Waku Agent is a local-first AI agent harness in Python that exposes the full agent stack — harness, loop, memory, and eval/LLM-Ops — as small, readable code. Memory lives in a single SQLite file with semantic, episodic, and procedural layers, and it ships with a terminal chat, a browser dashboard, and built-in deterministic plus LLM-as-judge evals.

Use cases

  • build a personal AI assistant that runs locally on my laptop
  • learn how an agent loop and memory system work by reading real code
  • run an LLM agent with persistent memory stored in sqlite
  • evaluate my agent with deterministic tests and LLM-as-judge before releasing
  • watch an agent's message flow in a local dashboard
  • self-host a chatbot with a wake word and Telegram gateway

When to choose

  • you want a legible, hackable agent codebase instead of an opaque framework
  • you want local-first ownership of your agent's memory as a plain SQLite file
  • you want evals and a release gate built into your agent harness
  • you're learning agent architecture (loop, memory, eval) from a working example

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade, battle-tested multi-agent orchestration platform
  • you need distributed or multi-user agent deployment at scale
  • you want a no-code or fully managed agent builder
  • you need non-Python runtimes or heavy vector-database integrations out of the box
