README ¶

Compa is a personal AI assistant that runs on your computer. You chat with it in your browser, pick the models it uses, and it can work with files, run commands and search the web for you. "Compa" is Mexican Spanish slang for pal.

Install

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://github.com/xibodev/compa/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/xibodev/compa/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

The installer checks the download against the release's SHA-256 checksums, installs two programs, compa and compa-kernel, and starts Compa. Where it installs, options, updating and uninstalling: docs/install.md.

Your first chat

Compa opens http://127.0.0.1:18800 in your browser (open it yourself if it doesn't). Set a password.
Go to Models. Press Try free providers, or connect a provider with an API key or a model server on your computer.
Go to Chat and ask something.

What it does

Chat with tools: files in its workspace folder, shell commands, web search and web pages, scheduled jobs.
Models from many providers: API-key providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq and Mistral AI; local servers (Ollama, LocalAI); your own OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoints; free keyless providers; and more through an optional extension app. A route tries a list of models in order until one answers.
Voice: dictation and spoken replies, push-to-talk or hands-free.
Chat apps: talk to Compa from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Matrix and more.
Skills (instructions for particular tasks, with a skill hub to find more) and installable modules that add capabilities.
Compa keeps its settings, chats and keys in ~/.compa on your computer; messages go to the model providers you choose. A password protects the web UI, which listens only on this computer unless you turn on LAN access.
The web UI is in English, Czech, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Bengali.

Documentation

Install: installers, updates, uninstalling, ports, LAN access.
Use Compa: models, chat, voice, channels, skills, modules, logs.
Troubleshooting, privacy and security
Command line: compa flags and compa-kernel commands.
Embed the Go runtime

For developers

compa-kernel is the agent runtime and works on its own in a terminal; see docs/cli.md. The same runtime is a Go package you can run inside your own program; see docs/embedding.md.

Build from source

You need Go 1.26.6, Node.js 22 and pnpm. The web UI is built first, because compa embeds it when it links.

cd web/frontend
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm run build:backend
cd ../..
go build -tags goolm,stdjson -o build/compa-kernel ./cmd/compa-kernel
go build -tags goolm,stdjson -o build/compa ./web/backend

On Windows, name the outputs compa-kernel.exe and compa.exe. Keep both programs in one folder: compa runs the compa-kernel beside it. More in docs/install.md.

var OnboardWorkspace embed.FS

OnboardWorkspace embeds the default onboarding workspace template.

Keeping this embed at the module root lets us source files directly from the tracked `workspace/` tree, instead of relying on a generated copy inside `cmd/...` that may be absent in clean checkouts and CI lint runs.
