OPEN SOURCE AI AGENT FOR TERMUX
Small
footprint.
Real agency.
A persistent AI agent with tools,
memory, notes and skills. Built to
do more with less.
YOUR WORK, YOUR CONTEXT
Pick up where you left off.
Chelus files what you mention in plain Markdown notes, and finds it again later.

REAL-WORLD HARDWARE
Built on a
Galaxy A10e.
Chelus’s agent runtime, tools, conversations, memory, and skills run on the phone. The core uses Python’s standard library, with no pip dependencies.
A 32-bit Termux environment is the demonstrated platform. With Termux:Boot it comes back on its own after a reboot. The small footprint is a constraint we build around, not a limit on useful work.
Agent on your device.
Inference via DeepSeek or another OpenAI-compatible API.
SMALL CORE. USEFUL REACH.
