Self-hosted personal AI OS for Claude Code and Codex

CORE is a full product, not a small add-on: it gives you memory, tasks, messaging, voice, browser access, and app connectors in one place. It can launch Claude Code or Codex sessions with task context, run them locally or in Docker/Railway, and return the result as a task update or pull request.

Who it's for

Builders who want an always-on assistant that remembers context across sessions and can act through chat, voice, and connected apps.

What it delivers

You can hand tasks to a persistent assistant that remembers past context and runs work across your apps and coding sessions.

What it does

Temporal memory graph

Indexes email, meetings, GitHub, Linear, Slack, and assistant conversations into a temporal knowledge graph.

Task workspace

Stores each job as a task with a spec, plan, live state, and dedicated chat thread, including recurring work.

Scratchpad intake

Lets you write plain-text tasks on a daily page and have CORE pick them up and plan them.

Voice input

Accepts spoken tasks from the Mac overlay and runs them in the background.

Messaging access

Receives tasks from WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, email, web, and API channels.

Coding agent sessions

Starts Claude Code or Codex sessions with full context and can open a PR when they finish.

Built-in browser

Provides an isolated browser CORE can drive on your behalf.

MCP integrations

Connects to 50+ apps through MCP, with webhook triggers for inbound events.

How to get it

  1. 1Install and start CORE
    npm install -g @redplanethq/corebrain && corebrain setup
  2. 2Connect a gateway so CORE can run coding agents, drive your browser, and access local…
    corebrain login

See it work

Watch CORE take a plain-text task, gather context from GitHub and memory, plan the work, run a Claude Code session, and open a PR:

CORE Demo


Overview

Memory

CORE indexes email, meetings, GitHub, Linear, Slack and every assistant conversation into a temporal knowledge graph. Every task starts with the full picture — preferences, decisions, and prior context already loaded.
Memory graph screenshot

Tasks

Every unit of work is a task with your spec, CORE's plan, live state, and a dedicated chat thread. One-shot or recurring. Each task can spawn a coding session, drive the browser, or run terminal commands.
Tasks screenshot

Scratchpad

Your daily page. Write [ ] Fix the auth bug from issue #47 and CORE picks it up within 3 minutes, loads context from your repo and memory, and drafts a plan.
Scratchpad screenshot

Voice

Press Ctrl+Option on Mac and speak. CORE runs the task in the background without breaking your flow — no window to open, no context switch.
Voice overlay screenshot

Messaging

Reach CORE from WhatsApp, Slack, or Telegram. Send a task from the airport or from bed — CORE has the same memory and context regardless of where the message comes from.
Messaging screenshot

Coding agents

CORE spins up Claude Code or Codex sessions with the full task context, runs them on your machine or in Docker/Railway, and opens a PR when done. Sessions keep running when your laptop is closed. Point CORE at your existing Claude or Codex subscription — the whole stack runs on it, no separate API key needed.
Coding agents screenshot

Browser

A built-in browser CORE can drive on your behalf. Because it's isolated from your main browser, you log in only to the accounts you want the assistant to access.
Browser screenshot

Integrations

One-click integrations to 50+ apps via MCP — GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Sentry, Notion, Todoist. Webhook triggers turn inbound events into proactive work.

Run CORE on your Claude or Codex subscription

CORE can point at your existing Claude Pro or Codex subscription instead of API keys. Memory, planning, task execution, and coding sessions all run on the subscription you already pay for — no per-token bill on top.

Quickstart

Open source and self-hosted. Your data stays in your infrastructure.

Choose your path:

I want to...How
Try it on my machineRun the one-step install below (requires Docker)
Deploy on a server or VPSOne-click Railway deploy
Use the Mac appJoin the waitlist

Install and start CORE:

npm install -g @redplanethq/corebrain && corebrain setup

The setup wizard asks for an install directory, AI provider, API key, and chat model. It generates secrets, starts the stack, and opens http://localhost:3033.

Most local installs take a few minutes once Docker is running.

Or deploy on Railway:

Deploy on Railway

Connect a gateway so CORE can run coding agents, drive your browser, and access local folders:

corebrain login
corebrain gateway setup

Requirements: Docker 20.10+, Docker Compose 2.20+, 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM

Full self-hosting guide

Your first task (2 minutes after setup):

  1. Open the Scratchpad (your daily page at http://localhost:3033)
  2. Type [ ] Summarize my open GitHub issues or any task you would normally do yourself
  3. CORE picks it up within 3 minutes, gathers context from connected apps, and drafts a plan
  4. Approve the plan and CORE runs it and brings back the result

Community

We are building CORE in public.

We share the roadmap and architectural decisions openly because the hardest problems in building a personal OS are best solved with the people using it. Star the repo, self-host it, share what you build, and open issues for what is broken or missing.


Self-host your personal AI OS.
