Not a chat window glued to one API. An agent that works where you work.
Does the work
Reads, writes and edits project files, runs commands in your real shell, searches the web and drives its own browser with saved logins.
Any model
OpenRouter, OpenAI, the Anthropic API, Cloudflare, Ollama, LM Studio or any OpenAI-compatible server, with daily and monthly spend limits.
You press approve
File changes, terminal commands and computer control show an approval card first. Deleting a file always asks, even with auto-allow on.
Agents and Brains
Run as many agents in parallel as you want, each with its own role, and named Brains on different models can answer alone or vote as a council.
Memory in plain files
Chats live in a local SQLite database and memory in Markdown files on your disk. No analytics, no crash reporting, no account.
Runs while you are away
Scheduled tasks, a heartbeat checklist and webhooks from GitHub, Stripe or n8n start runs, and results can go to your phone over Telegram.
Voice and app lock
Sentinel listens for a wake word with speech recognition on your machine. The app locks behind a password, Touch ID or your own voice.
MCP both ways
Use MCP servers as connectors, or let Claude Code and other clients drive Artemis through its local MCP server, gateway API and CLI.
Artemis is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic or any other model provider. Setup guides for every feature are in the wiki.
