Personal AI agent for your Mac using your own keys

Agibot is an always-on personal AI agent that runs on your Mac. It keeps working in the background, even after you close the window. It can send you a morning brief, keep an eye on things and tell you when something changes, and handle tasks on the web for you. Chat with it in the app, on Telegram or on Slack. It remembers what you tell it, learns from your corrections and asks before doing anything risky. Free forever with your own API key.

@k_taro56 Fair question, and honestly Dots and Grok Bot are both impressive. If you want an agent with its own cloud computer that keeps going while your laptop is off, and you already pay for ChatGPT or SuperGrok, they’re a great fit.
But running locally isn’t the only reason to choose Agibot. Here are a few others:
It’s free. Both of those need a paid plan. Agibot costs nothing with your own API key: you pay the AI provider for what you use, with nothing added on top. Or run a local model and pay nothing at all.
It works with any model. Dots runs on OpenAI’s models and Grok Bot is xAI’s. In Agibot you can use Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and more, switch whenever a better one comes out, and set backup models in case one goes down.
Your memory isn’t tied to one company. What it learns about you is saved on your computer, and you can read, edit or delete any of it. If you switch models, it all comes with you.
You can reach it on Telegram too. Chat with it in the app, on Telegram or on Slack, all in one conversation.
You set the rules. Every tool is set to allow, ask or block, and there’s a daily spending cap and a log of everything it does.
The trade-off is that it only runs while your computer is on, or on a server you leave running. If that works for you, it’s hard to beat for $0.
"asks before doing anything risky" is doing a lot of work in that sentence and it's the part I'd actually want to understand before trusting an always-on agent with my own API key running unattended. is "risky" a fixed list you ship with, deleting files, sending messages, spending money, or something the agent itself judges case by case? a fixed list is auditable but will miss things, a judgment call is more flexible but means the bar moves depending on how the model is feeling that day.
@galdayan Great question, and it’s the right one to ask before leaving an agent running on its own.
It’s a fixed policy, not the model’s judgment. Every tool has a setting you control: allow, ask or block. The app enforces it outside the model, so the model can’t decide something is “safe enough” and can’t approve itself.
Out of the box, file writes, web fetches, scheduling, deleting memories and browser control are all set to ask. Shell access is off until you turn it on. Even then, every command asks, and you can’t set it to always allow. For messages, it can only reply in chats you’ve paired with it. It can’t message new people.
On the “a fixed list will miss things” point: anything new, like the tools from an MCP server you just added, starts at ask. So when the list misses something, Agibot stops and asks you instead of going ahead.
When it’s running unattended, approval requests come to you as buttons on Telegram or Slack. If you don’t answer, the answer is no.
For your API key, you set a daily spending cap during setup. Agibot checks the estimated cost before every call, and if it doesn’t know a model’s price, it blocks the call rather than guess. Those are estimates, though, so I’d still set a limit with your provider too.
So in the end, your trust goes into what you set to allow and which MCP servers you install. Everything it does is logged in Activity, and one click stops it all.
