Centaur is a self-hosted, open-source platform for running shared AI agents for teams, triggered via Slack mentions or an API. Each conversation runs in an isolated Kubernetes sandbox with real dev tools, durable replayable state, shared Python tool plugins, and credential-safe egress so agents never see raw API keys.
Use cases
- run a shared AI agent for my team in Slack
- let an agent investigate CI failures in a real repo
- self-host an open-source alternative to Claude Code for teams
- give agents access to internal tools without exposing API keys
- run durable multi-step agent workflows that survive restarts
- add custom Python tools to agent conversations
- summarize Slack threads and customer context with an agent
When to choose
- your team wants one shared Slack-native agent instead of individual local setups
- you need sandboxed, real execution environments with shell, git, and code runtimes
- credential safety matters - agents must call services without holding raw keys
- you want durable, replayable agent runs and workflow orchestration
- you want to bring your own agent harness like Claude Code, Codex, or Amp
When to avoid
- you only need a simple chatbot with no code execution or tool use
- you cannot run Kubernetes or a k3s cluster in your infrastructure
- you want a fully managed SaaS with zero infrastructure to operate
- your use case is a single-user local coding assistant rather than a team platform
