What is it?

Pi Durable Assistant is a self-hosted personal AI agent that keeps running work alive across process crashes. Tasks, conversations and document state are persisted to SQLite, so unfinished work can be recovered after a restart and its result viewed later in the browser.

The project runs as a Node.js 22 server with a plain JavaScript web UI using server-sent events, and it can be started locally with a built-in faux model for trying out the interface without an API key. For real use, it connects to OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-style model APIs. It also offers foreground and background subagents, one-time or interval-based scheduled tasks, persistent notes, image and text attachments, optional webhook or Feishu notifications, and a WeChat iLink channel through a separate container.

Deployment is provided through Docker Compose, binding to localhost by default with HTTP Basic Auth. The project is described as an experimental single-user implementation rather than an official Pi Durable product.
