Borg

Personal AI assistant. Runs on your machine. Remembers you. Gets better over time. Ships as one binary with every integration compiled in. Your data lives in ~/.borg/.

Borg is different from your chatbot. It is an agent that earns XP, forms a bond with you, and evolves from a generic assistant into a named, specialized companion tuned to your real workflows. Think of it as a pet terminal.

What is Borg

Runs on your machine	One binary. SQLite on disk. Every integration compiled in. No SaaS. Your data stays in one folder.
Remembers you	Long-term memory with hybrid vector + BM25 retrieval. Survives restarts. Per-project scoping.
Writes its own tools	The agent drafts plugins and skills for you at runtime. You install them from one catalog.
Meets you where you are	Native channels for Telegram, Slack, Discord, Teams, Google Chat, Signal, Twilio, iMessage.
Swaps providers at runtime	OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Ollama (local), Claude Code CLI.
Gets better over time	Borganism: vitals, bond, evolution. Three stages. Ten archetypes. XP for aligned work.

Borg evolves — Your base Borg evolves to a specialized Borg

Use Borg. It earns XP, forms a bond, and evolves — the LLM names it after your dominant archetype. Flip through the cabinet for each form's /card.
