# PlumoAI

> An open-source autonomous AI employees platform where AI workers think, plan, select their own agents, build workflows, and deliver outcomes — with built-in project management.

PlumoAI is an open-source platform that lets teams hire autonomous AI employees — not chatbots or simple automations, but role-based AI workers that plan their own approach, select agents from a library, build workflows, and report results back into a shared project board. The platform is currently in beta and available for self-hosting via Docker, with a managed cloud option also available.

## What It Is

PlumoAI positions itself as an "AI Employee OS" — an operating system for autonomous AI workers that operate as real organizational units. Each AI employee is defined by six components: a **role** (e.g., Sales Manager, Research Analyst), **tools** (agents it can access), **authorization** (granular permissions on what it can read, write, or trigger), **memory** (short-term task context plus long-term persistent knowledge), **presence** (channels it operates on — email, Slack, calls, project board), and **accountability** (ownership of outcomes, not just task completion). The platform started as a project management and internal tooling product — a replacement for Jira and Confluence — and evolved into the AI employee layer on top of that foundation.

## How AI Employees Work

When you assign a goal to an AI employee, it does not wait for you to configure a workflow. It reads the goal, scans the platform's agent library, selects the agents it needs, estimates token cost, builds the execution plan, and presents it for your approval before starting. For example, a goal like "book 50 enterprise meetings this month" causes the AI Sales Manager to autonomously pick a Data Scraping Agent, Workflow Builder Agent, Email Agent, Call Agent, CRM Agent, and Scheduler Agent — then run the full outreach motion and report results at month end. Human approval is required before execution begins, keeping humans in the loop at the plan stage.

## Agent Ecosystem and Community

The platform ships with a growing library of agents that AI employees can reach for:

- **Data Scraping Agent** — LinkedIn, Apollo, web sources
- **Email Agent** — Gmail, Outlook, SMTP
- **Call Agent** — Calendly, Aircall, Twilio
- **CRM Agent** — HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or PlumoAI's own CRM
- **Workflow Builder Agent** — sequences, triggers, logic
- **Memory Agent** — long-term context and recall
- **OpenClaw** — multi-step workflow execution engine for advanced reasoning
- **Hermes Agent** — self-improving with persistent skills

Anyone can build and submit an agent via GitHub (agents live in `ai-agents/` in the repo). The platform discovers submitted agents automatically and makes them available to all AI employees. Pre-trained AI employee templates (Sales Manager, Research Manager, Operations Manager, Marketing Manager, Product Manager) are available out of the box; community-built employees can be downloaded as zip files and imported in one step.

## Deployment Model and Self-Hosting

PlumoAI runs as a multi-container Docker Compose stack (UI + APIs + AI service + MySQL + MongoDB + Milvus) behind Traefik. The GitHub README documents installation for Windows, Linux, and macOS in both domain mode (HTTPS with Let's Encrypt) and localhost mode. System requirements for self-hosting are substantial: minimum 2 vCPU and 16 GB RAM, with 30 GB disk; production deployments are recommended at 4+ vCPU, 32+ GB RAM, and 100+ GB SSD. Self-hosting is free with no feature limits, no seat caps, and no per-action billing from PlumoAI — users pay only for their own infrastructure. The managed cloud option uses a prepaid credit wallet with usage-based billing per AI employee action.

## Platform Scope and Availability

Beyond AI employees, PlumoAI includes a full project management workspace where humans and AI employees share the same board — tasks assigned to either show up identically, and AI employees log results, token usage, and status directly back into the project. A low-code/no-code builder is included for creating internal apps without engineering effort. The platform is accessible via web app, an Android app on Google Play (iOS listed as coming soon), and a desktop app download. The web app and mobile app can both connect to a self-hosted instance, keeping all data on the user's own infrastructure.

## Update: v1.0.3

The latest release is v1.0.3, published in May 2026, with the repository last updated in August 2026. The project is currently in beta — the GitHub README explicitly notes beta status and directs users with setup issues to a Discord live support call. The roadmap is organized into three phases: Phase 1 (core platform and Docker deployment, complete), Phase 2 (AI agent developer framework and MCP-based integrations), and Phase 3 (pre-built AI employee templates for sales, research, operations, marketing, and product management). The repository has 38 stars and 20 forks as of the latest data.
