PocketPaw

PocketPaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent designed for modularity, security, and rapid deployment. It can be installed with a single command and is ready to use in under a minute, requiring no Docker, tunneling, or configuration files. The agent supports multiple messaging channels including Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp, all sharing the same context and memory. It offers three LLM backends: Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI, and Ollama for fully local models. Security is built-in with Fernet AES-encrypted credentials, a 3-tier tool policy, Guardian AI secondary review of dangerous commands, and an append-only audit log. The modular pip extras system allows adding capabilities like semantic vector search (Mem0) or browser automation (Playwright) without bloating the core installation. The Command Center feature enables multi-agent task decomposition and live progress streaming with approval gates. PocketPaw is MIT-licensed, has no telemetry, and no cloud dependency, giving users full control over their data and infrastructure.
