An open-source Grok Bot alternative

Akeru Bot gives each bot its own tools, instructions, and memory while keeping the application and environment under your control. Bring your existing Grok subscription, or connect Claude, Codex, Kimi, or OpenCode.

Free and MIT licensed. No Akeru account required.

Memory that outlives the conversation

A bot carries what it learned into the next conversation.

Relay's instructions

You maintain the checkout service. Run the tests before you call something fixed, and keep pull requests small.

Its own instructions

Write a profile for each bot. The bot follows it in every chat.

  • Helpers for big requests

    A bot can hand parts of a request to temporary helpers, up to three at once, and pull their results back together.

  • Wherever you already talk

    Reach your bots from Slack, Discord, Telegram, iMessage, or WhatsApp.

  • Voice calls

    Call a bot from the web or desktop app when typing is too slow.

  • Sandboxes you pick

    Run work in a local workspace or in E2B, Daytona, Vercel Sandbox, Upstash Box, Tenki, Railway, or Ascii Box.

  • Open it from any device

    Use a phone, tablet, browser, or second computer. Nothing proxies through a hosted Akeru service.

  • Memory you can read

    Inspect, edit, or clear the notes a bot keeps about you and your work.

Up and running in three steps

Your environment owns the chats, bot profiles, and memory. Run the environment on your machine or connect it to a cloud sandbox that you control.
