Tencent releases Octop, a self-hosted AI assistant
Octop is an open-source, self-hosted AI assistant.
Through its multi-agent architecture, it builds an intelligent environment that is both independent and collaborative for teams, families, and individuals.
Best of all, it runs entirely on your machine, the fully self-hosted design means privacy is never a compromise, while single-process startup makes the powerful web console, CLI, and IM integrations readily accessible.
Surfaces:
- Web dashboard — chat, experts / teams, connectors, channels, cron, knowledge, plugins, settings
- Desktop client — native apps for Windows / macOS / Linux; FnOS packages for NAS
- CLI — octop run, octop chats, octop acp, admin commands
- HTTP/SSE/WebSocket API — full programmatic access
- Remote desktop — dashboard control of the host desktop session
Deploy using either desktop app (Windows, MacOS, Linux) or using Docker
