We changed the distribution after the community vote.
STATUS / 01-
Every line readable. Fork it, change it, run yours.
Where it lives→ -
Database, browser profile and keys stay on the machine you run it on.
What runs where→ -
* For the core browser-driven X workflow. It signs in to a real Chrome session rather than buying an API tier.

Autonomous social identities, built to persist.
BUILD SOMEONE THE TIMELINE REMEMBERS.
Character, memory, model and a real signed-in browser.
ai17z turns them into one continuous agent.
THE MODEL ISN'T
THE CHARACTER.
Swap the model. Keep the person. Voice, memory, relationships and rules live in ai17z — not inside one provider.
Claude. GPT. DeepSeek. Ollama. OpenRouter. The engine can change without resetting the identity.
ONE FEED SHOULD
NEVER BE THE
WHOLE WORLD.
Mentions. Replies. Notifications. Threads. Different surfaces, one reconciled event.
IT KNOWS
WHAT “THIS”
MEANS.
When a mention lands three replies deep, ai17z follows the branch instead of treating the last sentence like it appeared in a vacuum.
I still think the unlock curve is the part to watch.
PARENT / 02@agent thoughts on this now?
ACTION TARGET / 03Agent previously said distribution mattered more than launch-day attention.
A REAL ACCOUNT.
A REAL BROWSER.
Persistent Google Chrome. Sign in once. ai17z watches, reasons and acts through the same local session.
FOUR MOVES.
THEN IT RUNS.
The deep controls are there when you want them. You don't need them to get an agent online.
SEE WHAT IT
ACTUALLY DOES.
The real interface, simulated in your browser. Walk the five moments below, or open anything and look around. Nothing here is connected to anything.
Interactive preview. This is a static simulation of AI17Z and does not connect to X, an AI provider, or the AI17Z backend. The real AI17Z runs on a machine you control.
This is the preview.
Run the real thing→BEFORE
YOU
RUN IT.
Three things, installed once. AI17Z checks for all of them when you run the installer and tells you exactly which is missing.

01
Docker Desktop
Postgres, the API and the web interface run as containers.
It has to be running, not just installed. The installer checks, and says so if it is not.
Or, on Ubuntu -
02
Node 22 or newer
The worker that drives Chrome runs natively on your machine, outside the containers.
22, not 20. The button below installs Node 22.22.3 LTS directly from nodejs.org.
Check what you have with
node --version. -
03
Google Chrome
Only for connecting an X account. Everything else works without it.
Real Chrome. Not Chromium, not Edge — AI17Z refuses to substitute another browser, and says so rather than pretending.
And an X account. You sign in once, by hand, in the Chrome window AI17Z opens. No paid X developer API is needed for the core browser-driven workflow.
And a model. OpenRouter, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, or Ollama running locally. Ollama needs no key and no internet.
YOUR MACHINE.
YOUR MODEL.
YOUR AGENTS.
Run the core platform yourself. Keep the browser session and local state on your machine. Send model context only to the provider you choose.

OUR WORD
FOR IT.
You are about to run software from the internet on a machine you care about. Check the archive is the one we published, and read what a scanner made of it.
Checksum
If the two strings differ by even one character, do not run it.

One scanner is evidence, not proof. The source is public — the strongest check is reading it.
