Star History

✨ Features

Today’s agents are one-off, task-driven tools. They lack context, live in isolation, and require manual hand-offs between different windows and models. While some maintain memory, it is often global, shallow, and impersonal. In this mode, users are forced to toggle between fragmented conversations, making it difficult to form structured productivity.

LobeHub changes everything.

LobeHub is a work-and-lifestyle space to find, build, and collaborate with agent teammates that grow with you. In LobeHub, we treat Agents as the unit of work, providing an infrastructure where humans and agents co-evolve.

Operator: Agents as the Unit of Work

Hires, schedules, and reports on your entire AI team.

• More productivity. Fewer tools: Bring all your agents under one roof.
• IM Gateway: Agents where you already chat.

Create: Agents as the Unit of Work

Building a personalized AI team starts with the Agent Builder. You can describe what you need once, and the agent setup starts right away, applying auto-configurations so you can use it instantly.

• Unified Intelligence: Seamlessly access any model and any modality—all under your control.
• 10,000+ Skills: Connect your agents to the skills you use every day with a library of over 10,000 tools and MCP-compatible plugins.

Collaborate: Scale New Forms of Collaboration Networks

LobeHub introduces Agent Groups, allowing you to work with agents like real teammates. The system assembles the right agents for the task, enabling parallel collaboration and iterative improvement.

• Pages: Write and refine content with multiple agents in one place with a shared context.
• Schedule: Schedule runs and let agents do the work at the right time, even while you are away.
• Project: Organize work by project to keep everything structured and easy to track.
• Workspace: A shared space for teams to collaborate with agents, ensuring clear ownership and visibility across the organization.

Evolve: Co-evolution of Humans and Agents

The best AI is one that understands you deeply. LobeHub features Personal Memory that builds a clear understanding of your needs.

• Continual Learning: Your agents learn from how you work, adapting their behavior to act at the right moment.
• White-Box Memory: We believe in transparency. Your agents use structured, editable memory, giving you full control over what they remember.

✨ more features will be added when LobeHub evolve.

🛳 Self Hosting

LobeHub provides Self-Hosted Version with Vercel, Alibaba Cloud, and Docker Image. This allows you to deploy your own chatbot within a few minutes without any prior knowledge.

[!TIP]

Learn more about 📘 Build your own LobeHub by checking it out.

A Deploying with Vercel, Zeabur , Sealos or Alibaba Cloud

"If you want to deploy this service yourself on Vercel, Zeabur or Alibaba Cloud, you can follow these steps:

• Prepare your OpenAI API Key.
• Click the button below to start deployment: Log in directly with your GitHub account, and remember to fill in the OPENAI_API_KEY(required) on the environment variable section.
• After deployment, you can start using it.
• Bind a custom domain (optional): The DNS of the domain assigned by Vercel is polluted in some areas; binding a custom domain can connect directly.

After Fork

After fork, only retain the upstream sync action and disable other actions in your repository on GitHub.

Keep Updated

If you have deployed your own project following the one-click deployment steps in the README, you might encounter constant prompts indicating "updates available." This is because Vercel defaults to creating a new project instead of forking this one, resulting in an inability to detect updates accurately.

[!TIP]

We suggest you redeploy using the following steps, 📘 Auto Sync With Latest

B Deploying with Docker

We provide a Docker image for deploying the LobeHub service on your own private device. Use the following command to start the LobeHub service:

1. create a folder to for storage files

$ mkdir lobehub-db && cd lobehub-db

2. init the LobeHub infrastructure

bash <(curl -fsSL https://lobe.li/setup.sh)

3. Start the LobeHub service

docker compose up -d

[!NOTE]

For detailed instructions on deploying with Docker, please refer to the 📘 Docker Deployment Guide

Environment Variable

This project provides some additional configuration items set with environment variables:

Environment Variable	Required	Description	Example
OPENAI_API_KEY	Yes	This is the API key you apply on the OpenAI account page	sk-xxxxxx...xxxxxx
OPENAI_PROXY_URL	No	If you manually configure the OpenAI interface proxy, you can use this configuration item to override the default OpenAI API request base URL	https://api.chatanywhere.cn or https://aihubmix.com/v1 The default value is https://api.openai.com/v1
OPENAI_MODEL_LIST	No	Used to control the model list. Use + to add a model, - to hide a model, and model_name=display_name to customize the display name of a model, separated by commas.	qwen-7b-chat,+glm-6b,-gpt-3.5-turbo

[!NOTE]

The complete list of environment variables can be found in the 📘 Environment Variables

Obtain OpenAI API Key

An API Key is required to chat with LLMs in LobeHub. This section uses the OpenAI model provider as an example to briefly introduce how to obtain an API Key.

A Via the Official OpenAI Channel

• Sign up for an OpenAI account; you will need an international phone number and a non-mainland-China email address;
• After signing up, go to the API Keys page and click Create new secret key to create a new API Key:

Step 1: Open the creation dialog	Step 2: Create the API Key	Step 3: Get the API Key

• Fill this API Key into the LobeHub API Key configuration and you are ready to go.

[!TIP]

Newly registered accounts usually come with a $5 free credit, but it is only valid for three months. If you want to keep using your API Key long-term, you need to bind a credit card to complete payment. Since OpenAI only supports foreign-currency credit cards, you will need to find a suitable payment channel yourself, which is not covered in detail here.

B Via an OpenAI Third-Party Proxy

If you find signing up for an OpenAI account or binding a foreign-currency credit card troublesome, you can consider using a well-known OpenAI third-party proxy to obtain an API Key, which can effectively lower the barrier to getting one. At the same time, however, once you use a third-party service, you may also need to bear its potential risks — please decide based on your own actual situation. Below is a list of common third-party model proxies for your reference:

	Provider	Features	Proxy URL	Link
	AIHubMix	Uses the OpenAI enterprise API; all models site-wide at 14% off the official price (incl. GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable 5)	https://aihubmix.com/v1	Get

[!WARNING]

Disclaimer: The OpenAI API Keys recommended here are provided by third-party proxies, so we are not responsible for the validity or security of these API Keys. Please bear the risks of purchasing and using them yourself.

[!NOTE]

If you are a model service provider and believe your service is stable enough and reasonably priced, feel free to contact us — we will consider recommending it after trying and testing it ourselves.

⌨️ Local Development

You can use GitHub Codespaces for online development:

Or clone it for local development:

$ git clone https://github.com/lobehub/lobehub.git
$ cd lobehub
$ pnpm install
$ pnpm dev          # Full-stack (Next.js + Vite SPA)
$ bun run dev:spa   # SPA frontend only (port 9876)

Debug Proxy: After running dev:spa, the terminal prints a proxy URL like https://app.lobehub.com/_dangerous_local_dev_proxy?debug-host=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A9876. Open it to develop locally against the production backend with HMR.
