## Why CachiBot?

Most AI platforms force you to choose: chatbot UIs with no automation, workflow builders with no conversational AI, or developer frameworks that take weeks to ship.

**CachiBot gives you all three.** Build specialized bots, deploy them to any messaging platform, run them in collaborative rooms, and automate workflows — all from a visual dashboard with full transparency into what your agents are doing.

</p>

## Install

### Linux / macOS

```bash
curl -fsSL cachibot.ai/install.sh | bash
```

Sets up Python, a virtual environment, and a systemd service — everything you need in one command.

### Windows

```powershell
irm cachibot.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

### pip

```bash
pip install cachibot
```

Then start the server:

```bash
cachibot server
```

Open **http://localhost:6392** — the frontend is bundled and served automatically. No separate build step.

### Configure your API keys

You can set API keys directly from the dashboard UI — no environment variables required. Just open the settings panel and add your keys there.

If you prefer environment variables, those work too:

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"       # OpenAI / GPT-4
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key"    # Claude
export MOONSHOT_API_KEY="your-key"     # Kimi
# or use Ollama locally (no key needed)
```

### CLI Usage

```bash
cachibot server                    # Start the dashboard
cachibot "summarize this project"  # Run a single task
cachibot                           # Interactive mode
cachi server                       # Short alias
```

## Features

### Multi-Agent Platform

- **Unlimited Specialized Bots** — Create bots with custom system prompts, tool selections, and model routing
- **Collaborative Rooms** — Run 2-4 bots together in real-time to solve complex tasks
- **Bot Marketplace** — Pre-built templates for common use cases (code review, data analysis, writing, support)

### Platform Integrations

Deploy bots to **7 messaging platforms** with built-in adapters:

Telegram · Discord · Slack · Microsoft Teams · WhatsApp · Viber · LINE

### Multimodal AI

- **Voice Conversations** — Talk to your bots with real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech
- **Image Generation** — DALL-E, Google Imagen, Stability AI, Grok
- **Audio Synthesis** — OpenAI TTS, ElevenLabs
- **12+ LLM Providers** — Claude, GPT-4, Kimi, Gemini, Ollama, Groq, and more

### 50+ Built-in Tools

Powered by [Tukuy](https://github.com/jhd3197/Tukuy) plugins:

- File operations, sandboxed Python execution, web search
- Knowledge base with vector search and document upload
- Task management, scheduling (cron, interval, event-triggered), background jobs
- Git operations, HTTP requests, SQL queries
- Reusable functions with step-level dependencies and retries

### Security & Control

- **Visual Approval Flows** — Approve or reject risky operations before they execute
- **Sandboxed Execution** — Python runs in isolation with AST-based risk analysis
- **Workspace Isolation** — All file access scoped to the workspace
- **Full Audit Trail** — Every action logged and visible in the dashboard

## What Can You Build?

- **Customer Support Bot** — Deploy to Telegram with a knowledge base of your docs, auto-answer FAQs
- **Data Analysis Room** — 3 bots (SQL specialist + Python analyst + report writer) collaborating on insights
- **Voice Assistant** — Talk to a bot with STT/TTS, manage tasks and reminders hands-free
- **Content Pipeline** — Research bot + writer bot + image generator producing blog posts end-to-end
- **DevOps Agent** — Monitor repos, run sandboxed scripts, send alerts to Slack on schedule

## Supported Providers

CachiBot uses [Prompture](https://github.com/jhd3197/Prompture) for model management with auto-discovery — set an API key and available models appear automatically.

| Provider | Example Models | Environment Variable |
|----------|---------------|---------------------|
| OpenAI | GPT-4o, GPT-4, o1 | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
| Anthropic | Claude Sonnet, Opus, Haiku | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
| Moonshot | Kimi K2.5 | `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` |
| Google | Gemini Pro, Flash | `GOOGLE_API_KEY` |
| Groq | Llama 3, Mixtral | `GROQ_API_KEY` |
| Grok/xAI | Grok-2 | `GROK_API_KEY` |
| Ollama | Any local model | *(no key needed)* |

All keys can also be configured from the dashboard UI without touching environment variables.

## Security

CachiBot is built with security as a core principle. **Visibility is security** — the biggest risk with AI agents is not knowing what they're doing.

### Sandboxed Execution

Python code runs in a restricted environment:

- **Import Restrictions** — Only safe modules allowed (json, math, datetime, etc.)
- **Path Restrictions** — File access limited to the workspace via SecurityContext
- **Execution Timeout** — Code killed after timeout (default: 30s)
- **Risk Analysis** — AST-based scoring (SAFE / MODERATE / DANGEROUS) before execution
- **Approval Flow** — Dangerous operations require explicit approval through the dashboard

### Always Blocked

These are never allowed regardless of configuration: `subprocess`, `os.system`, `ctypes`, `socket`, `ssl`, `importlib`, `eval`, `exec`, `pickle`, `marshal`.
