What is it?

Genesis takes a high-level objective, such as a new project or a change to an existing repository, and coordinates AI agents to carry it out. Manager agents break the goal into tasks and review results, while executor agents implement and validate candidate changes in isolated Git worktrees. Accepted results are kept in Git history and SQLite runtime data, so later work starts from what was already built.

The project ships as a desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows built with Tauri, with a Phoenix LiveView dashboard for watching the agent tree, inspecting tasks and model usage, and reviewing diffs. A headless mode runs the dashboard and runtime on Linux or macOS servers, and remote development connects a local dashboard to agents on a server over SSH. Users configure their own model provider and API credentials.

The core is written in Elixir on the Erlang/OTP runtime. The repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and is developed by the EvoX Group.

Key features

  • 01Decomposes objectives into tasks delegated between manager and executor agents.
  • 02Runs candidate changes in isolated Git worktrees.
  • 03Stores accepted results in Git history and task data in SQLite.
  • 04Provides a desktop dashboard to view the agent tree, tasks, model usage, and diffs.
  • 05Offers a headless server mode on Linux and macOS.
  • 06Supports remote execution on servers over encrypted SSH tunnels.

Use cases

  • Adding a feature to an existing repository while keeping current behavior intact.
  • Starting a new software project from a written description of the desired outcome.
  • Running long development tasks on a server while monitoring them from a laptop.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/EMI-Group/genesis.git
  2. 2

    Enter the project directory

    cd genesis
  3. 3

    Fetch Elixir dependencies

    mix deps.get
  4. 4

    Start the server, then open http://localhost:4100

    mix phx.server

Things to know

  • Licensed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires sharing modified source when served over a network.
  • Agents need a configured model provider and API credentials.
  • The headless server has no built-in authentication and listens on localhost by default, so remote access needs an SSH tunnel.
  • Running from source requires Elixir 1.20.4 and Erlang/OTP 29.
