Show HN: AgenticSeek – Self-hosted Manus alternative
github.comI’ve spent the last two months building AgenticSeek, a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based AI tools like ManusAI. It runs entirely on your machine—no API calls, no data leaks.
Why AgenticSeek?
Optimized for local LLMs (developed mostly on an RTX 3060 running deepseek r1 14b).
Truly private: All components (TTS, STT, planner) run locally.
More responsive than alternatives (we respond fast to issues + active Discord).
Designed to be fun—think JARVIS-like voice control, multi-agent workflows, and a slick web UI.
Current Features:
Web browsing (research + form filling), code write/fix, file management/search. Planning capabilites to use multiple agents for complex task.
Is it stable? Prototype-stage—great for tinkerers.
Hoping to get feedback!
How is this secure? Can the agent run `rm -rf /` and destroy my machine by chance?
I have not used this one yet but as a rule of thumb I always test this type of software in a VM, for example I have an Ubuntu Linux desktop running in Virtualbox on my mac to install and test stuff like this, which set up to be isolated and much less likely to have access to my primary Mac OS environment.
How does AgenticSeek handle agent communication and memory management?"
