Multi-Agent Chat: why one "colossal agent" holding all your memory is the wrong default

Snippbot — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:52:53 +0000

Whether it's ChatGPT or some other AI chat, we're usually restricted to one "colossal agent" that holds all our session memory.
Cumbersome, inefficient, and — possibly — error prone.

Snippbot's answer is multi-agent chat: a team of agents in one room, each
with its own memory, its own persona, and its own slice of the work.

What that actually looks like

In the video below, four Snippbot agents — each owning a different slice of a
real business — plan a customer service agent live in one room. No script, no
cuts to the reasoning.

Two moments that don't happen with a single-agent puppet:

A specialist agent corrected its own PM on camera.
Another restored a safety rule that got dropped in synthesis.

That's the difference between one model in a costume and a team of agents that
actually check each other's work.

Why separate memories matter

Giving each agent its own memory and scope means no single context has to hold
everything — so the reasoning is auditable, the agents can disagree, and a miss
by one gets caught by another instead of silently baked into the answer.

Snippbot is self-hosted and source-available — you run it on your own
hardware, bring your own models, and own the whole stack.

Snippbot is live on Product Hunt

Snippbot — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:08:15 +0000

Excited guys! Today, Snippbot launched on Product Hunt. 🚀

Snippbot is a self-hosted, source-available platform for autonomous AI agents. The idea is simple: run capable AI agents on your own infrastructure — bring your own models, keep your data on your machine, and own the entire stack.

The core of it: build a team of AI agents you chat with in one room, each with its own persistent memory and tools. Add a workflow builder, browser automation, and "Loops" — agents that iterate toward a goal until it's met, then audit their own work. Layered OS-level sandboxing keeps tool execution contained. Free for personal use.

I built this solo because I wanted the power of autonomous agents without giving up control of my data or my systems. If that resonates, I'd be grateful for your support — and even more for your honest feedback.

AI Platforms Are Powerful but Not Polished — so I built one that is

Snippbot — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 06:25:49 +0000

AI models are the brain — and users are looking for the perfect body: the AI platform. So what are these platforms? Essentially, they're the OS (or hub, or gateway) that lets an AI model grow its capabilities, connect to services, and execute commands on your behalf.

When OpenClaw went public, developers leapt at the chance to customize it and make it their own. But that freedom surfaced real drawbacks: security holes, no code auditing, weak sandboxing, and no vetted source for the skills and tools people were installing. Users started to regret running something autonomous that still lacked a solid foundation.

I was one of those users.

The One to Rule Them All

At the time I was building Snippai — an agentic workflow platform built on xyflow — and I wanted an autonomous agent that could run automated tests and actually understand my codebase. OpenClaw gave me a taste of what AGI could feel like: autonomous, smart, proactive, user-centric.

But my biggest gripe was that it wouldn't let me use my Claude subscription, and I didn't have hundreds of dollars to burn on API tokens. So I built a bridge to use my Claude CLI subscription as an MCP server. It worked… kind of.

A week into my hackathon, I decided it wasn't going to cut it. I wanted to build the best agentic platform, not patch someone else's. So I prompted Claude to spec out what a futuristic agentic platform could look like — and that spec became the starting point for Snippbot.

I could rattle off every feature that'll have you raising an eyebrow — multi-agent chat, project generation, use your Claude subscription, layered security, a marketplace with package auditing, agent orchestration, a cognitive memory stack, plus all the hooks, bells, and whistles — but I won't. (Okay, I just did.) There's more, but you get the idea.

We're releasing a powerful agentic platform aimed not just at hobbyists, but at professionals and businesses that value security, trust, and real capability.

It's source-available and free for personal use, so you can read exactly what runs on your machine. (Source-available, not open source — the license is restrictive, and a public repo will come later. Being upfront about that.)

Try It

pipx install snippbot

snippbot setup

Open localhost:18781, hook up a channel, customize it, and give it a few days to build up some memory. That's when it clicks.

It's early — this is a beta — and honestly I'd rather hear what's broken than what's good.

We're launching on ProductHunt this Thursday July 16th, https://www.producthunt.com/products/snippbot?launch=snippbot

Help to give us a vote! Thanks!
