Loki is an open, local-first personal agent for people who want an AI that does real work instead of living in a chat box. It reasons with the model provider you choose, operates a terminal and browser, remembers useful context, builds reusable skills, delegates to subagents, and runs scheduled jobs.
Loki uses a real terminal, files, web research, browser automation, and connected services. It retains useful memories, turns repeated work into skills, and splits larger outcomes across specialized subagents. It meets you through a CLI, rich terminal UI, desktop app, messaging gateways, scheduled jobs, and remote hosts.
Bring your own models and keys. A narrow, understandable agent core is extended at the edges through skills and plugins instead of waiting on a central vendor, and the runtime stays wherever you choose to keep it.
Loki starts from the open-source work in Nous Research's Hermes Agent, preserving its Git history and MIT attribution while tracking a read-only upstream remote. It is a standalone project, not a GitHub fork and not an official Nous Research product, and is currently in its foundation phase. Read the source and roadmap in the Loki repository.
