OpenPhoenix

Rise clean. Leave no ashes. 🔥

Your own AI assistant, in a single file you can carry on a USB stick.
No Node, no Python, no runtime to install, nothing phoning home. It
talks to you in the terminal, on Telegram and eight other chat apps,
runs real tools on your machine, and remembers only what you tell it
to keep.

phoenix               # chat, right here, right now
phoenix serve         # go live on your chat apps
phoenix run "task"    # one shot, zero residue

Why you might like it

• It sets itself up. First run hunts for API keys you already
  have, tests them against live models, keeps the one that answers.
• You choose what survives. Ghost forgets everything, session
  remembers until restart, recall keeps plain text notes you can read
  and delete yourself. No hidden database.
• Every door starts locked. Empty allowlist means nobody gets in.
  No web password means no web UI. You open doors on purpose.
• Small enough to trust. Six dependencies, no async runtime, no
  build scripts. You can read it before handing it a shell.
• One config file. Plain TOML, mode 600. Secrets can stay in env
  vars and never touch disk.

Coming from another AI gateway? Phoenix spots your old setup on first
run and asks whether to bring it along or start fresh. Your answer
decides; saying no leaves the old setup completely untouched. See
Migration.
