How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide what you want to achieve with agenticSeek and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.

    Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).

  3. Install and configure

    Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.

  4. Run your first task

    Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.

// features

Why people love it

Fully local operation

Designed to run with local LLMs so tasks, files and browsing stay on your machine.

Web browsing agent

The agent browses the web itself to gather information for tasks.

Coding ability

Writes and runs code as part of completing multi-step tasks.

Voice assistant features

Includes speech-to-text so you can talk to the agent.

Optional API mode

If you prefer, it can run against API providers instead of a local model (documented .env configuration).

Server mode

Can run the LLM on your own separate server while the agent runs elsewhere.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the AgenticSeek source.

    git clone https://github.com/Fosowl/agenticSeek.git
    cd agenticSeek
  2. Configure and start services

    Edit the .env file for your setup (local model or API), then start the Docker services as documented in the README's setup steps.

    docker compose up -d
    # see README sections 2-3 for the exact .env values and service order
  3. Give it a task

    Open the interface, speak or type a goal, and watch the agent browse and code its way through it.

    # follow the README 'Usage' section for the interface address and first-run checks

Questions, answered

Who maintains agenticSeek?

agenticSeek is maintained by the Fosowl organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository Fosowl/agenticSeek.

Is agenticSeek free to use?

Yes — the code is open source under the GPL-3.0 license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.

Does agenticSeek need a paid API key?

No paid API key is required in the default local setup — you run a local model. An optional API mode exists if you want stronger hosted models, using your own key.

How does agenticSeek compare to Manus and hosted agents?

Hosted agents are stronger out of the box but charge subscriptions and process your data remotely; AgenticSeek is GPL-3.0, local and free — limited mainly by your hardware and local model quality.

How do I get started with agenticSeek?

Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
