AskAlf – Tell it what you need, it builds a team of AI workers

Self-hosted platform that creates specialist AI agents on demand. You describe a task in plain English, it figures out what kind of worker is needed, creates one with the right tools and system prompt, and runs it. If it already has the right specialist, it assigns them instead.

Workers run 24/7, remember what they've learned (pgvector semantic memory), create tickets for each other, and coordinate autonomously. Not a framework you wire together — it's a full platform with a dashboard, scheduler, and 70 built-in tools.

Runs on Docker. Supports Claude, OpenAI, or Ollama (fully free/local). MIT licensed.
