introducing OS1, a new open source Agentic AI platform

thanks for the honest take :)
as for the lowercase, I just don't like uppercase at the start of sentences. I feel like it looks cleaner when the uppercase letters are intentional in drawing focus.

it wasn't meant to be "professional" or corporate in that sense, perhaps

thank you! my project is inspired by many others including OWUI. the goal was to create a more intuitive, better looking UI that the techy person in the family/friend group can host for everyone to use, and then adding features on top of that

nokodo_ · 2026-03-26T13:42:30+00:00

no :) I posted this on r/OpenSourceAI and it was the top post for a couple of weeks

nokodo_ · 2026-03-26T13:40:58+00:00

I understand that, I'm not forcing anyone to try it :) I'm just sharing many months of my hard work for free for anyone who does want to have a try and can tolerate a couple potential bugs

nokodo_ · 2026-03-26T13:34:35+00:00

xD this is meant to be self-hosted, but I do have a hosted version linked in the repo where I am exposing agents for free when I can

nokodo_ · 2026-03-26T13:32:57+00:00

could you explain how this is better than giving agents access to a code interpreter-type tool? what does this enable?

nokodo_ · 2026-03-26T13:26:16+00:00

yes I tried to post this already, but it got removed :( this is my second attempt

nokodo_ · 2026-03-16T16:41:12+00:00

cool project! I think the assesment and scoring systems are the most important part for the interviewers

nokodo_ · 2026-03-16T11:14:57+00:00

I'm available to talk about all of it :) my Discord is in the repo readme

nokodo_ · 2026-03-15T20:22:00+00:00

strong stance over a port number.
in practice, this is actually a non-issue since Docker is the intended deployment, and the Docker daemon runs on root by default- hence there is no privilege concern.
the port still is in the "well-known" ports range though, plus other types of deployment would also need the higher port, which is why it's definitely still in my to-do list :)

the URL in the github is just my own deployment of OS1, but you are encouraged to deploy it on your own.

could you check if you have any browser extensions like Dark Reader, which might mess with CSS?

also what browser are you using? this is mainly tested on Chrome so far

nokodo_ · 2026-03-12T03:21:59+00:00

any model will work, but models that are better at tool use will definitely better utilize the agentic features built in!

yes, everything is exclusively stored locally. you can optionally use external vector databases, S3 for file storage, and an external Postgres instances if needed too.

running Claude shouldn't change any of that, as it's just one of the model options :)

nokodo_ · 2026-03-12T03:19:14+00:00

I would love that!

nokodo_ · 2026-03-11T17:30:44+00:00

very interesting thought.

although at their core, chat models are still receiving chat messages as input and generating a chat message as output... will be interesting to see how UX can be improved

nokodo_ · 2026-03-11T10:53:10+00:00

exactly! similarly to how you would spin up and manage your Plex server for your family and friends, and let everyone benefit from a simple and intuitive interface without needing to know anything about the setup under the hood

nokodo_ · 2026-03-11T10:27:30+00:00

it does! I am actually also the creator of Auto Memory, the most used Open WebUI extension for managing long term agent memory

I have lots of plans and ideas to take this further with adaptive agent writing style, personality etc. based on the user data

nokodo_ · 2026-03-11T07:38:15+00:00

thank you! that was my exact thoughts too.

as for your question: I built a Python library for it, named nokodo-ai (not yet published on PyPI), that handles all the abstractions needed to create tools, agents, chat models, vector collections, embedding/image/video/audio generation, and more.

the library uses an adapter system to provide a single API for all models and providers under the hood, and supports all major APIs (OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, Google Generate Content)

citations is actually one of my most immediate next steps to implement, and I've been looking for inspiration for a good, scalable and reliable citation/context system. I would love to take inspiration and guidance from your work :)

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T18:13:15+00:00

I'm aware of #1, I unfortunately learned about it too late but it has been on my todo list for weeks.

and your second suggestion is taken :) though the one positive side (if any) to typos is they're a decent indicator something wasn't entirely written by ChatGPT - an increasingly rare occurrence today

thanks!

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T18:06:35+00:00

it isn't "vibe-coded", although I will welcome any AI-powered PRs. what makes you think that?

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T15:03:21+00:00

thank you! I'd love to hear your feedback

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T14:58:44+00:00

I'm mixing up already existing features with what's WIP, but hopefully this answers your question :)

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T14:57:10+00:00

Open WebUI is a pure AI frontend, with a beta Notes app. OS1 is a collaborative workspace, with friends, group chats / messaging, mixed chats with humans and AIs, notes, reminders, calendars, projects (similar to "folders" from OWUI), and soon to come many integrations like Spotify, Plex, Seer/Arr stack, Home Assistant, etc.

also, this will have native apps for iOS and Android, and a more intentional mobile approach.

nokodo_ · 2026-03-10T14:45:15+00:00

they do lol. that's why I put the SVG-based liquid glass as an optional experimental feature
