pi-durable-bot (Pots) is an open-source, MIT-licensed AI coworker that you host yourself. It is an open alternative to Grok Bot, OpenAI dots, Claude Tag and similar closed AI teammates.
It joins Slack, Discord and Telegram, reads the channels it is in, and decides by itself when something matters, so nobody has to @mention it. It does real work on its own computer: shell, browser, files and screen. It can reply with web pages, buttons and forms, and it asks for secrets on a one-time password page instead of in the chat.
It works with any model: a subscription login, 40+ API providers, or a local model through Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp. Its state is durable, so it picks up where it stopped after a crash or restart. It runs on macOS, Linux and Windows with Node 24, and installs with npm (npm install -g pi-durable-bot). An AI coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex can set it up from the docs.
