Your model
Sign in with Claude Pro/Max (Sonnet or Opus) or ChatGPT Plus/Pro, or use an Anthropic or OpenAI API key. OpenRouter, Grok or SuperGrok, and Ollama or LM Studio work too. Swap per bot: the cheap one triages, the smart one writes.
The open source Grok Bot alternative you actually own
Give a bot real work. It signs in to your tools, uses them the way you do, and comes back when it needs you.

FAQ
Can I use my Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription?
Yes — sign in with that subscription, or use an API key / OpenRouter / a local OpenAI-compatible server (Ollama, LM Studio, etc.). Rakazo does not pay the model bill.
Do I need an API key if I already pay for Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Sign in with Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro and that subscription covers the model. An API key is the other path, for Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Grok. Rakazo does not pay either way.
Can I run a local model?
Yes. Point a bot at a local OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama or LM Studio. Each bot can use a different model.

landed here after a first experience with Grok Bot … then found this alternative, and i can confirm that your work rocks. it replaced totally grok bot for me. mobile app is very smooth too
Im a co-founder and cto, loving rakazo, we have it running against private on qwen 3.8 with strong hw/gpus - all private.
I use it to find cheap servers and computer parts on ebay and all other marketplaces and send me everything he decided is a good deal.
Hermes is good but more complicated setup. Rakazo has better multi agent workflow and simpler to setup
ive been using rakazo for 1 month in claude oauth no problems yet
I set up the mobile app today with expo, first time using expo but was easy with rakazo walking me through
