a mind for your machines
🟢🚀 Public beta is here! Issues and PRs very welcome.
Most personal AI agents run on one host you pick and keep alive — a laptop, a VPS, a container. GSV turns all your devices into a single computer. It spans your laptop, server, and phone at once, lets an agent act on whichever one fits, and runs on the edge in your own Cloudflare account; your keys, your data, no host to provision or babysit. From ~$5/mo infra plus your own model costs.
What you can do
- Run things across all your machines from one agent — kick off a job on your home server while your laptop's shut.
- Keep agents working while your devices sleep — they live on the edge, not on your hardware.
- Reach it from anywhere — web UI, CLI, or WhatsApp / Discord / Telegram.
- Spawn durable agents with their own memory and permissions, that can start sub-agents of their own.
- Host your own packages and share apps between GSV instances through a built-in git remote.
- Hand your agent the browser. The web extension lets it drive your real browser — your tabs and logged-in sessions — so it works the sites you already use, not just the public web.
Under the hood it's a distributed OS: agents are durable processes with identities, history, permissions, and a syscall surface, plus an SDK for building apps. Named after the sentient ships from Iain M. Banks' Culture series, GSV (General Systems Vehicle) is a foundation for personal AI that lives across the edge.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: a Cloudflare account on the Workers Paid plan ($5/mo), and an API key for whatever model provider you want to run. Your model usage is billed separately by that provider.
1. Deploy
From the web (easiest, no terminal). Go to deploy.gsv.space, connect your Cloudflare account, and GSV deploys itself into it.
Or from the terminal:
# Install the CLI curl -sSL https://install.gsv.space | bash # Deploy all components into your own Cloudflare account gsv infra deploy --api-token <CLOUDFLARE-API-TOKEN>
Either way, open the URL it prints to finish onboarding in the web UI.
2. Start using it
Chat from the web UI right away, or from the CLI:
gsv chat "Hello, what can you help me with?"To connect a messenger (Discord / Telegram / WhatsApp), add more devices, and see what to do next, follow the full guide at docs.gsv.space/get-started.
Connect a Device
Connected devices are reachable by your agents from anywhere — outbound-only, so no open ports, no inbound connections, no VPN. Add one via GSV > Devices in the Web UI, or the CLI:
gsv auth token create --device macbook --label Macbook # note the token gsv config --local set node.token <token> gsv device install --id macbook --workspace ~/ # background service gsv device status
Now GSV can use the shell and read/write files on that machine. Set up adapters under GSV > Integrations.
OS Model
Linux-like by design, so agents can reason with familiar patterns (mental model, not POSIX).
- Kernel — the Gateway runs on Cloudflare, exposing authenticated syscalls (
proc.*,pkg.*,sys.*). - Processes — agents are durable processes with PIDs (
gsv proc list|spawn|send|kill). - Devices — connected machines act as execution nodes, scoped to a workspace.
- Messengers — Discord/Telegram/Whatsapp workers act like device drivers for external chat.
Development
./scripts/setup-deps.sh # install JS deps across workspace, adapters, ripgit cd web && npm run build # build web app cd .. && npm run dev # local multi-worker dev stack
Requires Rust and Node.js + npm.
