About CORE
CORE is an open source, self hosted personal AI operating system that watches activity across a user's connected apps and AI sessions, remembers what matters and acts on it. When an email arrives from a client, a GitHub issue is assigned or a Sentry alert fires, CORE checks its memory and the rules the user has set, then either handles the event or surfaces it for a decision.
It is aimed at developers and knowledge workers who want an always on assistant rather than a chatbot they open. Memory is a temporal knowledge graph of preferences, decisions, goals and directives drawn from every tool and conversation. Tasks can be one off or recurring and can spawn coding, browser or terminal sessions. More than 50 apps, including GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Notion and Todoist, connect through one MCP endpoint with webhook triggers. Over 100 built in skills fire automatically by context. A gateway running locally, in Docker or on Railway lets CORE drive Claude Code, Codex, browsers and terminal commands while the laptop is closed. Users reach it through a web dashboard, email, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and other channels, and plugins for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and many other coding tools share memory with their sessions. It is model agnostic, supporting Anthropic, OpenAI and open weight models.
CORE is free to self host, installed with an npm package and Docker or deployed to Railway. No hosted pricing is published; users pay their own model provider. A Mac app is available by waitlist only.
