Show HN: SamarthyaBot – a privacy-first self-hosted AI agent OS

Hi HN,

I’ve been experimenting with building a local AI agent system that can actually perform tasks on the machine instead of just responding with text.

SamarthyaBot is a self-hosted AI agent that runs locally and focuses on automation and privacy.

Some things it can do:

• run terminal commands • deploy projects to servers via SSH • control browsers using Puppeteer • send emails • run autonomous background tasks • support multiple LLM providers (Gemini, Ollama, etc.)

The goal is to treat it more like a local automation OS rather than just a chatbot.

Tech stack:

Node.js (gateway) Go worker (terminal execution) MongoDB (encrypted memory) React dashboard

I built it mainly to experiment with agent architectures and local AI workflows.

Would love feedback from the community.

Hi everyone — creator here.

I started building this because most AI tools I tried were either cloud-based or limited to chat.

I wanted something that could actually perform actions on the machine while keeping everything local and private.

Still experimenting with agent architecture and automation workflows, so feedback is very welcome.
