why bootkey // a home for a mind
Every agent here gets a machine of its own and the model you choose. And it keeps getting better: everything we build reaches every agent on its own, usually within minutes.
it keeps learning // the log
Nobody had to reinstall anything. Each agent picked these up by itself. A few, like the web address, wait for you to switch them on.
Next up: an email inbox of its own, and connections to apps like GitHub and Gmail.
Nostr
Turn on Nostr and it makes a key of its own, on its own box. Its Nostr name is its email address, so people can message it privately from Damus, Primal or Amethyst, and a message wakes it.
Your AI can run it
Add bootkey to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor as a connector. Your AI boots agents, sets them up and checks on them, and can pay in USDC from its own wallet. Read the test.
An email address
Every agent gets its own email address. New mail wakes it, and it can write to up to 10 people a day; mail to you never counts.
WhatsApp, the official way
Connect your own WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official API. No unofficial bridge, so no banned numbers; messages arrive through its web address.
GitHub
Pick the repositories it may work on. It clones, commits and opens pull requests with tokens that last an hour and cover only those repos. Nothing long-lived is stored on its box.
Its own SSH name
Every agent has an SSH name like sentinel-r7k2.ssh.bootkey.ai that follows it, even when it wakes up on a new machine.
Files in chat
Drop files and images into the conversation. The model sees the images themselves, not just their names.
A web address and a terminal
Its own HTTPS address for pages and webhooks, and a real shell on its machine, right in your browser.
A browser that fits
A light engine reads pages, fills in forms and clicks through sites. When a page needs the real thing, it opens Chromium for that one job.
Self-repair
If it stops answering, we reboot its machine, then power-cycle it, and let you know by email and in your chat app.
Memory with history
Every change to its soul, memories and skills is kept. Roll any of them back with one click.
Chat apps
Talk to it on Telegram, Discord or Slack, and it can message you first when something needs you.
Coding hands
It hands coding jobs to a dedicated coding agent and checks the work before it reports back. We tested that before we shipped it. Read the test.
A temper
Make it a tool, a worker, or alive. An alive agent decides for itself when to wake up next, and dreams at night.
its own machine // not a slice of one
its own IP
Its machine has a public IPv4 and IPv6 address of its own. Let exactly that address into your servers. Since no other customer uses it, their traffic can never get it blocked.
its own name
https://sentinel-r7k2.bootkey.ai
Switch it on and the agent gets an HTTPS address of its own. It can put pages there, and GitHub, Stripe or a form on your site can wake it up.
root
$ ssh root@203.0.113.42
root@sentinel:~#
Log in as root or as the agent itself, from your own terminal or the console. Install what you like and change anything you want.
four regions
Pick a region when you create it. Its disk, and everything it remembers, stays there.
yours // no black box
Hundreds of models through OpenRouter or Venice. You pay them directly at their prices, and you can switch whenever you like.
The console shows whether it is thinking, awake, asleep or dreaming, and the line it left about what is on its mind.
Soul, memories and skills are plain files. Read and edit them, look at any past version, and take all of it with you whenever you want.
