Genesis

Open source · Self-hosted · Runs on your machine

Your AI agent, everywhere you chat.

Genesis is one Gateway process on hardware you own. Connect Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal and more — the same agent answers from your phone, your terminal, or a browser dashboard.

Channels

Use the chat apps you already have.

Every channel is first-class, with its own pairing flow. One session, one memory, one tool surface — shared across all of them.

What it does

Built for agents that actually do things.

Workspace isolation, routing, memory, approvals and automation — out of the box, on your terms.

You stay in control

Messages, sessions and credentials live on your machine. Nothing leaves unless you point it somewhere.

Multi-agent routing

Isolated agents per channel, workspace or sender — each with its own memory and tool policy.

Sandbox & approvals

Lock down sessions with Docker, SSH or OpenShell. Approve sensitive tool calls before they run.

Cron, hooks & skills

Schedule recurring jobs, react to events, and teach new skills with plain markdown.

Canvas & voice

Pair iOS and Android nodes for live canvas, camera, voice wake and push-to-talk.

Extensible by plugins

Add channels, model providers, tools and skills. The SDK and manifest format are documented.
