Rakazo

A developer built the open-source AI assistant Rakazo in one day; the project has gained 3,700 stars on GitHub, attracted 100 contributors, and merged more than 1,200 PRs.

An agent based on GrokBot/Rakazo wakes up every few hours, reviews new open PRs, and decides on its own which can be merged; simple bug fixes are merged directly, while large features wait for the author's approval.

GrokBot is essentially an AI assistant, with all operations completed within the chat window, reducing configuration complexity.

Rakazo is an open-source AI assistant project under the Apache license, supports self-hosting, and is completely free.

Rakazo has gained 3,700 stars and 100 contributors on GitHub, with 1,200 PRs merged.

Rakazo provides each bot with its own computer (which can be a shared or separate machine), supports desktop, mobile and Web, and automatically syncs data in the cloud.

Rakazo has built-in automation capabilities such as Routine.

The developer first spent about an hour discussing with the AI to determine the overall structure, code reuse approach and interface design, then moved to the execution phase.

Using the /goal command to make the AI keep working until every checklist item is checked off, the process was run twice, and the first run even went all night.

The three product principles Rakazo wrote into agents.md are: cross-platform sync, support for any model, and no dependence on any third-party service.

Rakazo requires the AI to provide a screenshot for every page of the product; no screenshot means the goal has not been achieved.

Every PR in the project automatically generates screenshots, which have accumulated to 350 so far, covering interfaces such as the marketing page, login page, dark mode and mobile.

An agent based on Grok or Claude wakes up every few hours to check new PRs and decides on its own which can be merged; simple bug fixes are merged directly, while large features await human approval with screenshots attached.

Rakazo adopts the MIT open-source license, allowing developers to freely modify and use it commercially.

Rakazo natively supports international models such as OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude, while also being compatible with domestic models including DeepSeek, Zhipu, Qianwen, and Xiaomi.

Rakazo integrates voice services such as ElevenLabs, supporting real-time voice conversation.

Rakazo provides an Intentions connector, a workflow mechanism similar to Zapier, which can connect to third-party services such as Google Mail and Notion.

Rakazo supports cloud sandbox services such as E2B, and can also connect to sandbox products from Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud.

Rakazo's local deployment offers the advantages of zero cloud costs, controllable data security, and flexible environment configuration.

Rakazo uses Docker images to spin up a complete virtual operating system environment locally, where AI Agents can execute tasks within an isolated Chrome OS container.
