## What it is
Octop is an open-source, self-hosted AI assistant built on a multi-agent, multi-user architecture that runs entirely on your own machine. It offers a web dashboard, CLI, and IM integrations (Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, Discord, WeCom), with an expert library, OAuth/MCP connectors, long-term memory, and built-in security features like JWT isolation and PII redaction.

## Use cases
- self-host a private AI assistant for my family or team
- run multiple AI agents with different personalities in parallel
- chat with an AI assistant from Discord or DingTalk
- give my AI assistant long-term memory across conversations
- set up a multi-user AI assistant with per-user data isolation
- connect AI agents to tools via MCP and OAuth connectors
- use AI agents inside my IDE via ACP

## When to choose
- you want full privacy and self-hosting with no cloud dependency
- you need multi-user support with authentication and data isolation
- you want agents reachable from IM platforms like Feishu, DingTalk, or Discord
- you need extensible agents with MCP connectors and an expert/skill library

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed SaaS assistant with zero setup
- you only need a simple single-user chatbot without agent orchestration
- you require non-Python deployment environments or mobile-native apps
