Jazz
One agent. Every surface. Your rules.
Jazz is a general-purpose AI agent that runs on your own machine. Not just for code: use it for email, research, planning, and automation.
Install it once and it runs everywhere. A terminal REPL, a one-shot command inside a script, a scheduled workflow, a GitHub Action that reviews your pull requests, or a Telegram and Discord bot on a server you own. Same agent, same tools, same memory. When a job needs your permission it asks you wherever you are, rather than stopping.
18 providers are supported, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, and
OpenRouter, plus ollama and llama.cpp for local models with no API key. Everything else
connects through MCP.
Get started
curl -fsSL https://github.com/lvndry/jazz/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
jazz
That installs a single self-contained binary into ~/.local/bin — no Node, no npm, nothing
else to install. Set JAZZ_INSTALL_DIR to put it somewhere else. If you would rather go
through npm:
npm install -g jazz-ai
jazz
Either way, jazz update upgrades in place.
Jazz walks you through provider setup on first run. It can cost nothing:
OpenRouter's free models router
needs no credit card, and ollama runs entirely on your own hardware.
Then ask it for what you want:
> check my unread email, summarize what matters, archive the rest
> deep-research the Three-Body Problem and write it into my Obsidian vault
> every morning at 7, tell me the weather and what to wear
> review the last 5 commits and flag anything risky
Where it runs
| Surface | How you run it |
|---|---|
| Terminal | jazz |
| Scripts & pipes | jazz run --json --agent dev "…" |
| Cron / launchd | jazz workflow schedule <name> |
| GitHub PRs & Actions | .github/jazz/, reviews every PR in this repo |
| Telegram | integrations/telegram-bot/, docker compose up |
| Discord | integrations/discord-bot/, docker compose up |
Slack, Google Chat, or your own app work the same way. See Chat platforms.
