autopilot

Your AI runs your digital life while you sleep.

A single Go binary that acts as your personal AI agent. It monitors your portfolio, tracks job applications, watches the web for changes, researches anything you ask, and sends you briefings on a schedule. Runs as a REPL, a background daemon, or one-shot from the command line. Your data stays on your machine.

Features

• Autonomous operation — Runs on a cron schedule. Morning briefings, evening digests, price alerts, and web change detection happen while you're away. No babysitting required.

• Research anything — Ask a question, get a synthesized answer with sources. Uses DuckDuckGo search and page fetching to gather real data, not hallucinated facts.

• Financial monitoring — Real-time stock and crypto quotes via Yahoo Finance. Portfolio tracking with cost basis, allocation analysis, and price alerts that fire when thresholds are crossed.

• Job search and tracking — Searches job boards based on your keywords, tracks applications through the pipeline (found > applied > interviewing > offer), and generates interview prep briefs.

• Web monitoring — Watch any URL for meaningful changes. Content-hashing with noise filtering ignores timestamps and CSRF tokens. Alerts only when something real changed.

• Persistent memory — SQLite-backed storage that remembers your conversation history, learned facts about you, and all module state across restarts.

• Multi-channel delivery — Talk to it in the terminal, get alerts on Discord via webhooks, or have a full two-way conversation through Telegram.

• Local-first — All data lives in ~/.autopilot/data/. No cloud accounts, no telemetry, no third-party data storage. Your conversations and portfolio data stay on your machine.

• Single binary — One go build, one binary. No Python, no Node, no Docker required. Drop it on any machine and run.

Quick Start

1. Install

go install github.com/divinedev111/autopilot/cmd/autopilot@latest

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/divinedev111/autopilot.git
cd autopilot
go build -o autopilot ./cmd/autopilot

2. Configure

cp config.example.yaml ~/.autopilot/config.yaml

# Set your API key (pick one):
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# or edit ~/.autopilot/config.yaml and set anthropic_key

3. Run

./autopilot

That's it. You're talking to your agent.

---

Usage

Interactive mode (REPL)

autopilot

Opens a terminal session where you can have a conversation. The agent has access to all tools — search, portfolio, job tracking, web monitoring — and will use them autonomously based on what you ask.

Background daemon

autopilot daemon

Runs in the background with scheduled tasks:

• Morning briefing at 8:00 AM (configurable)
• Evening digest at 8:00 PM (configurable)
• URL watchers checked every 5 minutes
• Price alerts evaluated on schedule

Alerts are delivered through configured channels (Discord, Telegram).

One-shot query

autopilot ask "what's the current price of NVDA?"

Ask a question, get an answer, exit. Useful for scripts and cron jobs.

Shortcuts

autopilot brief          # Run morning briefing now
autopilot portfolio      # Show portfolio summary
autopilot watch          # List active URL watchers
autopilot jobs           # Show tracked applications

Modules

Module	Tools	What it does
research	web_search, fetch_page, summarize_findings	Search the web, fetch pages, synthesize research
finance	get_stock_quote, get_portfolio, get_market_summary, set_price_alert	Live quotes, portfolio tracking, market overview, price alerts
monitor	add_watch, list_watches, remove_watch, check_watch	Watch URLs for changes, diff detection, intelligent alerting
jobs	search_jobs, track_application, list_applications, prep_interview	Job search, application pipeline, interview preparation

The agent decides which tools to call based on your message. You don't need to invoke tools directly.

How the agent loop works:

1. User message is added to conversation history (SQLite)
2. System prompt is built with personality, user facts, and available tools
3. Message is sent to Claude with all registered tools
4. If Claude returns tool calls, they're executed and results fed back
5. Loop continues until Claude returns a final text response
6. Response is stored in history and returned to the user

The loop is bounded to 25 tool calls per turn to prevent runaway execution. Transient API errors (429, 5xx) are retried with exponential backoff.

Daemon Mode

autopilot daemon

The daemon runs two types of background work:

Scheduled tasks — Cron-based tasks like morning briefings and evening digests. The scheduler parses standard 5-field cron expressions and runs tasks in goroutines at their scheduled times.

Telegram bot — If configured, the daemon starts a long-polling loop that listens for incoming Telegram messages. Each message is routed through the agent, and the response is sent back. Only messages from your authorized chat_id are processed.

The daemon shuts down gracefully on SIGINT or SIGTERM.

Running with Docker

docker compose up -d

The docker-compose.yml runs the daemon with a persistent volume for data and mounts your config file.

Building from Source

Requirements:

• Go 1.23+ (uses CGO for SQLite)
• GCC (for sqlite3 compilation)

git clone https://github.com/divinedev111/autopilot.git
cd autopilot
CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -o autopilot ./cmd/autopilot

Docker build

docker build -t autopilot .
docker run -v ~/.autopilot:/root/.autopilot -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" autopilot

Running tests

go test ./...

---

Data Storage

All persistent data lives in a single SQLite database at ~/.autopilot/data/memory.db:

• messages — Conversation history (prunable)
• facts — Key-value pairs the agent learns about you over time
• module_state — Per-module state (watchers, alerts, applications)

The database uses WAL mode for concurrent read/write safety and a 5-second busy timeout.

To start fresh:

rm ~/.autopilot/data/memory.db
