The self-improving AI agent — creates skills from experience, improves them during use, and runs anywhere

Eximia Agent ☤

The self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research. 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 — Nous 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 eximia 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	Seven terminal backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox. 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, Atropos RL environments, trajectory compression for training the next generation of tool-calling models.

Quick Install

Linux, macOS, WSL2, Termux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXIMIA-AI-AGENCY/eximia-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Windows (native, PowerShell) — Early Beta

Heads up: Native Windows support is early beta. It installs and runs, but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as our Linux/macOS/WSL2 paths. Please file issues when you hit rough edges. For the most battle-tested Windows setup today, run the Linux/macOS one-liner above inside WSL2.

Run this in PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXIMIA-AI-AGENCY/eximia-agent/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

The installer handles everything: uv, Python 3.11, Node.js, ripgrep, ffmpeg, and a portable Git Bash (MinGit, unpacked to %LOCALAPPDATA%\eximia\git — no admin required, completely isolated from any system Git install). Eximia uses this bundled Git Bash to run shell commands.

If you already have Git installed, the installer detects it and uses that instead. Otherwise a ~45MB MinGit download is all you need — it won't touch or interfere with any system Git.

Android / Termux: The tested manual path is documented in the Termux guide. On Termux, Eximia installs a curated .[termux] extra because the full .[all] extra currently pulls Android-incompatible voice dependencies.

Windows: Native Windows is supported as an early beta — the PowerShell one-liner above installs everything, but expect rough edges and please file issues when you hit them. If you'd rather use WSL2 (our most battle-tested Windows path), the Linux command works there too. Native Windows install lives under %LOCALAPPDATA%\eximia; WSL2 installs under ~/.eximia as on Linux. The only Eximia feature that currently needs WSL2 specifically is the browser-based dashboard chat pane (it uses a POSIX PTY — classic CLI and gateway both run natively).

After installation:

source ~/.bashrc    # reload shell (or: source ~/.zshrc)
eximia              # start chatting!

CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference

Eximia has two entry points: start the terminal UI with eximia, 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	eximia	Run eximia gateway setup + eximia 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, Eximia can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.

During first-time setup: The setup wizard (eximia setup) automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers to migrate before configuration begins.

Anytime after install:

eximia claw migrate              # Interactive migration (full preset)
eximia claw migrate --dry-run    # Preview what would be migrated
eximia claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without secrets
eximia claw migrate --overwrite  # Overwrite existing conflicts

What gets imported:

• SOUL.md — persona file
• Memories — MEMORY.md and USER.md entries
• Skills — user-created skills → ~/.eximia/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 eximia claw migrate --help for all options, or use the openclaw-migration skill for an interactive agent-guided migration with dry-run previews.

Contributing

We welcome contributions! See the Contributing Guide for development setup, code style, and PR process.

Quick start for contributors — clone and go with setup-eximia.sh:

git clone https://github.com/EXIMIA-AI-AGENCY/eximia-agent.git
cd eximia-agent
./setup-eximia.sh     # installs uv, creates venv, installs .[all], symlinks ~/.local/bin/eximia
./eximia              # auto-detects the venv, no need to `source` first

Manual path (equivalent to the above):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv .venv --python 3.11
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
scripts/run_tests.sh

RL Training (optional): The RL/Atropos integration (environments/) — see CONTRIBUTING.md for the full setup.
