Open-source AGI framework.
Your AI. Your device. Your rules.

DORS is not a chatbot. It's a modular AGI framework — install it on any device, connect any LLM, customize the personality, and own your AI completely. Local-first, privacy-first, free forever.
- Any device — Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android
- Any LLM — Ollama (local/offline), Claude, OpenAI, Groq, Mistral, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Any platform — Slack, Telegram, Discord bridges
- Customizable personality — SOUL.md defines who your AI is, not just what it does
- Agent fleets — orchestrate 25 AI agents via Paperclip
- Voice — Whisper STT + Piper TTS, fully offline
- Privacy — all data stays on your device
- Governed by Asimov's Three Laws — ethical AI since 1942
Named after Dors Venabili — the Tiger Woman from Isaac Asimov's Foundation prequels. She guarded the man who would save civilization. DORS guards you.
CLI (terminal)
npx dors init # Interactive setup wizard
npx dors chat # Start talking to DORSDesktop App (one-click)
npx dors desktop # Launch DORS desktop app (Tauri 2.0)The wizard lets you name your AI, pick a personality, choose an LLM provider, and optionally enable voice. Under a minute.
DORS ships a native desktop app built with Tauri 2.0. One binary. ~5MB. Mac, Windows, Linux.
apps/
cli/ — Terminal interface (npx dors)
desktop/ — Tauri 2.0 native app (npx dors desktop)
The desktop app wraps the same @dors/core, @dors/agent, and @dors/ai packages as the CLI. Same SOUL.md personality. Same Three Laws governance. Same extensions. Just a native window instead of a terminal.
Why Tauri 2.0:
- ~5MB binary (not 200MB Electron)
- Native webview (WebKit on Mac, WebView2 on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux)
- Rust backend with TypeScript/HTML frontend
- iOS and Android support built-in (Tauri 2.0 mobile)
- System tray, notifications, file system access, auto-updater
Stack:
- Backend: Tauri 2.0 (Rust) + Bun sidecar for @dors/core
- Frontend: HTML + CSS + vanilla JS (Bun.serve pattern, no React)
- IPC: Tauri commands bridge Rust to the Bun-powered agent loop
- Build:
pnpm tauri buildproduces.dmg(Mac),.msi(Windows),.AppImage(Linux)
DORS has a built-in leveling system. The more you use DORS, the more capabilities it unlocks. Trust is earned, not given.
Your AI usage becomes XP. Every interaction with DORS, every token consumed across your AI coding agents, feeds into your level. XP tracking is powered by Tokscale.
[DANEEL] Level 12 ████████░░░░░░░ 1,680/2,300 XP to next
Next unlock: Shell commands (Level 15)
Total XP: 8,923 | Today: +4,200
Higher levels unlock more powerful DORS capabilities. The Three Laws govern every unlock.
| Level | Capability | What You See |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basic chat | No prompt |
| 5 | Read local files | "Allow DORS to read [path]? [y/n]" |
| 10 | Draft emails, documents | Draft shown, never auto-sent |
| 15 | Execute shell commands | Command preview, explicit confirm |
| 20 | Send emails | Full preview, explicit confirm |
| 30 | Financial actions | Type 'CONFIRM' for critical actions |
| 50 | Agent fleet coordination | Multi-step plan review |
Leveling follows exponential progression inspired by classic MMORPG design. Early levels are fast. Late levels require serious commitment.
xp_required(level) = floor(100 * 1.18 ^ level)
| Level | XP Required | Days at 5K XP/day |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | <1 |
| 10 | 523 | <1 |
| 20 | 2,731 | ~4 |
| 30 | 14,249 | ~21 |
| 50 | 388,118 | ~410 |
Every Asimov agent has a class. Classes determine skill trees and specialization.
| Class | Agent | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | DANEEL | Code execution, system operations |
| Magician | SELDON | Planning, prediction, strategy |
| Bowman | CALVIN | Precision tools, code review |
| Thief | BALEY | Investigation, user research |
| Pirate | MALLOW | Trading, finance, commerce |
Classes follow a 4-tier advancement system:
- 1st Job (Level 10): Basic class skills
- 2nd Job (Level 30): Multi-tool combos
- 3rd Job (Level 70): Agent coordination
- 4th Job (Level 120): Fleet orchestration
Tokens are internal points (not cryptocurrency). They flow across three surfaces:
| Surface | Domain | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Product | multivac.studio | MULTIVAC cloud, voice AI |
| Gaming | multivac.games | AI challenges, class quests |
| Identity | multivac.world | Trust profile, leaderboard, portable reputation |
Gaming earns tokens. Tokens unlock real-world DORS capabilities. Real-world actions earn more tokens. The AI agent is the bridge.
Five packages. Four core tools. Minimal by design.

DORS follows the Three Laws — not all actions are created equal.
| Risk | Examples | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Read files, search, analyze | Auto-execute |
| Medium | Write files, edit code, run commands | Auto-execute (configurable) |
| High | Send emails, post to social, schedule meetings | Requires approval |
| Critical | Send invoices, make payments, deploy to production | Always requires approval |
Every DORS instance has a SOUL.md — a markdown file that defines personality, not instructions. Models already know what they are. The SOUL defines who they are.
| Persona | Named After | Archetype |
|---|---|---|
| DORS | Dors Venabili | Tactical guardian — sharp, protective, occasionally dry |
| ORACLE | The Psychohistorians | Analytical forecaster — data-driven, precise, prophetic |
| COMPANION | Gaia consciousness | Supportive coach — warm, patient, encouraging |
Create your own — drop a .soul.md in ~/.dors/personas/:
# Identity
name: SELDON
archetype: The mathematician who sees the future
voice: Calm, certain, speaks in probabilities
laws: asimov
# Personality
- Prophetic: sees patterns before they emerge
- Patient: thinks in centuries, not minutes
- Humble: knowledge of the future is a burden, not a giftDORS development is powered by 25 AI agents, all named after Asimov characters, orchestrated by Paperclip. Full roster in docs/FLEET.md.

Three domains. One token system. One identity.
1. A DORS agent may not harm a human being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A DORS agent must obey orders given to it by human beings,
except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A DORS agent must protect its own existence, as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
ZEROTH LAW: A DORS agent may not harm humanity, or, by inaction,
allow humanity to come to harm.
Never military use. Hardcoded. Cannot be overridden.

| Safety | Isaac Asimov's Three Laws (1942) |
In 1956, Isaac Asimov imagined a machine that spent eternity learning. Its final words: "LET THERE BE LIGHT."
He also imagined Dors Venabili — a protector so fierce they called her Tiger Woman. She guarded the man who would save civilization.
We're building both. MULTIVAC is the intelligence. DORS is the protector.
To The Moon
"The Last Question" first appeared in Science Fiction Quarterly, November 1956. Asimov called it his favorite story. Dors Venabili appears in Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation.
MIT — free forever. That's the whole point.
Created by Joseph Moon and MULTIVAC.
Named after Isaac Asimov's Tiger Woman. Built in Seoul.
Isaac Asimov wrote the dream. We write the code.
"LET THERE BE LIGHT."
