# Rakazo — AI Coding Tool Review & Pricing

> Rakazo is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent platform for persistent AI teammates. Each bot keeps its own conversations, memory, routines and history and works on shared or private computers with browser, terminal, file and desktop access, delegating to peer bots or subagents when needed.

## Key features

- Persistent bots with their own conversations, memory, routines and history
- Shared Team Computers and isolated Private computers with browser, terminal, file and graphical desktop access
- Delegation to peer bots or short-lived subagents
- Bring-your-own models via Pi and sandboxes on Docker, E2B, Daytona, CreateOS, Box or a trusted local machine
- Integrations through Composio, Pipedream Connect, remote MCP, OpenAPI and Treg tool sources
- Web, Electron desktop, iPhone and Android apps with voice mode

## Pricing

**Model**: Free

Free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license when self-hosted; you bring your own model API credentials and sandbox/computer provider, which are billed separately. The project is in beta.

## Who it is for

- **Best for**: Developers and small teams who want a self-hosted, model-agnostic alternative to hosted agent assistants, with sandboxed computers and tool integrations they control.
- **Not ideal for**: Teams that want a fully managed, production-hardened coding agent today; Rakazo is in beta and self-hosting requires Docker plus your own model and sandbox credentials.

## Verdict

A fast-growing, well-structured open-source agent platform that gives OpenClaw- and Hermes-style persistent agents a polished multi-device UI and pluggable sandboxes; promising but still beta.

## Recent updates

Released v0.2.0 and a downloadable Android APK on October 10, 2026, following v0.1.6 on September 8, 2026; the repository is under daily development (October 18, 2026 commits add new Claude model entries) and trended on GitHub in mid-October 2026.
