Tool insights
Rakazo lets you run AI bots that keep their own memory and conversations, work on a schedule, and use your apps. You can host it yourself for free or pay for a hosted bot computer.
Most AI chat tools forget context and only act when you type. Rakazo gives you bots that stay running, remember earlier work and handle recurring tasks across your apps without you starting each one by hand.
Worth a look for developers and technical founders who want persistent, self-hostable bots and a choice of models. Probably not for people who want a simple chat app with no setup, or who need a documented public API, which isn't stated on the maker's site.
What it does
Rakazo is an open source platform from Inbox Zero Inc. for running AI bots that stay around between sessions. Each bot has its own memory and its own conversations. You give a bot a job, connect it to your apps, and reach it from the app or from chat tools you already use.
The main use case is handing off recurring work across connected tools such as Gmail, GitHub and Notion. Bots run on a computer you control or on a hosted bot computer. When you self-host, those bot computers run in Docker or a sandbox.
Key features
- Persistent bots with separate memory and conversations.
- Routines that start on a schedule, on a webhook, or on a GitHub event.
- Recorded computer tasks can be saved as reusable skills.
- Approval can be required for actions you choose.
- A different model can be picked for each bot.
- Bots can delegate work to each other in groups.
- Bots can call you in the app when they need input.
- You can mention or text bots from Slack, WhatsApp and Telegram.
- Local models work through an OpenAI-compatible server.
