 "page_title": "How to run a persistent AI bot on your own computer with Rakazo",
 "summary": "Install Rakazo with published Docker images and chat with a bot that keeps its own memory.",
 "who": "A privacy-minded individual who wants a personal AI assistant on their own machine instead of a hosted chatbot, and is comfortable running Docker.",
 "problem": "Hosted AI assistants keep your bots and history on someone else's servers, and you cannot choose the model or sandbox behind them.",
 "outcome": "A running local Rakazo instance with an account, a connected model, and a first bot that keeps its own conversations and memory.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Docker Engine and the Compose plugin, and confirm curl and OpenSSL are available.",
  "Run `mkdir -p rakazo && cd rakazo && curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elie222/rakazo/main/infra/compose/install-images.sh && bash install-images.sh` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open http://127.0.0.1:5173, create an account, and connect a model.",
  "Create your first bot and send it a message in its chat."

 "agent_prompt": "In the Rakazo repo at https://github.com/elie222/rakazo, follow the Quick start (published images) section to install Rakazo into a folder named <target-folder> on this machine. Report the local URL and confirm that http://127.0.0.1:5173 loads a sign-in page. Verify that the .env file was created in <target-folder> with random secrets.",
