Each bot gets a sandboxed browser and shell, signs into your tools the way you would, and completes tasks while you're away. It's a direct [Grok Bot alternative](/alternatives/grok-bot) built around one principle: you own everything.\n\nBots run in Docker on your own machine, behind your firewall. Sessions and credentials never leave your infrastructure. You point each bot at whatever model you want (Claude, GPT, Grok, or a local model), and you can mix and match per bot. The cheap model triages; the smart one writes.\n\nSetup starts with an interview. A new bot asks you a few questions about the work, your writing style, and which tools it should use. Then it gets going.\n\n**What bots can handle out of the box:**\n\nRoutines are saved as plain Markdown. Show a bot a workflow once and it writes a routine you can read, edit, and commit to version control. Approvals are configurable: set what a bot may do alone and what it must ask you about first. Every action lands in an audit log you own.\n\nRakazo is Apache-2.0 licensed with no seats, no pricing tiers, and nothing gated. Unlimited bots, no limits on usage. A managed cloud option (where you bring your own keys and they run the sandboxes) is planned, with no migration required when it arrives.\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nRepository age\n\nLicense\n\nSelf-hosted\n\nRepository\n\nEvery Sunday we deconstruct one proprietary app and pick the best open source alternatives worth switching to.\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nCompare with\n\nStars\n\nStars\n\nStars\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nCompare with\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nCompare with\n\nLast commit\n\nLicense\n\nCompare with", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/rakazo", "canonical_source": "https://openalternative.co/rakazo?utm_source=openalternative.co&utm_medium=rss", "published_at": "2026-08-20 13:59:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-20 15:42:31.068211+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Rakazo", "Grok Bot", "Apache-2.0", "Docker", "Claude", "GPT", "Grok"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/rakazo", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/rakazo.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/rakazo.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/rakazo.jsonld"}}
