What is OpenAkita?

Other AIs just chat. OpenAkita gets things done.

OpenAkita is an open-source, all-in-one AI assistant — multiple AI Agents work together, build an AI company that runs autonomously, search the web, operate your computer, manage files, run scheduled tasks, and respond instantly across Telegram / Feishu / WeCom / DingTalk / QQ. Scan a QR code to bind your chat app in 30 seconds. It remembers your preferences, teaches itself new skills, and never gives up on a task. Extend anything through the plugin system, protected by 6-layer sandbox security.

Fully GUI-based setup. Ready in 5 minutes. Zero command line required.

Organization Orchestration

_{▶ Click to watch: Built a company on OpenAkita, and it runs autonomously (Bilibili)}

Beyond multi-Agent collaboration — build an entire AI company. OpenAkita includes a full organization orchestration engine (AgentOrg) that lets you visually design company structures in the GUI, where AI agents operate like a real company:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                CEO / Executive                 │
│       Sets company strategy, coordinates all   │
└───┬───────────┬───────────┬───────────┬───────┘
    ▼           ▼           ▼           ▼
  CTO        Product     Marketing     CFO

 Dev team    Design      Content      Analytics

Key Features

Multi-Agent Collaboration

_{▶ Click to watch the Multi-Agent collaboration demo on Bilibili}

OpenAkita has a built-in multi-Agent orchestration system — not just one AI, but an AI team:

You: "Create a competitive analysis report"

    ▼
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
│      AgentOrchestrator (Director)     │
│   Decomposes task → Assigns to Agents │
└───┬────────────┬──────────────┬──────┘
    ▼            ▼              ▼
 Search Agent  Analysis Agent  Writing Agent

    └────────────┴──────────────┘
                 ▼
         Results merged, delivered to you

• Specialization: Different Agents for different domains, auto-matched to tasks
• Parallel Processing: Multiple Agents work simultaneously
• Auto Handoff: If one Agent gets stuck, it hands off to a better-suited one
• Failover: Agent failure triggers automatic switch to backup
• Depth Control: Max 5 delegation levels to prevent runaway recursion
• Visual Tracking: Agent Dashboard shows real-time status of every Agent
• Instance Pooling: Agent instance pool with LRU eviction for efficient resource use

IM Scan-to-Bind

_{▶ Click to watch: OpenAkita scan-to-bind for WeChat, Feishu, WeCom (Bilibili)}

No developer account needed. No callback URL configuration. No technical knowledge required — scan a QR code, 30 seconds to bind:

Once bound, just @AI in your chat app — send messages, images, files, voice — AI handles it all.

6 IM Platforms

Talk to your AI right inside the chat tools you already use:

• 📷 Vision: Send screenshots/photos — AI understands them
• 🎤 Voice: Send voice messages — auto-transcribed and processed
• 📎 File Delivery: AI-generated files pushed directly to chat
• 👥 Group Chat: Replies when @mentioned, stays quiet otherwise
• 💭 Chain-of-Thought: Real-time reasoning process streamed to IM
• 🔄 Message Interrupts: Insert new instructions between tool calls without waiting

Plugin System

OpenAkita provides a complete plugin architecture with plugin.json manifest declarations, a 3-tier permission model for security, and 10 lifecycle hooks for deep integration:

8 Plugin Types

3-Tier Permission Model

Lifecycle Hooks

on_init → on_message_received → on_tool_result → on_prompt_build → on_retrieve → on_session_start → on_session_end → on_schedule → on_shutdown

Plugins have automatic fault isolation: error count exceeding threshold triggers auto-disable, preventing a single plugin from crashing the system.

Developer docs: Plugin System Overview

Sandbox Security

OpenAkita implements a 6-layer defense-in-depth security model, from path management to OS-level isolation:

L1  Path Zoning         workspace / controlled / protected / forbidden
L2  Confirmation Gate   Dangerous ops (delete files, system commands) require user approval
L3  Command Intercept   regedit, format, rm -rf — blocked outright
L4  File Snapshots      Auto-checkpoint before writes, rollback available
L5  Self-Protection     data/, src/, identity/ — core dirs locked from modification
L6  OS-Level Sandbox    Linux bwrap / macOS seatbelt / Windows MIC

Sandbox Execution

When the policy engine classifies a shell command as HIGH risk, it automatically runs in an OS-level sandbox:

Additional Security Mechanisms

• Policy Engine: POLICIES.yaml for tool permissions, shell command blocklist, path restrictions
• Resource Budgets: Token / cost / duration / iteration / tool call limits per task
• Runtime Supervision: Auto-detection of tool thrashing, reasoning loops, token anomalies
• Local Data: Memory, config, and chat history stored on your machine only
• Open Source: Apache 2.0, fully transparent codebase

30+ LLM Providers

No vendor lock-in. Mix and match freely:

7 capability dimensions: Text · Vision · Video · Tool use · Thinking · Audio · PDF

Smart failover: One model goes down, the next picks up seamlessly.

Recommended Models

International Models (in order of recommendation):

Chinese Models (recommended):

For complex reasoning, enable Thinking mode — add -thinking suffix to the model name.

⚠️ Local small models not recommended (e.g. 7B/14B quantized): Small models have limited tool-calling and agent collaboration capabilities, prone to hallucinations and format errors. Use API-hosted flagship models for the best experience.

Memory System

Not just a "context window" — true long-term memory. Supports dual modes with automatic switching:

Mode 1: Fragment Memory (Classic)

• Three layers: Working memory (current task) + Core memory (user profile) + Dynamic retrieval (past experience)
• 7 memory types: Fact / Preference / Skill / Error / Rule / Persona trait / Experience
• Multi-path recall: Semantic + full-text + temporal + attachment search
• Gets smarter over time: Preferences you mentioned two months ago? Still remembered.

Mode 2: MDRM Relational Graph Memory (New)

On top of fragment memory, builds causal chains, timelines, and entity relationship graphs — letting AI truly understand connections between events:

• 4 node types: Event / Fact / Decision / Goal
• Multi-hop graph traversal: Starting from seed nodes, expands along relationship edges to find deep connections
• 3-layer encoding: Fast rule-based encoding → summary backfill → session-end batch LLM encoding
• 3D visualization: Frontend supports 3D visualization of the memory graph

Smart Mode Switching

Set memory_mode to auto (default) and the system auto-routes based on query characteristics: causal/timeline/cross-session questions use Mode 2 graph traversal, preference/fact queries use Mode 1 semantic retrieval.

• AI-driven extraction: Automatically distills valuable information after each conversation, dual-track writes to both modes
• 3D memory graph: Visualize memory nodes and relationships, intuitively understand AI's memory structure

MCP Integration

OpenAkita includes a full MCP (Model Context Protocol) client, enabling AI to connect with any external service:

Connect to GitHub, databases, Playwright browser, filesystem, or any MCP Server.

Self-Evolution

OpenAkita keeps getting stronger:

Daily 04:00   →  Self-check: analyze error logs → AI diagnosis → auto-fix → push report
After failure →  Root cause analysis (context loss / tool limitation / loop / budget) → suggestions
Missing skill →  Auto-search GitHub for skills, or AI generates one on the spot
Missing dep   →  Auto pip install, auto mirror switching for China
Every chat    →  Extract preferences and experience → long-term memory
