## 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](#eliza-cloud-optional) is optional — add it for hosted inference, sync, and deploys.

## Get Eliza

| Platform                              | How                                                                 |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Web**                               | Open [app.elizacloud.ai](https://app.elizacloud.ai)                 |
| **Desktop** — macOS · Windows · Linux | Download from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza/releases) |
| **iOS · Android**                     | App Store · Play · sideload                                         |

Run from source:

```bash
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](#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](https://plugins.elizacloud.ai); curated entries in [`packages/registry`](packages/registry), plus any npm package tagged `elizaos`.
- **First-party apps** — [`plugin-browser`](plugins/plugin-browser), [`plugin-documents`](plugins/plugin-documents), [`plugin-phone`](plugins/plugin-phone), [`plugin-task-coordinator`](plugins/plugin-task-coordinator).
- **Earn** — apps deployed through Eliza Cloud can be metered and monetized.
