harness shouldn't need that much space.
