    From the README

    A smarter, self-hosted AI assistant — multi-user, multi-agent.

    Octop is an open-source, self-hosted AI assistant. It's not just a tool — it's a digital life form that can operate in parallel. Through its multi-agent architecture, it builds an intelligent environment that is both independent and collaborative for teams, families, and individuals. Best of all, it runs entirely on your machine — the fully self-hosted design means privacy is never a compromise, while single-process startup makes the powerful web console, CLI, and IM integrations readily accessible.

    Chat through the Web Dashboard, Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, Discord, WeCom, or programmatic HTTP/SSE/WebSocket. Extend capabilities with the expert library, Connectors (OAuth + MCP), and ACP integration for IDE workflows.

    Octop is a self-hosted AI assistant platform for households and small teams. It runs a single process that serves a web dashboard, a CLI, IM channels (Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, Discord, WeCom, and more), and cron automation — all sharing one control-plane database under ~/.octop/ (SQLite by default; PostgreSQL optional).

    Octop's design goal: keep every conversation, workspace, and credential on your own machine, while giving each user a personal team of specialized agents they can switch between per task.
