Self-hosted AI agents that bring their own sandbox

What it does

Rakazo is a self-hosted platform for AI agents. Every bot gets its own persistent thread, memory, and a live Linux desktop it can browse, terminal into, and manipulate files on. You supply the LLM—via OpenRouter, ChatGPT Plus/Pro, GitHub Copilot, or xAI—and the bot sees the screen, clicks around, and can even delegate work to short-lived subagents or spawn entirely new peer bots.

The interesting bit

The entire core product lives in this repo; there is no separate Rakazo control plane to phone home to. The codebase was built with Cursor and Grok 4.6, so the tool is partially a product of the machines it now hosts. The desktop is not a mockup—the agent shares a real graphical session you can watch, and you can grab the mouse to interact without locking the bot out.

Key highlights

• Each bot runs inside an actual sandboxed computer (docker or E2B) with a live Linux desktop
• Bots can recursively spawn peer bots, each with its own thread and computer
• Bring-your-own-model support for OpenRouter, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and xAI/SuperGrok
• Single API backend serves web, Electron desktop, and Expo mobile clients
• Fully self-contained deployment with no vendor-hosted control plane

Caveats

• Still early beta, so expect rough edges
• Claude Pro login is not yet available in the Rakazo UI
• The desktop (“This Mac”) sandbox mode runs with your local user permissions and is explicitly unsafe for public or shared servers

Verdict

Worth a look if you want self-hosted AI agents that can actually use a computer, spawn coworkers, and keep everything on your own infrastructure. Not for you if you need a polished managed SaaS or just a simple chat frontend.
