I built [Real Bot](https://github.com/Blackman99/real-bot) for **local multi-bot teammates on your Mac** — named bots with duties, groups, `@` mentions and handoffs — that stay on your machine.

Alpha, macOS only. Unsigned `.dmg` from [Releases](https://github.com/Blackman99/real-bot/releases/latest).
