OpenInstinct – open-source, self-hostable Instinct clone

Hacker News

We love Instinct, but have been increasingly worried about the data footprint we are handing over to them, and what they might do with that data. So we built an oss self-hostable version. It includes a vault that can store cards, logins, and personal information, so it can execute complex tasks on your behalf, like: "Get me two tickets to the odyssey on saturday at my nearest theatre" "Find me the best golf grip trainer and order it for me" "Read my email and find opportunities to save money by cancelling subscriptions I don't use" The tech stack: - Eve agent framework for durable agent runs - Linq for iMessage - Kernel for browser use / credential injection - Postgres for DB - Vercel AI gateway so you can use any model - Vercent Connect for google workspace and other connectors We welcome community contributions and feedback! This is still beta software, so I wouldn't use it in production, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised with its capability and personality
