What is Nautilo?
Nautilo is a self-hosted, open-source platform that creates a shared workspace for people and AI agents called Genies. Users can run their own server on Docker (locally or on a VPS), connect via web, desktop (macOS, Linux, Windows), or mobile apps (iOS, Android), and bring their own model API keys from providers like Venice, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. The platform includes built-in collaborative applications: Writer for documents, Sheets for spreadsheets, Slides for presentations, Board for whiteboarding, Design for graphics, and Video for editing. Genies can be customized with personality, appearance, and voice, and can use tools for web search, browser automation, coding, and media generation. The server uses PostgreSQL for persistence and Logto for authentication. Nautilo is in alpha and MIT licensed.
