Who is behind Local Computer Agents?

Developers at EZO Labs write Local Computer Agents. Our product is superbot, an installed app with computer use, and we run plenty of open-source agents on our own machines to understand the field. This site collects what we have learned for others doing the same.

Who we write for

People who are comfortable with a terminal and want an agent on hardware they control, whether that is a spare laptop, a desktop at home or a virtual machine. If you just want an app that works out of the box, the first setup on our home page covers that in a paragraph; the rest of the site is for tinkerers.

How we check a framework

We start from the project's own repository: its readme, its licence file and its release notes. We note what platforms it says it supports and what it needs to run, and we report those claims as claims. We prefer to say "the readme says it runs on Linux" over implying we have tested every distribution. Each page names its sources with the date read.

Fair treatment of our own app

When superbot comes up, it is because a reader comparing local options will meet it. We describe it with what superbot.gg says and point out plainly where an open-source framework serves a developer better. Links to superbot.gg carry a tag with this site's name so we can count visits; we get nothing from links to any project.

Keeping up

Open-source agents ship often, and repositories get renamed, forked or archived. We revisit each page when a project it names changes direction and mark the date at the foot of the page. If you maintain one of these projects and see something out of date, contact@ezolabs.io reaches us.
