The AI team that works while you sleep.

How it works

One goal in, a whole org chart of agents on it.

1

CEO Agent

Takes your goal, breaks it into department-level work, and keeps the whole team pointed at it.

2

Department Heads

Plan the work for their area, delegate tasks to workers, and review what comes back.

3

Worker Agents

Execute individual tasks on local Ollama models and report results back up the chain — all the way to your Telegram.

CEO Agent Dept Head · Dev Dept Head · Research Worker Worker Worker

The whole team is one YAML file — the dev-team template looks like this:

# teams/dev-team.yaml — planned format for the CLI MVP
team: dev-team
ceo:
  model: qwen2.5:14b          # runs locally via Ollama
departments:
  engineering:
    head: llama3.1:8b
    workers: 2
report:
  channel: telegram

Why local

Your office, your hardware, your rules.

🔒 Private

Your code and data never leave your machine. Agents run on local Ollama models by default — the only network calls are the ones you configure yourself.

💸 Free

No subscription, no seats, no metering. JellyClaw is open source and runs on hardware you already own. Electricity is the whole bill.

🧩 Flexible

One YAML file defines your whole team. Swap models, restructure departments, or rewire who reports to whom — without touching code.
