What is this?
elizaOS is an open-source, local-first operating system for AI agents. Two parts:
- Eliza — the app. An AI assistant for desktop, mobile, and web: chat, voice, your messaging accounts, a personal-assistant brain, a non-custodial wallet, browser automation, and on-device models.
- elizaOS — the runtime and the OS underneath it. The same runtime can take over the whole machine — boot a Linux desktop or run on Android as the system assistant.
The agent, your data, and the models all run on your device. Eliza Cloud is optional — add it for hosted inference, sync, and deploys.
Get Eliza
| Platform | How |
|---|---|
| Web | Open app.elizacloud.ai |
| Desktop — macOS · Windows · Linux | Download from GitHub Releases |
| iOS · Android | App Store · Play · sideload |
Run from source:
git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/elizaos/eliza.git
cd eliza
bun install
bun run dev # API + the Eliza app UI
To run a whole device as elizaOS instead, see elizaOS — the operating system.
What Eliza does
The app ships with:
- 💬 Chat — one inbox for your agent and your accounts (iMessage, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Farcaster, X).
- 🎙️ Voice — hands-free voice with on-device transcription and natural speech.
- 📇 Phone · Messages · Contacts — telephony and SMS surfaces (native on Android).
- 🧠 Personal assistant — calendar, reminders, inbox triage, tasks, daily brief, and owner-approved actions.
- 🌐 Browser & computer use — the agent drives a real browser and desktop.
- 👛 Wallet — non-custodial EVM + Solana: transfers, swaps, bridges, LP. Every spend needs your OK.
- 📄 Documents — ask questions over your files (RAG).
- 📷 Camera & vision — capture and reason over images.
- ⚙️ Automations — schedule recurring work; pick models and routing.
Private by default
Eliza can run the whole pipeline on your device via Eliza-1, the on-device model family (Gemma-4):
- Text generation and embeddings, from ~2B (phone) to ~27B (desktop).
- Voice — local speech-to-text and text-to-speech; audio never leaves the device.
- Vision & images — on-device description and generation.
Pick a model in Settings → Model Routing and it downloads and pins; from then on it works with no network.
Apps on elizaOS
elizaOS runs apps, not just an agent. An app is a plugin that adds a surface inside Eliza; the runtime installs, launches, and tracks it like real software, and it survives restarts.
- Browse & install — catalog at plugins.elizacloud.ai; curated entries in
packages/registry, plus any npm package taggedelizaos. - First-party apps —
plugin-browser,plugin-documents,plugin-phone,plugin-task-coordinator. - Earn — apps deployed through Eliza Cloud can be metered and monetized.
