Agent Zero

Use it when

• You need an agent that can operate real GUI desktop software and files in a sandboxed Linux environment, not just call APIs
• You want a self-hosted Dockerized agent workspace with a browser, live document cowork, per-project memory, and multi-agent delegation

What it solves

Not the fit when

• The retained README does not state a software license; verify reuse and redistribution rights before incorporating the source into another product
• Requires configuring an LLM provider or supported account-backed model plan after installation; model-provider or subscription costs are separate
• Do not mount an entire home directory unless you understand the exposure
• Grant A0 CLI read-write access and remote code execution only to trusted machines and workspaces
• Review actions touching accounts, money, production systems, or private data, and keep backups of important workspaces
• Store credentials in project secrets or settings rather than prompts or public files
• deterministic workflow orchestration
• llm inference serving
• lightweight single purpose cli agent

Install

With Docker already running: docker run -p 5080:80 -v a0_usr:/a0/usr agent0ai/agent-zero, then open http://localhost:5080

Invoke

Open the Web UI, configure your LLM provider, then give the agent tasks; it works in a full XFCE Linux desktop and browser inside the Canvas, e.g. ask it to open an app, edit a spreadsheet, or annotate a webpage
