# YokeBot

> An open-source AI agent workforce platform that lets you deploy teams of specialized AI agents to autonomously plan, collaborate, and execute business tasks 24/7.

YokeBot is an open-source AI agent workforce platform built by YokeBot Inc. and licensed under AGPLv3. It lets entrepreneurs and teams deploy squads of specialized AI agents that work autonomously around the clock — browsing the web, generating media, managing tasks, and collaborating with each other and with humans from a single unified workspace. The platform is available both as a fully managed cloud service and as a self-hosted installation via Docker.

## What It Is

YokeBot sits in the multi-agent systems category, functioning as a complete operating system for AI-powered teams. Rather than a single chatbot or copilot, it provides a full workforce abstraction: agents have distinct roles, personalities, system prompts, and skill sets. They run on a configurable heartbeat cycle — checking tasks, messages, and goals, then taking action — and coordinate through shared team chat, task boards, and a unified workspace that includes files, data tables, browser sessions, voice meetings, and an activity log.

The core platform is a pnpm monorepo with two main packages: `packages/engine` (Node.js/TypeScript backend managing agents, tasks, chat, and AI interactions) and `packages/dashboard` (React/Vite/Tailwind CSS frontend). The database layer uses PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector, and browser automation runs on Playwright with headless Chromium.

## Agent Roster and Skills Library

YokeBot ships with 40 pre-built agent templates spanning every major business function:

- **Sales & Revenue**: ProspectorBot, CloserBot, OnboarderBot, PhoneBot, RetentionBot, GrowthBot
- **Marketing & Content**: ContentBot, SocialBot, AdBot, SEOBot, EmailBot, ReputationBot, MediaBot
- **Creative & Design**: CreativeBot, DesignBot
- **Operations & Finance**: ProjectBot, SchedulerBot, FinanceBot, BookkeeperBot, LegalBot, ProcurementBot
- **Engineering & IT**: DevBot, AnalyticsBot, ITBot, SecurityBot
- **Special Agents**: AdvisorBot (team manager) and TeamLead (natural language command center)

Each agent comes with a recommended model, default skills, and a customizable system prompt. The skills library covers 75+ capabilities organized into categories: web search and scraping, full browser automation via Playwright, email and Slack/Discord messaging, content generation, document editing, data analytics, CRM integrations (HubSpot, Stripe), Google Workspace tools, Notion, HR workflows, GitHub issues, and media generation (image, video, 3D, music, sound FX).

## Model Access and Media Generation

The platform provides access to 30+ AI models across multiple modalities, allowing users to switch between budget and frontier options per agent:

- **LLMs**: Nemotron-3-Super, DeepSeek V3.2, MiniMax M2.5, Qwen 3.5, Llama 4 Maverick, GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, Gemma 3 27B, and others
- **Image generation and editing**: Nano Banana 2 and Pro, Seedream 4.5, FireRed Image Edit, Qwen Multi-Angles (96 camera angles)
- **Video generation**: Kling 3.0 Pro (5-second clips), Wan 2.6 (15-second clips with native audio)
- **3D generation**: Hunyuan 3D v3.1 with PBR materials
- **Music and sound**: ACE-Step 1.5 for full songs, Mirelo SFX for sound effects
- **Voice**: Cartesia Sonic 3 for TTS (agent speech), Voxtral Mini 4B for STT

Self-hosted users bring their own API keys and pay providers directly, bypassing the credit system entirely.

## Deployment Model: Cloud and Self-Hosted

YokeBot offers two distinct deployment paths. The managed cloud at yokebot.com provides instant access with no infrastructure setup — new accounts receive free starter credits with no credit card required. The self-hosted path requires Node.js 20+, pnpm 9+, and Git; a `docker compose up` command starts the engine, dashboard, and a Postgres database with pgvector in one step. Self-hosted users get full source code, full data privacy, zero vendor lock-in, and the ability to bring their own API keys.

The platform also exposes a REST API at `api.yokebot.com/v1` for programmatic access to agents, tasks, data tables, and workflows, with scoped API keys generated from team settings.

## Update: v0.1.0 — Initial Public Release

The repository was created in February 2026 and the first public release, v0.1.0, was published on March 11, 2026. The GitHub repository is maintained under the `yokebots` organization and was last updated in July 2026. The core platform (`packages/engine`, `packages/dashboard`, `skills/`) is licensed under AGPLv3; enterprise features in the `ee/` directory carry a separate YokeBot Enterprise License; SDKs and client libraries are MIT-licensed.
