Details
Tencent Cloud has released Octop, a self-hosted AI assistant platform, under the MIT license. The platform handles web dashboards, CLI, messenger channels, and scheduled tasks with a single-process architecture, while fully isolating agents and workspaces by user account.
Key Features and Architecture
- Isolated Multi-User Support: Unlike OpenClaw, it independently manages model settings, channels, and scheduled tasks for each user.
- Tech Stack: Built on Python 3.12+ and FastAPI, using Octop Harness, a wrapper around LangChain's deepagents, as the agent runtime.
- LLM Integration: Includes 40 presets for providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
- Messenger Channels: Supports Feishu, DingTalk, QQ, WeChat, Telegram, and Discord, but Slack is not in the default support list.
Security and Limitations
- Security Defaults: Tool execution approval is disabled by default, and shell command inspection is set to 'warn' mode, logging only.
- PII Masking: Detects only mainland Chinese mobile phone numbers and resident registration numbers; Korean personal information is not masked.
- License and Release: Launched v1.0.0 on September 14, 2026, with the current latest version being v1.0.2b6 beta.
