Everything you need, in a single binary.
Go + Rust Dual Architecture
A hyper-concurrent Go core orchestrates the agent, while critical integrations (AI, WhatsApp, Secrets) run as isolated Rust subprocesses via JSON-RPC. 200ms cold start, 30MB RAM.
Graph-Based Memory
Moves beyond markdown file limitations. OpenLobster utilizes a proper graph database (Neo4j/GML) to build typed relationships as it interacts, allowing the agent to learn and navigate complex contexts without collapsing.
Unified Identities
Channel-agnostic management. Each user maintains their own conversation context, allowing the agent to synthesize a global knowledge graph that interconnects information across multiple users and platforms.
Event-Driven Scheduler
Your agent lives 24/7 without draining resources. A strict event loop wakes it only for real events and timed tasks, ensuring sub-second precision without overhead.
Native MCP Marketplace
Give your agent hands instantly. Install Model Context Protocol servers right from the SolidJS dashboard and expand its capabilities (Web Search, Git, Files) without touching code.
Engineered to Lead.
Compare the actual infrastructure, not just the marketing. OpenLobster is built for performance and absolute data ownership.
