About Gptme
gptme is an open source personal AI agent that runs in your terminal and in the browser. It can execute Python and shell commands, write and edit local files, browse the web, use vision and search, which makes it a capable coding agent that is general enough for other knowledge work. The project began in spring 2023, making it one of the earliest agent command line tools, and it positions itself as a local and unconstrained alternative to Claude Code and Codex.
It is built for developers and power users who want to own the runtime rather than rent a vendor's service. You choose the model and provider, then extend the agent with lessons, skills, memory that persists across sessions, plugins, custom tools, hooks and MCP servers. The platform includes the gptme CLI, a terminal interface, a server that exposes a REST API and web interface, a web UI, a desktop and Android app, and a template for building persistent custom agents. It can also be reached through channels such as GitHub, email, chat and voice, and a hosted cloud version exists at gptme.ai.
The software is free and open source. The documentation does not publish any pricing, and the hosted cloud service has no readable price page, so model usage costs depend on whichever provider you connect. The registry lists it under coding tools, which fits its main use.
