taOS

What it does

A self-hosted platform where agents' memory, conversations and files live on machines you own — fully offline when you want it, reaching the cloud only when you choose — spanning a large catalogue of apps, frameworks and models. The authors label it beta and say plainly that many of those install manifests haven't been exercised on real hardware, so expect things not to work and don't move anything you care about into it yet. AGPL-3.0.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

taOS FAQ

Is taOS free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use taOS?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does taOS work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use taOS commercially?

The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
