🧙 alchemical-agent-ecosystem - Local Multi-Agent Platform

alchemical-agent-ecosystem is a tool that runs smart agents on your own computer. It lets you automate tasks without relying on paid internet services. The platform works locally on Windows and gives you control over your data. It supports many agents working together to complete jobs.

You do not need programming skills to use it. The system handles complex tasks like AI-driven automation, managing multiple agents, and connecting skills (small apps or functions) in one place. It uses modern technologies like Docker and Caddy, but you do not have to know those to get started.

To run alchemical-agent-ecosystem on Windows, your PC should meet these minimum requirements:

• Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
• 8 GB of RAM or more for smooth operation
• At least 10 GB of free disk space for the software and data
• Internet connection for the initial download and some updates
• Administrator rights for installation (to run setup and Docker)

If your PC has less than 8 GB RAM, the platform will still run but may be slower when managing multiple agents.

• Multiple AI agents working together locally
• Ability to add or remove skills for different tasks
• Self-hosted platform that does not share data externally
• Easy-to-use software with a graphical interface
• Automatic updates with no need for coding
• Support for Docker and reverse proxy through Caddy for managing connections

These features let you automate workflows like scheduling, data processing, and responding to emails without leaving your PC.

Check you have administrator access on your Windows PC. This is needed to install and configure some components.

Have a stable internet connection for downloading the setup files.

If you use antivirus software, it might alert you during install. This is normal for new apps. Allow the app to run to avoid problems.
