We Open-Sourced Our AI Platform - Here's What We Learned

Vishal Kachalia — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 09:24:40 +0000

After building WEAM internally for 2+ years, we made the decision to open source the entire platform. Here's the story and what we're hoping for from the community.

What is WEAM?
WEAM is essentially "ChatGPT for teams" - but with some pretty interesting additions:

Multi-LLM support: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and more
Organizational structure: "Brains" that organize AI interactions by team/project
Custom agents: Build specialized AI assistants with knowledge bases
RAG pipeline: Upload documents and have AI reference them intelligently
Ready-made apps: QA analysis, video processing, content generation, etc.

Tech Stack

Frontend: Next.js (fully responsive)
Backend: Node.js + Python
Deployment: Docker-ready, 2-minute setup
Integrations: MCP protocol, OAuth 2.0, JWT auth

Why Open Source?
Honestly? Three reasons:

AI platforms shouldn't be black boxes 📦
The community will probably build cooler stuff than we ever could 🚀
We're genuinely curious what happens when developers get their hands on it 😄

What We're Looking For

Code reviews (especially architecture feedback)
Bug reports (they're definitely hiding in there)
Feature requests for our roadmap
Contributors who want to build cool AI apps with us

Get Started
bashgit clone https://github.com/weam-ai/weam.git cd weam bash build.sh docker-compose up -d

Repo: https://github.com/weam-ai/weam
Docs: https://docs.weam.ai

What do you think? Ready to help us figure out what we got right (or hilariously wrong)?
