OpenKoi
A self-iterating AI agent system. Single binary, local-first, model-agnostic.
OpenKoi follows a Plan-Execute-Evaluate-Refine cycle — iterating on its own output until results meet your quality standards. It ships as a single static binary with zero runtime dependencies.
Quick Start
# Install via Cargo
# Or use the shell installer
|
OpenKoi detects your API keys from the environment, picks the best available model, and starts working. No config file needed.
Features
- Self-iteration — Plan, execute, evaluate, refine. The agent is its own reviewer.
- 6 providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, AWS Bedrock, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Role-based models — Assign different models to executor, evaluator, planner, and embedder roles.
- Persistent memory — SQLite + vector search. Learnings persist across sessions.
- Pattern mining — Observes your usage, proposes new skills to automate recurring workflows.
- Skill system — OpenClaw-compatible
.SKILL.mdformat. Write once, use with any provider. - 3-tier plugins — MCP (external tools), WASM (sandboxed), Rhai (scripting).
- 10 integrations — Slack, Discord, MS Teams, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Notion, Google Docs, Telegram, Email.
- TUI dashboard — Real-time view of tasks, costs, learnings, plugins, and config.
- Soul system — Optional personality that evolves with your interaction patterns.
CLI
Providers
Subscription-based (OAuth login, free with your existing plan)

| Provider | Command | Flow |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Copilot | openkoi connect copilot |
Device code (GitHub login) |
| ChatGPT Plus/Pro | openkoi connect chatgpt |
Device code (OpenAI login) |
Tokens are stored in ~/.openkoi/auth.json and refreshed automatically.
API key providers
Set an environment variable or paste a key when prompted during openkoi init.
| Provider | Environment Variable |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
| OpenAI | OPENAI_API_KEY |
GOOGLE_API_KEY |
|
| AWS Bedrock | AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY |
| Groq | GROQ_API_KEY |
| OpenRouter | OPENROUTER_API_KEY |
| Together | TOGETHER_API_KEY |
| DeepSeek | DEEPSEEK_API_KEY |
| xAI | XAI_API_KEY |

| Ollama | Auto-detected at localhost:11434 |
| Custom (OpenAI-compatible) | openkoi connect picker or config.toml |
Credential Discovery
OpenKoi auto-discovers credentials in this order:
- Environment variables —
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,OPENAI_API_KEY,GOOGLE_API_KEY, etc. - OAuth store — GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT tokens from
openkoi connect - External CLIs — Claude CLI (
~/.claude/.credentials.json), Qwen CLI - macOS Keychain — Claude Code credentials (macOS only)
- Saved credentials —
~/.openkoi/credentials/*.key - Local probes — Ollama at
localhost:11434
