Source Project

jaylfc/taOS

Self-hosted AI agent OS. Your memory, chat, agents, and files stay on hardware you own, offline by default, cloud by choice. Offline AI memory (taOSmd), self-hosted multi-framework group chat, a full web desktop + app store, and auto-clustering across the consumer hardware you already have (Orange/Raspberry Pi, Mac mini, gaming PC).
