# What is Avibe

> Avibe is the local-first Agent OS — the operating layer an AI agent lives in, on your own machine.

Avibe is the **local-first Agent OS**. One install command turns your own machine into the runtime an AI agent lives in, and you operate that agent from a browser Workbench or any chat app.

Coding is the first strong workload — not the product boundary.

## The model

Think of Avibe as the layer between your machine and the way you already work:

* **Substrate** — your own machine becomes the place the agent runs and lives.
* **Inhabitant** — an official first-party agent (Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode) is the partner living there.
* **Interface** — you talk to it from a browser Workbench, or from Slack, Discord, Telegram, WeChat, and Lark.
* **Access** — `vibe remote` gives that machine a public address through the avibe.bot tunnel, so you can reach it from anywhere.

## What makes it different

### Local-first, and yours

Your AI partner, its execution, your keys, and your data stay on your own machine. avibe.bot only issues identity and a secure tunnel — it never proxies your data. This is an architectural stance, not a setting.

### One substrate, every first-party agent

Avibe drives the *official* Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode directly — not a cut-down embedded copy. Bring your own subscription or API keys, switch agents per task, and never get locked into one vendor's silo. → [Claude Code](/agents/claude-code) · [OpenCode](/agents/opencode) · [Codex](/agents/codex)

### It keeps its own timeline

The Agent Harness gives your partner durable primitives — run a job, schedule a time trigger, watch a condition, inspect history — so it can act without you pressing a button. → [Commands](/reference/commands)

### It can show, not just tell

Show Pages let the agent hand you a live web page — a dashboard, a diagram, a diff, a report — reachable from your phone through the same tunnel.
