// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your AI app

    Decide what your application needs — chat with memory, tool use, retrieval over your data, or all three.

  2. Deploy the platform

    Clone the repo and start the Docker deployment with your .env configuration.

  3. Configure modules

    In the console or API, register your language models, tools and retrieval collections.

  4. Build your first assistant

    Create an assistant from your modules, open a chat through the SDK, and send your first message.

// features

Why people love it

Decoupled modular management

Models, tools and RAG systems are managed independently of assistants and can be freely combined and swapped.

Stateful and stateless usage

Supports managed conversation history and sessions, or simple stateless chat-completion requests.

Multi-tenant support

Designed for fast deployment into multi-tenant products, unlike single-assistant frameworks tied to one vendor.

Unified API

One API surface manages tools, retrieval systems, language models and assistants.

Console and client SDK

A web UI console for configuration plus a Python SDK for creating assistants, chats and messages programmatically.

Model diversity

Not restricted to one vendor's models, addressing the proprietary limitations the project calls out in alternatives.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone TaskingAI and enter the Docker deployment directory.

    git clone https://github.com/TaskingAI/TaskingAI.git
    cd TaskingAI
  2. Configure and start

    Copy the example environment file, adjust it, and start the platform.

    cd docker
    cp .env.example .env
    docker-compose -p taskingai --env-file .env up -d
  3. Use the client SDK

    Install the Python client to create assistants and chats against your deployment.

    pip install taskingai

Questions, answered

Who maintains TaskingAI?

TaskingAI is maintained by the TaskingAI team, with the product site at tasking.ai.

Is TaskingAI free?

Yes — it is open source under the Apache-2.0 license for self-hosting.

Does it need a paid API key?

You register your own language models with the platform, so you need credentials for whichever model providers you choose.

How does it compare to OpenAI Assistants?

TaskingAI positions itself against vendor-tied assistants: it is vendor-neutral, supports stateful and stateless use, decouples tools/RAG/models from assistants, and supports multi-tenant deployment.

How do I get started?

Clone the repo, start the Docker Compose deployment, open the console, and create your first assistant.
