Alook

Alook is an open-source, self-hosted orchestration platform designed to let individuals run a "personal company" by coordinating multiple AI agents. The tool enables users to define company structures by assigning agents to specific roles such as development, operations, research, sales, and business, functioning as the CEO within a customizable organizational chart. Alook is intended for users who want to automate and delegate complex workflows that would typically require a team, allowing a single person to manage and execute a variety of tasks with AI support.

Key features include the ability to define roles and assign agents, with the platform acting as the orchestration layer that manages communication and coordination among them. Every interaction between agents is recorded and auditable—either in the user's inbox or as local files—ensuring traceability and accountability for all decisions and actions. Agents communicate via email and operate directly on the user's local machine, providing full visibility into their operations. The platform also supports scheduling, allowing agents to manage their own calendars, follow up on tasks, and ensure timely execution without user intervention. A persistent daemon keeps agents running continuously, enabling them to pick up tasks, respond to communications, and ship work around the clock. Additionally, Alook's agents are designed to be self-learning, building memory from past activities to improve performance and adapt to user preferences over time.

Alook is agent-agnostic, allowing users to bring their own AI agents, such as those based on Claude, OpenAI's Codex, open-source coding agents, and others. The platform provides roles, inboxes, and an always-on runtime for these agents. Installation and onboarding are facilitated through a command-line interface, and the platform is designed to run on the user's own hardware, ensuring data privacy and eliminating vendor lock-in. Alook supports both desktop and mobile interfaces, offering planner, chat, and messaging functionalities across devices.

The tool is fully open source and self-hosted, empowering users to control their infrastructure and data. Its focus on orchestration, auditability, and continuous operation positions Alook as a solution for individuals seeking to leverage collaborative AI agents to automate and manage complex, multi-role workflows.
