Your own AI agent — chat, agent, memory, and Workspace, on a server you own. Log in and start in seconds.
AI is becoming everyday infrastructure. So it is strange that who you talked to and what you taught it keeps piling up on someone else’s server. Takos keeps chat, agent, and memory inside a server you own.
Conversations, memory, and files all sit inside your own VM or cloud. Nothing piles up on a vendor’s servers, and you can export everything and move to another environment anytime.
Tied to neither a SaaS nor a single vendor. The same Takos runs on Cloudflare, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, or your own VM — and you can switch substrate later.
AGPL, with all code public. Fork it for your needs — add features or remove them. You are never boxed into a black-box “as offered” scope.
Chat to talk, agents to act, memory that accumulates, and a Workspace that ties it together. They become your own AI environment only when they mesh — not as standalone features.
Many models, one thread.
Use cloud LLMs and local models, switching between them in the same conversation. Threads are organized inside a Workspace, and all history stays on your own server. What you said to which model never leaves for a vendor.
Calls tools, touches files, runs steps.
A Rust agent engine handles tool calls, file operations, and multi-step runs. Over MCP it reaches installable apps too — let an agent write docs or update a sheet.
The more you talk, the more context grows.
Memory accumulates in the Workspace from your interactions and carries context into the next chat. Memory also lives on your own server — never trained on, never sent out.
The unit of people, agents, apps, and data.
A Workspace is the unit of activity. Each Workspace is isolated, with its own permissions, and you can add the apps you need to it. Connect to other Takos and the fediverse over ActivityPub when you want.
First-party InstallableApps that work with the Takos distribution. Install them as normal Capsules, and remove them when you do not need them.
An office suite that unifies docs, slides, and sheets in one worker. Agents can edit files directly over MCP, so you replace Google Docs / Slides / Sheets inside your own Workspace.
A computer-use environment your agents can call — hand off browser actions and command execution to automate routine, multi-step work.
Self-hosted ActivityPub / community social. An independent product that connects to the fediverse and can be installed as a normal Capsule — your data stays in while you reach out.
How running Takos on your own server differs from delegating to a SaaS provider — typical trade-offs framed around who owns the data (not true of every product).
| Takos (self-host) | SaaS chat (delegated) | |
|---|---|---|
| Where data lives | Your own VM / cloud | The vendor’s servers |
| Memory / history | Kept in your Workspace | Held by the provider, may train on it |
| Vendor lock-in | Export / migrate anytime | Migration is often hard |
| Customization | Fork freely under AGPL | Only what is offered |
| Federation | Connected via ActivityPub | Mostly closed |
| Price (self-host) | Software is free (infra only) | Per-seat / usage billing |
