Sudosu 🚀

Your AI Coworker - Right in Your Terminal

Sudosu gives you AI coworkers that can actually get work done. Unlike chatbots that just talk, these teammates can read your files, write code, create documents, connect to all your tools (Gmail, Calendar, GitHub, Linear, Slack), and run commands - all while you stay in control.

No more hopping between tools. Your AI coworker does it all.

Installation

pip install sudosu

Quick Start

Zero configuration required. Just install and run:

# Install
pip install sudosu

# Start using immediately - no setup needed!
sudosu

That's it! Sudosu works out of the box with our hosted backend.

Example Tasks

# Start interactive session
sudosu

# Then just ask:
> Summarize the unread emails in my inbox
> Create a Linear ticket for the bug we discussed
> Check my calendar for tomorrow and draft a prep email
> Go through #product-team slack and summarize yesterday's messages

Connect Your Tools

# Inside sudosu, connect integrations:
/connect gmail      # Connect Gmail
/connect slack      # Connect Slack  
/connect linear     # Connect Linear
/connect github     # Connect GitHub
/connect notion     # Connect Notion

Self-Hosting (Optional)

Want to run your own backend? You can self-host the Sudosu backend with Docker Compose:

Setup with Docker Compose

1. Download the compose file: https://gist.github.com/csakash/d26619add372013af6d0e7b119af28c0

2. Create a .env file with your credentials:

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-google-api-key-here
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key-here
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database
RESEND_API_KEY=your-resend-api-key-here
LOG_LEVEL=INFO

3. Start all services:

docker-compose up -d

This will start:

• Backend API server (port 8000)
• Redis (for task queue)
• Background worker (for async tasks)

Connect CLI to Your Self-Hosted Backend

After starting your backend, configure the CLI:

sudosu
> /config mode dev
> /config backend ws://localhost:8000/ws

Requirements for Self-Hosting

• PostgreSQL Database: Any provider (Neon, Supabase, local, etc.)
• API Keys:
  • Google API Key (Gemini): Get here
  • Composio API Key: Get here
  • Resend API Key: Get here

Configuration (Optional)

Sudosu works out of the box, but you can customize it:

Environment Modes

# Development mode (local backend)
export SUDOSU_MODE=dev
sudosu

# Production mode (default - uses hosted backend)
export SUDOSU_MODE=prod
sudosu

# Or switch within CLI
/config mode dev   # Switch to development
/config mode prod  # Switch to production

Configuration Files

Sudosu stores minimal global config in ~/.sudosu/:

~/.sudosu/
└── config.yaml     # API keys, mode settings, user ID

Project-level configuration is created automatically when you run sudosu in any folder:

your-project/
└── .sudosu/
    ├── AGENT.md    # Your customizable AI assistant prompt
    ├── agents/     # Custom agents created with /agent create
    └── context.md  # (optional) Project context for all agents

Edit .sudosu/AGENT.md to customize how your AI assistant behaves in that project.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Internet connection (for hosted backend)
