## What it is
Rakazo is an open-source, self-hosted platform for running persistent AI teammates (bots) that can use a browser, terminal, and desktop, remember context, run scheduled routines, and delegate to other bots. It supports bring-your-own model providers, sandboxed computer environments (Docker, E2B, Daytona), and is available on web, Electron desktop, and Expo mobile clients.

## Use cases
- self-host an open-source alternative to Grok bots
- run AI agents that manage my email inbox automatically
- give an AI bot a browser and shell to do real operational work
- schedule recurring AI routines like a morning inbox sweep
- run persistent AI teammates with memory and audit logs on my own infrastructure
- delegate tasks between multiple AI bots and subagents
- use my own LLM API keys with a self-hosted agent platform

## When to choose
- you want self-hosted AI agents with full control over model keys, browser sessions, and infrastructure
- you need persistent bots with memory, routines, and audit logs rather than one-off chat
- you want cross-platform access via web, desktop, and mobile
- you need sandboxed execution environments (Docker, E2B, Daytona) for agent computer use
- you want MCP, OpenAPI, or integration-catalog tool sources

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple chatbot UI without agent capabilities or computer use
- you want a fully managed hosted service with no self-hosting setup
- you need a lightweight agent framework library to embed in your own code rather than a full application
- you cannot run Docker and Node.js 22+ locally
