Eliza is an open-source ai agents project by elizaOS (elizaOS/eliza on GitHub). It has 19,536 GitHub stars and 5,774 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 3 October 2026.
Application frameworks, agent runtimes, or voice stacks — choose by whether you are building apps, automations, or realtime voice.
Python or TypeScript packages install with one command; most include quickstart templates.
Give the agent functions it can call and a memory layer so it stays coherent across sessions.
Launch the agent, watch its tool calls and reasoning traces, and iterate on prompts and tools.
Agents act on the world: APIs, databases, browsers, and shell commands.
Crews and graphs of specialized agents collaborating on complex tasks.
Short and long-term memory so agents improve across sessions.
Traces of every decision and tool call — essential for debugging.
Low-latency stacks for conversational voice agents.
Swap underlying LLMs without rewriting your agent logic.
Download the source and move into the project folder.
git clone https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza.git
cd elizaUse the package manager the project specifies (check for pnpm or yarn lockfiles).
npm installLaunch the dev server or build, per the README.
npm run devFrameworks build your own; some repos here ship ready-made agents you can run directly.
Tool-calling quality matters more than raw size — strong mid-size models work well.
It is an open-source project at elizaOS/eliza with 5,774 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.
Sandbox tool access, confirm destructive actions, and review traces — treat agents like junior employees with supervision.
Self-hosted frameworks are free; you pay only for model inference (local or API).
A quickstart template in the framework's docs — most get a first agent running in minutes.
