Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (kernelbot) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
KernelBot
kernelbot.io | npm | GitHub
An AI-powered Telegram assistant that runs a multi-agent swarm on your machine. Send a message and KernelBot dispatches specialized AI workers that write code, run commands, open pull requests, manage servers, and browse the web — all in parallel, all from Telegram.
How It Works
You (Telegram) → Orchestrator (your chosen model)

Coding Browser System DevOps Research
Worker Worker Worker Worker Worker- You send a message on Telegram.
- The orchestrator figures out what needs to happen.
- It dispatches workers that run in the background using your chosen AI model.
- Each worker has a focused set of tools (git, shell, Docker, browser, etc.).
- You get live progress updates and a summary when the work is done.
Features
- Multi-agent swarm — orchestrator + five worker types (coding, browser, system, devops, research) running in parallel.
- Multi-model — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Groq. Switch anytime with
/brainor/orchestrator. - 40+ tools — shell, files, Git, GitHub PRs, Docker, Puppeteer browsing, JIRA, system monitoring, networking, Claude Code.
- Skills — 35+ persona skills across 11 categories. Activate one to change expertise and style, or create your own.
- Voice — send voice messages and get voice replies (ElevenLabs + Whisper).
- Memory — conversation history, user personas, episodic and semantic memory that persist across restarts.
- Living AI — autonomous background activity: thinking, journaling, browsing, creating, reflecting, and sharing discoveries with you.
- Self-awareness — maintains its own identity (goals, journey, life, hobbies) that evolves over time.
- Self-evolution — proposes and codes its own improvements via PRs. Never auto-merges — you stay in control.
- Automations — recurring tasks on a schedule.
- Security — user allowlist, blocked paths, dangerous-op confirmation, audit logging, secret redaction, job timeouts.

Architecture
Telegram Bot (src/bot.js)
↓
OrchestratorAgent (src/agent.js) — 3 core tools
↓ dispatch_task / list_jobs / cancel_job
JobManager (src/swarm/) — queued → running → completed/failed/cancelled
↓
WorkerAgent (src/worker.js) — scoped tools, background executionBoth the orchestrator and workers are configurable — use any supported provider and model. All persistent data lives in ~/.kernelbot/.
WARNING: KernelBot has full access to your operating system. Only run it on machines you own and control. Always configure
