Odysseus, a self-hosted AI workspace, has been released for founders and entrepreneurs to manage their tasks and data securely. The platform offers various features such as chat with local models or APIs, hand it tools for running tasks, multi-step runs that synthesize sources into reports, and compare models side by side.
Odysseus also includes tools like email triage, calendar management, notes, and task lists. The platform works on both desktop and mobile devices, providing a responsive user experience. Additionally, Odysseus offers image editing, theme customization, file uploads, web search, presets, sessions, and 2FA.
Odysseus is built with local-first and privacy-first principles in mind, allowing users to manage their data securely on their own hardware. The platform uses open-source models and APIs, giving users control over what they share and how it's used. Odysseus has a community-driven approach, welcoming contributions from developers and entrepreneurs.
The platform's requirements include Python 3.11+ and can be installed using Docker or by cloning the GitHub repository. Once set up, users can configure Odysseus through Settings to customize their experience.
