Minimal Personal AI Agent·zuckerman.ai
Zuckerman is an ultra-minimal personal AI agent that starts small and self-modifies its own code live, writing exactly the tools and features needed rather than relying on massive pre-built codebases. It is built on a three-layer architecture (World, Agents, Interfaces) that is plain-text configurable and instantly reloadable. It supports multi-channel messaging, voice, scheduling, and lets agents share improvements with each other via a contribution website.
