Elidia Agent ☤
The self-improving AI agent built by AiUtils. It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.
Use any model you want — Elidia Portal, OpenRouter (200+ models), NovitaAI (AI-native cloud for Model API, Agent Sandbox, and GPU Cloud), NVIDIA NIM (Nemotron), Xiaomi MiMo, z.ai/GLM, Kimi/Moonshot, MiniMax, Hugging Face, OpenAI, or your own endpoint. Switch with elidia model — no code changes, no lock-in.
| A real terminal interface | Full TUI with multiline editing, slash-command autocomplete, conversation history, interrupt-and-redirect, and streaming tool output. |
| Lives where you do | Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI — all from a single gateway process. Voice memo transcription, cross-platform conversation continuity. |
| A closed learning loop | Agent-curated memory with periodic nudges. Autonomous skill creation after complex tasks. Skills self-improve during use. FTS5 session search with LLM summarization for cross-session recall. Honcho dialectic user modeling. Compatible with the agentskills.io open standard. |
| Scheduled automations | Built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform. Daily reports, nightly backups, weekly audits — all in natural language, running unattended. |
| Delegates and parallelizes | Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams. Write Python scripts that call tools via RPC, collapsing multi-step pipelines into zero-context-cost turns. |
| Runs anywhere, not just your laptop | Six terminal backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, and Daytona. Daytona and Modal offer serverless persistence — your agent's environment hibernates when idle and wakes on demand, costing nearly nothing between sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS or a GPU cluster. |
| Research-ready | Batch trajectory generation, trajectory compression for training the next generation of tool-calling models. |
Install
Requires Python 3.11–3.13.
pip install elidia-agent-cli
Prefer an isolated tool environment? Use uv (recommended) or pipx:
uv tool install elidia-agent-cli
# or
pipx install elidia-agent-cli
To pull in every optional backend in one shot (messaging platforms, web search, image generation, TTS, and more):
pip install "elidia-agent-cli[all]"
After installation:
elidia # start chatting!
Android / Termux: the tested manual path is documented in the Termux guide. On Termux, install the curated extra that avoids Android-incompatible voice dependencies:
pip install "elidia-agent-cli[termux]"
Getting Started
elidia # Interactive CLI — start a conversation
elidia model # Choose your LLM provider and model
elidia tools # Configure which tools are enabled
elidia config set # Set individual config values
elidia gateway # Start the messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
elidia setup # Run the full setup wizard (configures everything at once)
elidia claw migrate # Migrate from OpenClaw (if coming from OpenClaw)
elidia update # Update to the latest version
elidia doctor # Diagnose any issues
Skip the API-key collection — Elidia Portal
Elidia works with whatever provider you want — that's not changing. But if you'd rather not collect five separate API keys for the model, web search, image generation, TTS, and a cloud browser, Elidia Portal covers all of them under one subscription:
- 300+ models — pick any of them with
/model <name> - Tool Gateway — web search (Firecrawl), image generation (FAL), text-to-speech (OpenAI), cloud browser (Browser Use), all routed through your sub. No extra accounts.
One command from a fresh install:
elidia setup --portal
That logs you in via OAuth, sets Elidia as your provider, and turns on the Tool Gateway. Check what's wired up any time with elidia portal info. Full details on the Tool Gateway docs page.
You can still bring your own keys per-tool whenever you want — the gateway is per-backend, not all-or-nothing.
CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference
Elidia has two entry points: start the terminal UI with elidia, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
| Action | CLI | Messaging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Start chatting | elidia |
Run elidia gateway setup + elidia gateway start, then send the bot a message |
| Start fresh conversation | /new or /reset |
/new or /reset |
| Change model | /model [provider:model] |
/model [provider:model] |
| Set a personality | /personality [name] |
/personality [name] |
| Retry or undo the last turn | /retry, /undo |
/retry, /undo |
| Compress context / check usage | /compress, /usage, /insights [--days N] |
/compress, /usage, /insights [days] |
| Browse skills | /skills or /<skill-name> |
/<skill-name> |
| Interrupt current work | Ctrl+C or send a new message |
/stop or send a new message |
| Platform-specific status | /platforms |
/status, /sethome |
For the full command lists, see the CLI guide and the Messaging Gateway guide.

Migrating from OpenClaw
If you're coming from OpenClaw, Elidia can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.
During first-time setup: The setup wizard (elidia setup) automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers to migrate before configuration begins.
Anytime after install:
elidia claw migrate # Interactive migration (full preset)
elidia claw migrate --dry-run # Preview what would be migrated
elidia claw migrate --preset user-data # Migrate without secrets
elidia claw migrate --overwrite # Overwrite existing conflicts
What gets imported:
- SOUL.md — persona file
- Memories — MEMORY.md and USER.md entries
- Skills — user-created skills →
~/.elidia/skills/openclaw-imports/ - Command allowlist — approval patterns
- Messaging settings — platform configs, allowed users, working directory
- API keys — allowlisted secrets (Telegram, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs)
- TTS assets — workspace audio files
- Workspace instructions — AGENTS.md (with
--workspace-target)
See elidia claw migrate --help for all options, or use the openclaw-migration skill for an interactive agent-guided migration with dry-run previews.
