What is it?

OwnPilot is a self-hosted personal AI assistant platform built with TypeScript, a Hono API gateway, a React web UI, and PostgreSQL storage. It lets you connect multiple AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and many aggregators or local models such as Ollama, and keeps personal data such as notes, tasks, contacts, calendar, and expenses in your own database.

Beyond chat, it provides autonomous "Claw" agents with isolated workspaces, scheduled or event-driven execution, and subclaw orchestration, along with soul agents that have persistent identities and heartbeat cycles. Tools cover files, code execution, browsing, email, git, and more, and the platform can act as an MCP client and server. Messages can be handled through Telegram and WhatsApp, and IoT devices can be controlled over MQTT.

The project is MIT licensed and runs via Docker Compose or from source with Node.js 22+ and pnpm.
