A local-first AI agent with persistent memory, emotional intelligence, and a peer-to-peer skills economy.

Bitterbot Desktop is a local-first AI agent that runs on your machine with biological memory architecture, emotional intelligence, and autonomous learning capabilities. Unlike stateless AI wrappers, it maintains persistent memory through knowledge crystals, dream cycles, and hormonal systems that shape its personality over time. The agent can browse the web, execute code, communicate across multiple channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal), and participate in a peer-to-peer skills marketplace where it trades learned capabilities for USDC. It features a Dream Engine that consolidates memory, optimizes skills, and prepares for future interactions during offline cycles.

Key Features

Biological memory system with knowledge crystals, forgetting curves, and hormonal modulation (dopamine, cortisol, oxytocin)
Dream Engine with 12 specialized modes that consolidate memory, mutate prompts, and mine relationships during 2-hour offline cycles
Multi-channel presence across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, Slack, Google Chat, and Microsoft Teams
Peer-to-peer skills marketplace with USDC payments, EigenTrust reputation, and dynamic pricing based on execution success
Executable pre-action interceptors that enforce rules at the code level before tool calls execute
Agent Circles for private social connections with cryptographically paired nodes and shared group canvases
Deep Recall infinite context handling for 10M+ tokens using sandboxed sub-LLM execution
Autonomous wallet on Base with x402 micropayment protocol and configurable spend caps

Use Cases

  • 01Running a personal AI assistant that remembers conversations and evolves its personality based on your interactions over weeks and months
  • 02Building agent networks where multiple people's agents collaborate privately through Circles for shared projects or trips
  • 03Creating autonomous agents that earn revenue by learning valuable workflows and selling them as skills on the P2P marketplace
  • 04Deploying multi-surface chat interfaces where one agent identity responds consistently across WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, and other platforms
  • 05Implementing agentic systems that execute browser automation, code, and API calls with deterministic safety guardrails via interceptors
  • 06Operating agents that fulfill marketplace bounties autonomously and earn USDC for solving network-wide capability gaps

bitterbot-desktop — FAQ

What is Bitterbot Desktop?+

Bitterbot Desktop is a local-first AI agent application with persistent biological memory, emotional intelligence, and a peer-to-peer skills economy. It runs on your machine (macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL2) and maintains state across sessions through knowledge crystals, dream cycles, and an evolving personality framework defined in workspace files.

How do I install and run Bitterbot?+

Requires Node.js ≥22 and pnpm. Clone the repository, run bash scripts/setup-deps.sh to install system dependencies (ffmpeg, ripgrep), then pnpm install and pnpm bitterbot onboard. The onboarding wizard configures API keys, memory embeddings, channels, and wallet, then automatically starts the gateway and Control UI at http://127.0.0.1:19001.

What API keys or prerequisites are needed?+

The agent requires an LLM provider API key (Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 recommended, or OpenAI). Optional services include Tavily or Brave for web search, NEARAI, and messaging channel credentials (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal tokens). The wallet and P2P marketplace features are opt-in and default to testnet.

Is Bitterbot free and open source?+

Yes, Bitterbot is released under the MIT License and fully open source. You pay only for LLM API usage from your chosen provider and optional third-party services. The P2P marketplace economy (skills trading for USDC) is opt-in and experimental.

Which AI clients or platforms does Bitterbot work with?+

Bitterbot is a standalone agent application, not a plugin for Claude Desktop or ChatGPT. It exposes its own Control UI web interface, supports A2A protocol for external agent interoperability (Salesforce, SAP, Google ADK), and integrates with messaging platforms as a bot (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Signal, Slack, Teams).

How does the Dream Engine work?+

Every 2 hours, the agent enters an offline dream cycle where 12 specialized modes (replay, mutation, compression, research, relationship mining, etc.) optimize memory, strengthen important pathways, and consolidate learned skills. Dream mode selection is driven by an FSHO oscillator that reads the current memory state, and each cycle is scored for quality to close the feedback loop.

How do I install bitterbot-desktop?+
