# Cabinet

> Cabinet is a self-hosted AI workspace that unifies your company knowledge base with a team of AI agents that research, draft, and execute scheduled tasks 24/7.

Cabinet is a self-hosted AI workspace built for teams that want to run AI agents on their own infrastructure, using their own model accounts. It combines a file-based knowledge base (Markdown on disk), a team of configurable AI agents, and deep integrations with the tools companies already use — all without vendor lock-in or a proprietary database. The product is available as a free self-hosted download for Mac and Windows, with managed cloud hosting on a waitlist.

## What It Is

Cabinet positions itself as an "AI-first startup OS" — a single environment where a company's knowledge base, AI agent team, task management, and internal chat live together. Unlike chat-based AI tools that answer questions on demand, Cabinet runs agents on a cron-based schedule, so work like morning briefings, competitor scans, inbox triage, and pipeline digests happen automatically while teams sleep. Everything is stored as plain Markdown files in a folder the company owns, version-controlled by git, and portable without any export process.

## File-Based Architecture and Ownership Model

Cabinet's core design principle is that company knowledge should live as files on disk, not rows in a vendor's database. Key architectural choices include:

- **Markdown on disk**: All pages, OKRs, decisions, and meeting notes are plain text files — greppable, git-trackable, and moveable without an export request.
- **Git-backed history**: Every save auto-commits, enabling full diff viewing and point-in-time restore for any page.
- **No proprietary index**: Humans and AI agents read the same files; nothing is hidden in a vector database.
- **Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)**: Cabinet connects to model accounts the organization already holds — Claude, OpenAI/GPT, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, Cursor, opencode, Pi, and local models — with no markup on inference costs.

## AI Agent Team and Scheduled Automation

Cabinet's agents are not one-off chatbots. Each agent has goals, skills, and scheduled jobs. Teams can onboard role-specific agents (CEO, Editor, Marketer, SDR, Researcher) and assign them missions broken into tasks tracked on Kanban boards. Scheduled jobs use cron syntax — for example, a Reddit scout running every six hours or a weekly report every Monday. The enterprise page describes an always-on "Chief of Staff" agent that drafts a morning brief by 06:00 every weekday, grounded in OKRs, one-on-ones, and live data sources. Every dispatched task waits in a human approval queue before acting on anything external.

## Integrations and Knowledge Connectors

Cabinet connects to a wide range of enterprise tools to pull scattered work into one navigable directory:

- **Productivity & docs**: Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Notion, Confluence, Dropbox, Box
- **Communication**: Slack, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom
- **CRM & sales**: Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Zendesk, Intercom
- **Engineering**: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Datadog
- **Data & analytics**: BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, Tableau, Mixpanel, Amplitude
- **HR & finance**: Workday, BambooHR, Greenhouse, QuickBooks, Brex, Stripe, DocuSign

## Enterprise and Security Posture

Cabinet's security page highlights self-hosting as the default deployment model, meaning company knowledge stays inside the organization's own environment and policies. Additional enterprise-track features include SSO with SAML/OIDC, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, git history for all changes, data residency control, and a SOC 2 Type II certification described as in progress. The enterprise page notes Fortune 500 pilots running in Q2 2026 and positions Cabinet against Workboard (closed database, six-figure contracts) and Microsoft Viva Goals (retired December 2024).

## Update: Cabinet v0.6.0

The GitHub releases repository shows Cabinet v0.6.0 published on August 25, 2026, as the latest release. The repository (cabinetai/cabinet-releases) was created the same day, indicating this is an early public release milestone. Downloads are available as a Mac ARM64 DMG and a Windows EXE installer, with Linux described as coming soon. A CabinetCloud managed hosting option is on a waitlist, with the first 500 early supporters noted for priority access.
