So, I have tried lots of the popular local agent frameworks. Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Agent Zero and so on. It was great fun and extremely educational, but I felt that none of them are ready for most end-users. They can take forever to setup, or simply break when you finally spent weeks on training them. So I decided to build my own!

#### Fixes several issues with current frameworks

Lots of things can go bad when working with agents, and I have tried to address them all in my own agent which hopefully will be publicly available soon. Here are some of the improvements over competing frameworks…

– Built with PHP for Linux systems

– Simple installer with just a few questions

– Easy LLM setup that just works (both local for GPU, cloud provider and tiny CPU backup)

– View and handle local models in Ollama directly from the graphical interface

– WebUI with password protection

– Clever long-term memory with markdown Wiki and QMD semantic search

– Core files are separated from the actual workspace for easier backup or restore

– Agent by default doesn’t have permission to edit (or crash) the agent core

– Lots of guardrails that prevent looped thinking or stalled work

– Pre-built subagents optimized for common tasks

– Consultant subagent that spends tokens on external LLM provider only when needed

– Agent overview to monitor live progress and delegations

– Quick setup of LAN or internet access to the agent

– Progressive Web App; works on Android without involving Google Play

– Kanban project management board that even idiots understand to use

– File explorer where the entire Wiki and workfiles can be viewed

– Skills for better long running and multi-step challenges

– MCP for adding endless capabilities by external services

– Truly automatic context window handling

– A single continuous chat per project, no more session switching

– Toggle setting for giving the agent full system access or sudo

Some improvements, debugging and testing is still underway. But keep an eye out for *Dagento*!
