Why LiveAgent?

LiveAgent is a local-first AI agent desktop client. It deeply integrates large language model reasoning with local system tools, so the AI can genuinely operate your file system, run commands, and manage scheduled tasks — while the Gateway enables remote access and collaboration.

An agent that actually gets things done — beyond chat: read and write files, make precise edits, run Bash, and supervise long-running processes
A fully open ecosystem — bridge any external tool via the MCP protocol, and load Skills packages on demand
Local and remote, both — the desktop app works fully standalone; deploy the Gateway and control it from any browser

Core Features

🧠 Multi-Model & Chat

Multi-model routing — Claude (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and Gemini protocols, with custom Base URL support for third-party compatible services
Rich rendering — streaming Markdown with built-in KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, and Monaco code preview
History compaction — dual-layer Segment + Summary Checkpoint persistence keeps long conversations from losing context
Internationalization — built-in i18n multi-language framework

🔧 Local Tool Execution

Full file-system capabilities — precise Read / Write / Edit / Delete, plus Glob / Grep pattern and regex search
Bash & long-running processes — non-interactive command execution (cwd / timeout), with ManagedProcess supervising dev servers and other resident tasks
Sub-agent delegation — independent sub-agents execute in parallel with worktree isolation and automatic merging
Tunnel exposure — TunnelManager exposes local services to the public internet in one click

🧩 MCP & Skills Ecosystem

MCP protocol bridging — the Tauri side natively bridges any stdio / http MCP server for unlimited tool extension
Skills packages — progressive disclosure and on-demand loading, with install / create / package support and the ClawHub ecosystem

💾 Memory & Automation

Persistent memory — Markdown + SQLite FTS full-text search for cross-session knowledge management
Scheduled tasks — bash / http / prompt cron job types, executed automatically in the background

🌐 Remote Gateway

Access from any browser — Go gateway (WebSocket + Protobuf) with a WebUI for remotely controlling the local agent
Disconnect recovery — a bounded seq window replays short outages, with desktop-side persistence as the safety net

Download & Deployment

Installers are automatically built, signed, and published by GitHub Actions — grab the latest version from GitHub Releases.

System Requirements

Platform	Requirements
macOS	Both Intel (x64) and Apple Silicon (aarch64) architectures
Windows	x64; requires the WebView2 runtime (bundled with Windows 11)
Linux	x86_64; requires WebKitGTK 4.1 (Ubuntu 22.04+ / Debian 12+, etc.)

macOS

Download the DMG matching your chip from Releases, open it, and drag LiveAgent into Applications:

Apple Silicon (M-series): LiveAgent-<version>-macOS-aarch64.dmg
Intel: LiveAgent-<version>-macOS-x64.dmg

The installer is signed and notarized by Apple — no manual security override is needed on first launch.

Windows

Pick an installation method from Releases:

Method	File	Best for
Setup wizard	`LiveAgent-<version>-Windows-x64-Setup.exe`	Most users
MSI package	`LiveAgent-<version>-Windows-x64.msi`	Enterprise distribution / silent install
Portable	`LiveAgent-<version>-Windows-x64-portable.zip`	No install — unzip and run

Linux

Choose by distribution from Releases:

Format	Distributions	Install
AppImage	Any distribution	`chmod +x`, then run directly
DEB	Debian / Ubuntu family	`sudo dpkg -i LiveAgent-<version>-Linux-x86_64.deb`
RPM	Fedora / openSUSE family	`sudo rpm -i LiveAgent-<version>-Linux-x86_64.rpm`

Need Remote Access? Deploy the Gateway

The desktop app works out of the box and depends on no server. Deploy the Gateway only if you want to control your local agent from a browser.

Note: when deployed behind an Nginx reverse proxy, set the Gateway address on the Settings → Remote page to the HTTPS URL and use port 443.

# Pull the image (built by GitHub Actions, multi-arch: amd64 / arm64)
docker pull ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest

# Run in the background (HTTP/WebSocket → host 3000)
docker run -d \
  --name liveagent-gateway \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 3000:8080 \
  -e LIVEAGENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-token \
  ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest

One-command upgrade to the latest version — pull the new image → remove the old container → recreate it with the same arguments (if you changed the port mappings or token, adjust the arguments below accordingly):

docker pull ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest \
  && docker rm -f liveagent-gateway \
  && docker run -d \
    --name liveagent-gateway \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    -p 3000:8080 \
    -e LIVEAGENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-token \
    ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest \
  && docker image prune -f

Since protocol v2, all traffic — the WebUI, the HTTP API, and the WebSocket links of both the browser and the desktop app — goes through the single HTTP port (default 3000).
WebSocket upgrades happen on several paths (/ws/v2, /ws/v2/agent, /ws/v2/terminal, and tunnels under /t/), so the simplest correct setup enables the upgrade on the whole vhost:

# WebUI SPA/static/API + every WebSocket link (browser and desktop)
location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;

    # WebSocket upgrade
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

    # Required: the Gateway's same-origin check compares the browser's
    # Origin header against X-Forwarded-Proto + Host
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header Authorization $http_authorization;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

    # The Gateway pings every WebSocket connection every 15s,
    # so a generous-but-finite timeout is enough
    proxy_read_timeout 300s;
    proxy_send_timeout 300s;
    proxy_buffering off;
}

The upstream port maps to the host port from the docker run above: HTTP/WebSocket 3000 (inside the container, HTTP actually listens on PORT=8080). The server block needs listen 443 ssl; and a client_max_body_size large enough for attachment uploads (e.g. 100m).

FAQ

<details> <summary>Does my API key ever leave my machine?</summary>

No. Keys are stored locally on the desktop side only. The Gateway is a pure protocol relay — it never accesses the file system and never stores any credentials.

</details> <details> <summary>Do I have to deploy the Gateway?</summary>

No. The desktop client works standalone with all local capabilities; deploy the Gateway only when you need browser-based remote access to your local agent.

</details> <details> <summary>Which models are supported?</summary>

Claude (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and Gemini protocols are built in, plus custom Base URL support for any compatible third-party service.

</details> <details> <summary>Will long conversations / disconnects lose context?</summary>

No. The desktop app persists the full history with Segment + Summary Checkpoints; the Gateway replays short disconnects through a bounded seq window and converges automatically after reconnecting.
