Overview
Pots, published as pi-durable-bot, is an open-source AI coworker you run on your own computer or server. It reads everything in the channels, emails, events and pages you give it, decides what matters, and does the work by writing and running its own code on that machine, then speaks up when it should. It works in Slack, Discord and Telegram, keeps one long memory on disk, sets its own reminders, and picks up where it stopped after a crash. You can use a subscription you already pay for, an API key from many providers, or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, and run several bots each with their own role. Because it acts on its own with the accounts you connect, give it only the channels and access it needs. You get a teammate in your chat apps that handles tasks and reports back.
