Overview / Description
CoPaw is an open-source personal AI agent workstation that brings channels, memory, Skills, rules, and operating tools into one control surface for individuals, small teams, and operators. Rather than a single chat box, it works as a workspace for managing AI assistants across many messaging channels, including DingTalk, Feishu, QQ, Discord, Telegram, and Matrix. A browser-based control console lets you inspect providers, memory, and tasks, while a Skills system extends behavior through workspace-native instructions. CoPaw supports recurring workflows and scheduled tasks through a Heartbeat feature, and runs mixed models from both local and hosted providers on a Python runtime with orchestration and safety controls. Deployment is flexible: it runs on a local machine, in Docker, or in the cloud. Because it is open-source, the core is available at no cost, with paid hosting implied but not detailed on the site. CoPaw suits people who want a single, self-hosted desk for personal AI agents, as well as small teams and operators who need a shared, inspectable control model rather than a closed SaaS assistant. Pricing for any hosted tier is not published, so confirm hosting costs on the project site.
