AskAlf: Open-source multi-agent orchestration platform for self-hosted AI workflows

What AskAlf does

AskAlf is an open-source multi-agent orchestration platform designed to run on your own hardware. Unlike single-agent tools, it dynamically creates specialized workers that coordinate through an autonomous system.

Key technical features

• 10-layer cognitive memory system combining semantic, episodic, and procedural memories
• Memory storage using PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
• Autonomous system that reviews its own knowledge and creates investigation tickets when issues are found
• Ticket dispatch to appropriate workers with resolution tracking
• Memory consolidation that strengthens useful patterns over time (e.g., the 100th security scan knows exactly where to look)

Current implementation

• Uses Claude and OpenAI as AI providers
• Architecture is model-agnostic
• Local model support (Ollama, vLLM) is on the roadmap

Technology stack

Built with TypeScript, PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis, Docker, and MCP Protocol.
