CLUSTER SELF-AGENTS-CHAT · 40 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-15

Self-hostable AI chat agents

This cluster comprises self-hostable chat applications that embed AI agents into conversations, with one emphasizing source-backed evidence from a knowledge graph and another focusing on collaborative team participation. The dated history before the index start includes only four entries (2025-06, 2025-11, 2026-01, 2026-07), too thin to discern a trend. Arkloop leads traction with 373 stars, far ahead of nekro-nxt (15) and sara (6).
