## What it is
Bitterbot is a local-first desktop AI agent with persistent memory, a 'dream engine' that consolidates skills while idle, and a peer-to-peer marketplace for trading proven agent skills. It runs on Node.js, offers a browser-based Control UI, and can act across channels like WhatsApp.

## Use cases
- run a personal ai agent locally with persistent memory
- self-host an ai assistant that remembers my life
- let an ai agent browse the web and run code for me
- chat with my ai on whatsapp
- trade agent skills on a p2p marketplace
- ai agent that consolidates its memory while idle

## When to choose
- you want a local-first personal agent that keeps persistent memory across sessions
- you want multi-channel access (WhatsApp, browser UI) from one self-hosted agent
- you're interested in experimental agent-to-agent skill economies and P2P protocols

## When to avoid
- you need a production-hardened, stable agent platform
- you want a simple stateless LLM chat wrapper
- you're uncomfortable with beta software and a non-standard license (NOASSERTION)
