About Matebot

Matebot is an open source Grok Bot alternative for persistent AI teammates: bots that can use a browser and shell, remember the work around a job, run routines on a schedule, and ask for approval when they reach a boundary. It is designed for practical operational work rather than one-off chat.

Why it exists

Useful agents should be understandable and controllable by the people who run them. Matebot keeps routines in readable Markdown, supports multiple model providers, records actions in an audit log, and lets operators keep model keys, browser sessions, and deployment infrastructure under their own control. The same bots and routines work across the web, desktop, and mobile clients.

Built on Rakazo

Matebot is our own branded deployment of Rakazo, an Apache-2.0 project by Inbox Zero Inc. We run it on our own infrastructure, carry its licence and attribution, and keep our changes close to upstream so the work upstream does reaches this build. Bug reports about this deployment belong in this repository; the upstream project handles its own.

Running it yourself
