Mercury Agent is a soul-driven AI assistant that runs 24/7 from the CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, or web, with 40+ permission-hardened tools, a SQLite-backed 'Second Brain' memory, and markdown-defined personality. It enforces token budgets, approval flows for shell/file actions, and supports extensible markdown skills plus multi-agent orchestration and an optional cloud pairing backend.

Use cases

  • run a personal AI assistant from my terminal
  • chat with an AI agent over Telegram
  • give an LLM agent safe shell and file access with approval prompts
  • give my AI assistant persistent long-term memory
  • automate daily tasks with an always-on agent
  • extend an AI agent with custom markdown skills
  • limit my AI agent's daily token spend
  • run an AI agent on a Raspberry Pi or Termux

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, always-on personal AI agent across CLI and chat channels
  • you need permission-gated tool execution with shell blocklists and folder scoping
  • you want persistent structured memory with full-text search out of the box
  • you prefer a personality defined by editable markdown files you own

When to avoid

  • you need a headless agent framework to embed in your own application rather than a standalone assistant
  • you require strict data locality and cannot use the optional cloud backend features
  • you need fine-grained multi-tenant agent management at organizational scale
