orlybot documentation

orlybot is an open-source AI companion for group chats. Use these docs to create a bot, connect it to the conversations where it belongs, tune its behavior, or run the full stack on your own infrastructure.

Start here

• Getting started gives you the shortest path to a working bot.
• Using orlybot covers bots, connections, AI settings, conversations, and uploads.
• Self-hosting covers local development, configuration, architecture, background work, and Docker deployment.

The hosted app and a self-hosted instance use the same product concepts. You can start with usage and move into operations whenever you need to.
