Website  ·  Documentation  ·  Community Skills

Features

• 11+ LLM providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Groq, Together, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, xAI, Fireworks, LM Studio, Cerebras, MiniMax, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Smart routing sends simple queries to fast models automatically.
• 7 channels — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, Web Chat
• Persistent memory — Vector + full-text hybrid search with ONNX embeddings and FTS5. Remembers every conversation, preference, and fact — forever.
• Memory explainability — Memory matches include confidence and why they were selected (keyword, semantic, or hybrid match).
• 25+ built-in tools — Web search (Brave + DuckDuckGo), file ops, code execution, APIs, sub-agent delegation, knowledge graph, memory pruning, reminders, and automatic failover between providers.
• Extensible skills — Build custom skills in TypeScript. Share them on the registry. Install community skills with one command.
• 9 integrations — GitHub, Google (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Sheets), Notion, Linear, Jira, Slack, Twitter + Claude Code and MCP
• Workflows — Multi-agent pipelines with delegation
• Natural language scheduling — "Every weekday at 9am" just works. Cron jobs, heartbeat, proactive tasks.
• Voice — Speech-to-text (Whisper, local whisper.cpp), text-to-speech (OpenAI, ElevenLabs), and continuous voice conversation mode
• Personal tools — Todos, notes, preferences, topics, and follow-ups — all manageable from the dashboard or via chat
• Dashboard — Built-in web UI with analytics, memory management, Ollama model manager, personal tools, and settings
• Safety controls — Tool scope allowlists and dry-run-by-default mode for risky tools, configurable in the dashboard
• Document ingestion — Upload PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, TXT, CSV, JSON, and more
• Budget controls — Daily/monthly spending limits with per-model cost tracking
• 100% local — SQLite database, local vector store. Your data never leaves your machine.

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://zubo.bot/install.sh | bash

Or install via package manager:

bun add -g zubo    # recommended
npm i -g zubo      # also works

Then:

zubo setup         # interactive config wizard (terminal or browser)
zubo start         # launch the agent

The web dashboard opens automatically at http://localhost:<port>.

First 10 Minutes

• Open Chat and type /help.
• Ask a real task: "Summarize my latest git changes" or "Plan my week."
• Open Settings:
  • AI Model to choose provider/model
  • Action Safety to control allowed actions
  • Memory in Replies to tune how much context is reused
• If replies fail, check:
  • Settings > API Keys for auth errors
  • Settings > AI Model for missing model errors
  • Local model users: run ollama serve and pull the model first

Architecture

User Message
  → Channel (Telegram / Discord / Slack / WhatsApp / Signal / WebChat)
    → Message Router
      → Agent Loop (LLM + Tool Execution)
        → Tools (built-in, skills, integrations)
        → Memory (vector search, FTS5, document parsing)
        → Scheduler (cron, heartbeat, proactive tasks)
      → Response
    → Channel
  → User

Configuration

All config lives in ~/.zubo/config.json. Run zubo setup for interactive configuration, or set values directly:

zubo config set activeProvider anthropic
zubo config set smartRouting.enabled true
zubo config set budget.monthlyLimitUsd 50
zubo config set approvals.autoApproveFirstPartyTools true

See the full configuration reference for all options.
