elizaOS is an open-source TypeScript framework and product stack for autonomous AI agents. This monorepo contains the core runtime, the Eliza app, the CLI, cloud services, native bridges, and first-party plugins. The bootable Linux and Android distributions live in the separate elizaOS/os repository.

Run Eliza from source

The repository pins Bun and Node versions in package.json. Install those versions, then:

git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/elizaos/eliza.git
cd eliza
bun install
bun run dev

bun install also prepares submodules, patches, and runtime artifacts. For a smaller development install that skips the large artifact bundle, use bun run install:light.

Common repository commands:

bun run build       # build the workspace with Turbo
bun run verify      # package parity, dependency, type, lint, and audit gates
bun run test        # repository unit/integration test lane
bun run test:e2e    # end-to-end lane
bun run cloud:mock  # local Eliza Cloud stack with mocks

See AGENTS.md for package scoping, shared development servers, and the evidence required before a change is considered complete.

What is in the stack?

Eliza

Eliza is the user-facing agent app for web, desktop, and mobile targets. Its capabilities are supplied by the runtime and installed plugins, including:

• chat, voice, memory, knowledge, and document workflows;
• messaging and workspace connectors;
• calendar, reminders, inbox, goals, health, and other personal-assistant domains;
• browser and desktop automation;
• camera, phone, messages, contacts, location, and other native device bridges;
• non-custodial EVM and Solana wallet operations with approval boundaries; and
• scheduled workflows, coding-agent orchestration, and installable app views.

Availability depends on the operating system, installed plugins, granted permissions, and configured model or service providers. Package-level READMEs document the exact support and setup for each capability.

The framework

The framework is model-agnostic and extended through plugins:

• @elizaos/core defines AgentRuntime, the canonical types, the message loop, memory and state primitives, and plugin contracts.
• @elizaos/agent assembles a standalone agent and HTTP backend around the core runtime.
• @elizaos/app-core provides shared application hosting, API, and platform orchestration for Eliza app targets.
• @elizaos/ui contains the shared React UI used by app surfaces.
• elizaos is the project and plugin scaffolding, upgrade, and deployment CLI.

A plugin exports a Plugin object. Plugins can register actions, providers, evaluators, services, model handlers, routes, events, tests, and app views. See the plugin component guide and the first-party implementations under plugins/.

Local inference

@elizaos/plugin-local-inference provides the Eliza-1 on-device path. The current Eliza-1 registry contains 2B, 4B, 9B, and 27B text tiers based on Gemma 4, plus local embeddings, speech, vision, and image-generation assets. Hardware detection and model routing select supported backends; after the required assets are downloaded, eligible operations can run without a network connection.

Local inference is not forced on hardware that cannot support it. Eliza can route each model capability to local, direct-provider, or Eliza Cloud backends.

Eliza Cloud

Eliza Cloud is optional. It provides account and authentication services, hosted model routing, application and agent deployment, remote connectivity, and cross-device product services. The local runtime and direct model-provider configuration remain first-class paths.

elizaOS distributions

The standalone elizaOS/os repository owns bootable Linux and AOSP distributions, installers, release manifests, and OS toolchains. This monorepo retains the Eliza application shells and native runtime bridges used by desktop, iOS, Android, and device integrations.

Build with elizaos

The beta CLI published from this branch uses the unscoped elizaos package:

bun add --global elizaos@beta
elizaos create my-project --template project
elizaos create plugin-example --template plugin

Projects are deployable workspaces; plugins are reusable capability packages. The packaged templates and their scaffold contracts live in packages/elizaos/templates/.

To embed the runtime directly without the CLI or application host, import @elizaos/core. The scenario runner provides executable integration coverage against a real runtime and, when configured, live models.

Repository map

packages/        runtime, hosts, UI, CLI, docs, cloud, native code, and tooling
plugins/         first-party model, connector, domain, app, and device plugins
scripts/         repository-wide checks, test orchestration, and release tools
patches/         dependency patches applied during installation

Every maintained package or plugin should explain its public surface, scripts, configuration, and local constraints in its own README.md and paired CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md. Read the nearest package guide before making changes.

Contributing

Open an issue before a non-trivial change and submit work through a pull request against develop. CONTRIBUTING.md defines the coordination, testing, synchronization, and human-verifiable evidence requirements.
