AgenticSeek at a glance

Checked 16 Oct 2026

AgenticSeek (27.5k stars, GPL-3.0, very active in October 2026) picks a browsing, coding, file or planning agent for each request, searches through a bundled SearxNG, fills web forms and runs code in Python, C, Go, Java and more. It runs in Docker with a web UI, or as a CLI. It is designed for local models (at least a GPU that can run a 14B model); cloud APIs such as OpenAI or DeepSeek are optional. Voice is listed as in progress. Largely a one-maintainer side project with no roadmap or funding. No slides, site builder, scheduler or app connectors.
