AskAlf: Open-source multi-agent orchestration platform for self-hosted AI workflows
What AskAlf does
AskAlf is an open-source multi-agent orchestration platform designed to run on your own hardware. Unlike single-agent tools, it dynamically creates specialized workers that coordinate through an autonomous system.
Key technical features
- 10-layer cognitive memory system combining semantic, episodic, and procedural memories
- Memory storage using PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
- Autonomous system that reviews its own knowledge and creates investigation tickets when issues are found
- Ticket dispatch to appropriate workers with resolution tracking
- Memory consolidation that strengthens useful patterns over time (e.g., the 100th security scan knows exactly where to look)
Current implementation
- Uses Claude and OpenAI as AI providers
- Architecture is model-agnostic
- Local model support (Ollama, vLLM) is on the roadmap
Technology stack
Built with TypeScript, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis, Docker, and MCP Protocol.
