What It Is

Elephant Agent is agency-first personal AI.

It keeps one durable object at the center: a correctable, evidence-backed Personal Model of what should shape future help. Tools, skills, memory, messaging, cron jobs, and background learning orbit that model instead of replacing it.

The product position is L4 personal AI: agents may do more work, but the person should not lose judgment, continuity, or growth in the process.

Personal Agent Levels

Personal Model

• Identity — who you are, your values, boundaries, decision style, and stable preferences.
• World — the people, projects, tools, places, and relationships around you.
• Pulse — what is alive right now: focus, pressure, constraints, energy, and priorities.
• Journey — what your path has taught: lessons, failures, recovery patterns, and long-running growth.

The goal is not to remember everything. The goal is to understand what matters, show why it matters, and let you change it.

What It Does

If Elephant Agent cannot find reliable Personal Model support, no_match is a feature, not a failure.

Quickstart

Elephant Agent has two supported product shapes.

1. macOS desktop app (recommended)

Use this path for the full local desktop workspace: Wake, You, Diary, Reflect, Jobs, Skills, Settings, and the Personal Model map in one native app.

1. Download the latest macOS build from GitHub Releases.
2. Open Elephant Agent.app.
3. Create your first elephant, choose a provider, and set curiosity effort.
4. Return through Wake when you want to continue the same path.

2. CLI + Dashboard (Linux / Cloud)

Use this path for Linux, cloud machines, SSH workflows, and terminal-first operators. The CLI is the daily work surface; the Dashboard is the visual inspection surface for Personal Model, evidence, jobs, skills, and runtime state.

Install:

curl -fsSL https://elephant.agentic-in.ai/install.sh | bash

First run:

elephant init        # choose identity, provider, and curiosity effort
elephant status      # check provider and local runtime readiness
elephant wake        # enter the chat TUI
elephant dashboard   # open You, Questions, and Evidence

For remote or cloud use, elephant dashboard --no-open prints the local URL so you can attach through your preferred tunnel or browser setup.
