Zeus is a new open-source application that runs AI agents locally on your computer with a web and mobile UI, letting agents interact with files, shell commands, and browsers without cloud vendor lock-in. All data stays on your machine in editable files, and you can bring your own AI model—cloud or fully local—making it useful for developers and non-technical users who want private, self-contained agent automation.

Zeus is an open-source application that lets users run AI agents locally on their computer via a web UI and mobile app. Agents can read and write files, run shell commands, control a browser, search the web, manage tasks, and orchestrate sub-agents — all without sending data to the cloud.
Why it matters
Users retain full control over their data (stored in plain files on disk) and can choose any AI model — cloud-based (Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock) or fully local via the built-in Ollama integration. The application handles the complexity of agent orchestration, memory management, and timeout handling in one place.
What to watch
Zeus is open source and early-stage. Installation requires Python 3.11+ and runs on macOS or Linux/WSL. The web UI launches at http://127.0.0.1:8756; users can also serve it on a private Tailscale network to control agents from a phone anywhere.
