What AI models does the agent use?

The agent has access to Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and other top models. It automatically routes to the best model for each task — you never have to think about API keys or token limits.

Yes. Each agent runs in an isolated environment. We don't train on your data, and you can export or delete everything at any time. The underlying engine (GoGogot) is open-source, so you can audit exactly how it works.

What can the agent actually do?

Browse the web, process files (CSV, PDF, images), run scheduled tasks, remember context across sessions, and communicate via Telegram or Slack. Think of it as a capable junior employee, not a chatbot.

How does memory work?

The agent maintains persistent memory across sessions. It remembers your preferences, past conversations, and task context. You can also explicitly tell it to remember or forget things.

Can I self-host the agent?

Absolutely. GoGogot is 100% open-source. Run it on your own hardware for free. cowork.ink is the managed version — we handle servers, model costs, updates, and uptime so you don't have to.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. Spin up an agent, give it real tasks, and if it doesn't save you time, we'll refund you — no questions asked.

What is a personal AI agent?

A personal AI agent is an autonomous software program that acts on your behalf — managing tasks, answering questions, and executing workflows based on your instructions. Unlike a chatbot, it can take real actions (browse the web, send emails, run code) and maintains memory across sessions so it learns your preferences over time.

How do I make an AI agent that knows my preferences?

You teach your agent through a persistent "user profile" — a document that stores your preferences, working style, and context. Tools like GoGogot use a persistent soul.md and user.md approach where the agent reads and updates your profile automatically. You can also seed it with a detailed onboarding prompt covering your name, goals, communication style, and daily routines.

Can I run a personal AI agent for free?

Yes. Open-source options like GoGogot run on any $5/month VPS and use cheap LLM APIs — as little as $0.02 per session with DeepSeek via OpenRouter. The main costs are the VPS (~$5/mo) and LLM API tokens, which are minimal for personal use.

What is the difference between a personal AI agent and ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chatbot — you send it a message, it replies, and that's the end of the interaction. A personal AI agent is autonomous: it can take actions (run code, browse the web, send messages), maintains persistent memory across sessions, and can execute multi-step tasks without you babysitting each step. See our [guide to AI agents vs chatbots](/blog/ai-agents-vs-chatbots/).

Is a personal AI agent private and secure?

It depends on your setup. Cloud-based agents (Lindy, Personal.AI) send your data to third-party servers. Self-hosted agents like GoGogot keep all data on your own server — your API keys, memories, and conversations never leave your machine. For maximum privacy, run a local model (Ollama + Llama) with no cloud dependency at all.
