About OwnPilot
OwnPilot is a self hosted, privacy focused personal AI assistant platform. It runs on the user's own infrastructure, with a single web interface on one port, and is distributed as open source under the MIT license. The vendor states that no data is sent to third parties.
The platform connects to more than 100 AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek and Mistral, and supports local inference through Ollama and LM Studio, with routing options such as cheapest, fastest or smartest. It ships with over 250 built in tools across categories such as tasks, notes, calendar, email, git, web search, code execution and browser automation. A visual workflow builder offers 24 node types, and autonomous soul agents carry a defined personality, role and mission, with ready made templates. OwnPilot works as both an MCP client and an MCP server, can orchestrate Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI from its web interface, and can be reached through Telegram and WhatsApp channels. It also integrates with MQTT based edge and IoT devices.
Security features include a layered permission and approval model, sandbox isolation, PII detection and encryption with AES 256 GCM. Installation uses Docker Compose with PostgreSQL. It is aimed at developers and technical users who want to own their AI stack. The vendor states there is no subscription fee, and users pay their chosen model providers directly.
