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).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
