What it does

Isolated by default: the agent can't touch the rest of your machine and never sees your real keys
Chat apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack…), memory and scheduled jobs, built on Anthropic's Agents SDK
Small enough to read and modify; Claude Code helps you install and customise it

! The repo moved organisation (qwibitai → nanocoai): only follow links from the official repo.
