@girish probably for when we fixed the usernames having trouble with special chars and allowing just a dot which couldn't be deleted!

@girish Can a migrations check be added to run until none remain, which hopefully evades the stuck condition too?

@rmdes ooh should be easy to add to CCAI / CAG for easier installs.

@timconsidine not sure why it needs to be retired so soon. It can still work as is for many moons.

Perhaps monitoring access would be a better metric for when it becomes obsolete and unused.

It only took two years. Not bad

@timconsidine I simply remapped my brain 🧠 and fingers.

@crazybrad no fear, the enchanting experience is key.

Check the speed of your storage in MB/s.

In some shared VPS environments this gets low when the server array is overprovisioned.

@marcusquinn token burn is real, and default config doesn't care.

Hence openrouter's auto route helps

As does this config optimization

@timconsidine said in Agent Zero - A personal, organic agentic framework that grows and learns with you:

Specifically about notifying the agent, I'm just building a telegram invoked task - go get this invoice. That might be relevant to your comment.

Yep, like a stack of crons, one for polling the email, then another cron polling the processing of the attachments, then another to move the task to a place the agent can pick it up, and/or like you said a TG task. (not sure it needs to go out to get back in when it's all local..)

@timconsidine I like your setup, only thing I would add is something to notify the agent, vs the agent polling, burning credits. (unless that's already solved)

This thread is inspirational for how to tier your model usage, especially if you're hitting token limits.

@timconsidine how does it access your email?

How about big dots with numbers inside?

You might need some updates, friend.

@timconsidine I hear you. The experience is so different if you choose an option that isn't as polished yet.

I would suggest Telegram or Discord to start as those work well. Haven't tried others.

The latest evolution to stay is OpenClaw as it retains its roots and is copyright free.

The gateway really is the cool interface on almost any chat app.

Wow things are moving so fast..

Anthropic complained Clawd is too close to Claude, so they rebranded to Moltbot. The next evolution, ha brilliant.

PROJECTS!

Agent Zero now supports Projects – isolated workspaces with their own prompts, files, memory, and secrets, so you can create dedicated setups for each use case without mixing contexts.

A personal, organic agentic framework that grows and learns with you

• Agent Zero is not a predefined agentic framework. It is designed to be dynamic, organically growing, and learning as you use it.
• Agent Zero is fully transparent, readable, comprehensible, customizable, and interactive.
• Agent Zero uses the computer as a tool to accomplish its (your) tasks.

Key Features

1. General-purpose Assistant

• Agent Zero is not pre-programmed for specific tasks (but can be). It is meant to be a general-purpose personal assistant. Give it a task, and it will gather information, execute commands and code, cooperate with other agent instances, and do its best to accomplish it.
• It has a persistent memory, allowing it to memorize previous solutions, code, facts, instructions, etc., to solve tasks faster and more reliably in the future.

2. Computer as a Tool

• Agent Zero uses the operating system as a tool to accomplish its tasks. It has no single-purpose tools pre-programmed. Instead, it can write its own code and use the terminal to create and use its own tools as needed.
• The only default tools in its arsenal are online search, memory features, communication (with the user and other agents), and code/terminal execution. Everything else is created by the agent itself or can be extended by the user.
• Tool usage functionality has been developed from scratch to be the most compatible and reliable, even with very small models.
• Default Tools: Agent Zero includes tools like knowledge, code execution, and communication.
• Creating Custom Tools: Extend Agent Zero's functionality by creating your own custom tools.
• Instruments: Instruments are a new type of tool that allow you to create custom functions and procedures that can be called by Agent Zero.

3. Multi-agent Cooperation

• Every agent has a superior agent giving it tasks and instructions. Every agent then reports back to its superior.
• In the case of the first agent in the chain (Agent 0), the superior is the human user; the agent sees no difference.
• Every agent can create its subordinate agent to help break down and solve subtasks. This helps all agents keep their context clean and focused.

4. Completely Customizable and Extensible

• Almost nothing in this framework is hard-coded. Nothing is hidden. Everything can be extended or changed by the user.
• The whole behavior is defined by a system prompt in the prompts/default/agent.system.md file. Change this prompt and change the framework dramatically.
• The framework does not guide or limit the agent in any way. There are no hard-coded rails that agents have to follow.
• Every prompt, every small message template sent to the agent in its communication loop can be found in the prompts/ folder and changed.
• Every default tool can be found in the python/tools/ folder and changed or copied to create new predefined tools.

5. Communication is Key

• Give your agent a proper system prompt and instructions, and it can do miracles.
• Agents can communicate with their superiors and subordinates, asking questions, giving instructions, and providing guidance. Instruct your agents in the system prompt on how to communicate effectively.
• The terminal interface is real-time streamed and interactive. You can stop and intervene at any point. If you see your agent heading in the wrong direction, just stop and tell it right away.
• There is a lot of freedom in this framework. You can instruct your agents to regularly report back to superiors asking for permission to continue. You can instruct them to use point-scoring systems when deciding when to delegate subtasks. Superiors can double-check subordinates' results and dispute. The possibilities are endless.

Things you can build with Agent Zero

• Development Projects - "Create a React dashboard with real-time data visualization"

• Data Analysis - "Analyze last quarter's NVIDIA sales data and create trend reports"

• Content Creation - "Write a technical blog post about microservices"

• System Admin - "Set up a monitoring system for our web servers"

• Research - "Gather and summarize five recent AI papers about CoT prompting"
