How to self-host one AI assistant for your whole household with Octop

Install Octop, run the setup wizard and give each family member their own expert and workspace.

Short answer: On macOS or Linux run curl -fsSL https://finnie-1258344699.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/octop/install.sh | bash; then open a new terminal (or source ~/.zshrc) so octop is on your PATH; run the first-run setup wizard with octop init. All steps.

Remote script. The installer is piped from a Tencent Cloud object storage URL into bash; read install.sh first or install from source.

Who it is forThe tech person in a household who wants everyone to use AI without sharing one account or sending data to many apps.

The problemShared AI accounts mix everyone's chats and memories, and each new app holds a copy of your data.

The outcomeOne Octop install with an admin account, separate experts per member, all data under ~/.octop/.

What you need first

  • macOS, Linux or Windows; the installer provisions Python 3.12 with uv under ~/.octop/
  • A multi-core CPU with a few GB of RAM and disk for workspaces and documents
  • Model provider keys of your choice; optional Playwright Chromium for browser automation

  1. On macOS or Linux run curl -fsSL https://finnie-1258344699.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/octop/install.sh | bash
  2. Open a new terminal (or source ~/.zshrc) so octop is on your PATH
  3. Run the first-run setup wizard with octop init
  4. Start everything with octop run and open the web dashboard
  5. Create a user per family member and assign each their own expert, providers and knowledge base
