Decision brief
Eliza is an open-source agentic operating system built to support AI agents and autonomous systems with integrations for popular communication platforms like Discord, Slack, and Telegram.
Good fit when
- - When you need an OS specifically tailored for developing or hosting sophisticated AI agents
- - For projects that benefit from pre-built plugins for platforms such as Discord, Slack, and Telegram
Avoid when
- - If your project requires a specialized operating system beyond agentic support (i.e., systems needing extensive real-time processing)
- - When reliance on TypeScript is undesirable or incompatible with existing codebases that are primarily in other languages

elizaOS is an open-source TypeScript framework and product stack for autonomous
AI agents. This monorepo contains the core runtime, the Eliza app, the CLI,
cloud services, native bridges, and first-party plugins. The bootable Linux and
Android distributions live in the separate
elizaOS/os repository.
Choose a starting point
| Goal | Start here |
|---|---|
| Use Eliza | Open the web app, visit Eliza downloads, or use a published GitHub release |
| Run this repository | Follow Run Eliza from source |
| Build an agent or plugin | Install the elizaos CLI and read the developer docs |
| Contribute | Read CONTRIBUTING.md and the repository guide in AGENTS.md |
| Run a whole device as elizaOS | Use the installers and target guides in elizaOS/os |
Run Eliza from source
The repository pins Bun and Node versions in package.json.
Install those versions, then:
git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/elizaos/eliza.git
cd eliza
bun install
bun run dev
bun install also prepares submodules and patches. The legacy archive
artifact bundle is never pulled implicitly; fetch it deliberately with
bun run fetch:archive-artifacts if you need those fixtures.
Common repository commands:
bun run build # build the workspace with Turbo
bun run verify # package parity, dependency, type, lint, and audit gates
bun run test # repository unit/integration test lane
bun run test:e2e # end-to-end lane
bun run cloud:mock # local Eliza Cloud stack with mocks
See AGENTS.md for package scoping, shared development servers, and the evidence required before a change is considered complete.
What is in the stack?
Eliza
Eliza is the user-facing agent app for web, desktop, and mobile targets. Its capabilities are supplied by the runtime and installed plugins, including:
- chat, voice, memory, knowledge, and document workflows;
- messaging and workspace connectors;
- calendar, reminders, inbox, goals, health, and other personal-assistant domains;
- browser and desktop automation;
- camera, phone, messages, contacts, location, and other native device bridges;
- non-custodial EVM and Solana wallet operations with approval boundaries; and
- scheduled workflows, coding-agent orchestration, and installable app views.
Availability depends on the operating system, installed plugins, granted permissions, and configured model or service providers. Package-level READMEs document the exact support and setup for each capability.
The framework
The framework is model-agnostic and extended through plugins:
@elizaos/coredefinesAgentRuntime, the canonical types, the message loop, memory and state primitives, and plugin contracts.@elizaos/agentassembles a standalone agent and HTTP backend around the core runtime.@elizaos/app-coreprovides shared application hosting, API, and platform orchestration for Eliza app targets.@elizaos/uicontains the shared React UI used by app surfaces.elizaosis the project and plugin scaffolding, upgrade, and deployment CLI.
